The CVPH Medical center in Plattsburgh, has seen a drastic increase in the number of people admitting in their emergency department, suffering complications from a synthetic form of marijuana. Most of them are in critical condition and this shows the severity in the condition of drug abuse.
After observing the cases which are admitted with severe complications, they reported some of the symptoms of serious conditions. The symptoms vary from high agitation and anxiety to hallucinations and paranoia. And the most common thing was the elevated heart rates. While the normal heart rates stand at 60-80, the rates of synthetic cannabis patients will experience 120-140.
The experts from the medical center also added saying that there is no good treatment for the patients admitted for smoking pot. The staff of the emergency department are mostly observing patients until the chemicals are flushed from the system. Unlike other drugs, K2 will not show up on drug screening and even though the patients admitted that they used K2, it leads to further complications in treating the patients.
Many of the patients fear to come to the treatment by thinking that becomes legal. To avoid this situation the management is planning to educate the staff. Since K2 use is not illegal, the patients can undoubtedly get treatment for that .
The federal Drug Enforcement Agency has taken emergency measures to ban several chemicals present in the synthetic product, however the temporary court injunction has halted DEA’s emergency efforts. Since several states have already banned fake pot, New York is also considering the case.

It is common that, if an employee is injured or died in the course of his employment, then they or their families or dependents are often entitled to collect worker’s compensation benefits. Thus, it is a type of employer-paid insurance that provides medical and indemnity benefits for work related injuries and diseases as well as financially support the employees while they are recovering.
Earlier, it was treated as the employee benefit, but later, it is legally mandated as right of the worker. Employers who are legally required to have workers compensation insurance but fail to purchase it and do not qualify as “self-insured by law” usually can be sued through the system of court. In case, if the employer was found to be negligent, and if that negligence directly caused a worker’s injury, the employer would be liable for the injuries. However, there might be extra penalties on uninsured employers.
Workers Compensation insurance is a social insurance system, falling under the state regulations that gives partial wage or missed salary replacement for temporary or permanent loss of earnings for job-related injuries and illnesses. Each state has different requirements, but generally any business that has full or part time employees must carry workers compensation insurance to cover these employees.
The cost of the workers compensation insurance is based on rates per 100 of payroll and depend on the job classification of the employee. Basically, the cost for an employer depends on the specific employers loss history, premium size and type of work, that is devised throughout the years.
