A teenage girl suffered a series of strokes that left her brain damaged and paralyzed after smoking “synthetic marijuana” that she bought from a gas station.

Emily Bauer, 17, has also been unable to see since December when she smoked the “fake weed” with friends - prompting her family to launch a campaign to ban the substance.

At first, Emily, from Cypress, Texas, thought she had a migraine and decided to lie down. But she then suffered the strokes, which put her into a psychotic-like state, according to CNN.

She urinated on herself, hallucinated, ran into walls and became violent.
