SYNTHETIC cannabis may be the source of medical problems, including hallucinations and seizures, suffered by people in Aboriginal communities in South Australia's far north.
In a statement on Tuesday, police said they and the communities were concerned about recent reports of what appears to be synthetic cannabis being distributed on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) lands.
"At least half a dozen people have presented to health clinics recently with medical problems including ailments such as vomiting, stomach cramps, imbalance, hallucinations, disorientation, nausea, seizures, fits, and unconsciousness," police said.
They warned that synthetic cannabis should not even be touched because it can enter the skin through the pores.
Like cannabis, the possession, sale and distribution of synthetic cannabis or a substance that imitates cannabis is illegal.
Police are working with the local community and agencies to identify the source of the drug.
Synthetic cannabis looks like cannabis, is smoked and is sold under a range of brand names including Spice, Kronic, Northern Lights and K2.
