Dangers of synthetic drug laid out at teen’s inquest

A bloodied, naked teenager danced obliviously on a broken mirror on the street. A young girl experiencing her “best ever hallucinogenic” trip danced naked; another girl described watching a young man running around screaming in people’s faces — and a young man died from brain damage following cardiac arrest.

All were at the same party and all had taken the synthetic and illegal ‘N Bomb’.

The real and varied dangers of taking synthetic drugs were outlined at yesterday’s inquest into the death of Alex Ryan of Millstreet in Co Cork.
