Green MPs help man hit by synthetic cannabis seizure

A group of Green Party members including James Shaw and Julie Anne Genter helped a homeless man in Auckland having a synthetic cannabis seizure last week. The group were leaving a dinner and saw the man writhing on the ground. ‘‘One of our party called an ambulance but while we were waiting for it to come he rolled out onto the street. We stood around him to make sure cars didn’t hit him,’’ Genter said. Synthetic cannabis killed up to seven people in Auckland over the last month.
