‘Zombie’ New Yorkers were seen struggling for the second straight day with the effects of a synthetic marijuana known as K2 – which is reportedly being sold for as little as $1 a hit.
Shocking pictures showed one woman wearing the same clothing she had on on Tuesday when she was pictured high on the synthetic drug.
Wearing a blue and white New York Yankees shirt, the woman was approached by police and asked to move along on Wednesday.
She was photographed while sitting on the sidewalk and blowing smoke as one of the officers stood in front of her.
Another woman was seen being helped by police into an ambulance and driven away. She appeared to be suffering from the effects of a substance.
Some locals have said the K2 problem in Brooklyn all stems from one place: Big Boy Deli near Broadway and Myrtle Avenue.
Police officers were stationed outside the notorious deli on Wednesday before raiding it late afternoon
Lindsay Foehrenbach, a resident of the neighborhood for the last 11 years, said she has been told everyone is aware the problem is stemming from the Deli.
‘I do think that the owners of this deli should be ashamed of themselves,’ she said.
‘They care less about the neighborhood that supports them and more about the almighty dollar.
‘They are willing to poison a population of already vulnerable people, let the fallout spill over the surrounding street and let everyone else clean up the mess while they profit.’
Locals said the deli is a frequent target of police raids, with the most recent taking place just last week.
K2 contains man-made chemicals that act on the same cell receptors in the brain that THC does in natural marijuana. It is dirt cheap, often sold for one to five dollars for a stick or package.
