A 13-year-old in the U.S. who became ill after smoking synthetic marijuana and had a double lung transplant has died.
Tonya Rice tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review newspaper that her 13-year-old son, Brandon, died Thursday morning at a hospital in Pennsylvania.
The boy smoked the fake marijuana out of a plastic candy dispenser and suffered chemical burns to both lungs. He was put on a respirator in June and had a double lung transplant in September.

I don't know much about this synthetic pot stuff. I know it was in the stores here for a while but I think it's illegal now. I saw this article today about a kid who died from smoking it but I think the problem was not the pot but him inhaling plastic fumes (since he didn't know how to smoke it). 13 year olds shouldn't be smoking anything anyway. I think they should make the real stuff legal, but I have no idea what this fake stuff is. Maybe Spunk can clear it up for us. ;D
