Authorities say around 30 people in New Haven, Connecticut, have been taken to area hospitals for suspected drug overdoses, a spokesman confirmed to HuffPost. New Haven police said the number includes 15 people who overdosed within 45 minutes of each other on Wednesday morning at the New Haven Green, a large city park, CBS New York reported. Authorities suspect K2, a manmade cannabinoid, is to blame for the incident and noted that the substance may have been laced with other drugs. “We’ve heard from people on the green that it potentially included PCP. Some of the reactions in the emergency room would suggest that there was an opioid involved as well,” Emergency Medical Services Medical Director Dr. Sandy Bogucki told reporters Wednesday.
