"Zombie" Outbreak Caused by the Synthetic Cannabinoid AMB-FUBINACA in New York
NEJM 376-235-242, Adams, A.J.,et al, 2017
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The potency of the synthetic cannabinoid identified in these analyses is consistent with strong depressant effects that account for the �zombielike� behavior reported in this mass intoxication. AMB-FUBINACA is an example of the emerging class of �ultrapotent� synthetic cannabinoids and poses a public health concern. Collaboration among clinical laboratory staff, health professionals, and law enforcement agencies facilitated the timely identification of the compound and allowed health authorities to take appropriate action.
