Coon Rapids Teen Dies After 'Mass Overdose'

A 19-year-old from Coon Rapids has died following a 'mass overdose' in Blaine. Two other people are in critical condition.

According to the Anoka County Sheriff's Department, eleven teens and young adults who had overdosed just after midnight Thursday, were taken to the hospital.

Detectives say the substance ingested could be a designer drug hallucinogenic known as "2 C-E."

Officers responded to the 9500 block of Monroe Street NE after reports of the alleged overdose. When they arrived, officers discovered multiple teens and young adults had ingested a substance and were in medical duress.

Officers learned some of the people who had overdosed had left, and were suffering at other locations.

After all the group was accounted for, 11 people were taken to Mercy, Unity and North Memorial hospitals.

The substance the group ingested was ordered over the Internet. Officials caution that they have not yet received confirmation from the state crime lab of what compound was ingested.

Coon Rapids Man Dies, 10 Hospitalized After 'Mass Overdose'

A 19-year-old from Coon Rapids has died following a 'mass overdose' in Blaine. Ten others were in the hospital Thursday night, two in critical condition.

A friend of the victim says Trevor Robinson was a great kid who leaves behind a five-month-old son.

According to the Anoka County Sheriff's Department, deputies responded to a home on the 9500 block of Monroe Street NE just before 1 a.m. Thursday after reports of an alleged overdose. Some of the party-goers, who were between the ages of 16 and 21, had left the home but were later tracked down.

Investigators say the group was taking what they thought was "2 C-I," a synthetic drug bought off the Internet. Lab tests revealed it was "2 C-E," a hallucinogenic drug from the same family. Authorities say some people inhaled it by cutting lines, others put it in drinks.

After the group was accounted for, 11 people were hospitalized. Authorities said Friday that most of them have been released.

A woman who answered the door at the home Thursday had no comment, but she did say people are very upset.

Investigators say dealing with this type of drug is new territory for them, but they wanted parents to be aware, and to talk with their kids about it.

Although rare, there have been several U.S. deaths from drugs similar to 2C-E since 2000. Carol Falkowski, a drug abuse strategy officer with the Minnesota Department of Human Services, said the drugs were more common about 10 years ago, when raves parties were popular.

Falkowski said 2C-E is chemically similar to 2C-B, which is regulated as a controlled substance and therefore would not be legal to buy online. A federal law says "cousin drugs" similar to 2C-B can be considered illegal if they're intended for consumption, but the law does not specifically regulate all similar versions that have surfaced over the years, such as 2C-I and 2C-T-7.

"They're all just a molecule away from each other," Falkowski said. None of the drugs is approved for human use, and they have been known to produce adverse reactions, especially when combined with prescription drugs, particularly antidepressants, Falkowski said.

"It's really a sad situation where so many people are involved in using a drug that can have such harmful effects," Falkowski said. The federal Drug Enforcement Agency has recorded at least two deaths from 2C-T-7, including one in Oklahoma in April 2000 and one in Washington in 2001 involving a person who used it with Ecstasy.

Regulating designer drugs is difficult because the makers can tweak the formulas so easily. Lawmakers have struggled with similar issues in their efforts to curb the sale of synthetic marijuana. A federal ban on the sale of five chemicals used to make the fake pot took effect last month.

Sold in drug paraphernalia shops and on the Internet, synthetic marijuana has been marketed under various brands, including Spice, K2, Blaze and Red X Dawn. Versions using slightly different chemicals remain available.

"The danger is that a lethal dose can occur and when you're purchasing them from these rogue websites, there's no certainty about the type of dose you're getting and no certainty about the purity of the substance," Falkowski said.

Right. The "rogue" websites physically prevented the kids from looking up dosage and using a scale. Consumerism has damaged the intellect of so many people that unless everything is premade/precooked/premeasured for them they can't handle the situation.

It sucks that a guy is dead. But it sucks just as much that it was avoidable if only they had read their shit. For that many people to have ODed they would have to have bought quite a lot and done practically no research.

It was mislabelled. How you gonna research a chem you don't know you have?

It was probably 2CP.
2CE even in a higher dose wouldn't kill you.
But 2CP in 2CI doses could cause heart issues.
