   SAN DIEGO   
   Authorities say 16 people have been sickened in downtown San   
   Diego after taking the synthetic marijuana drug spice.   
      
   The San Diego Union-Tribune (http://bit.ly/1HxK3u4 ) says fire   
   officials treated the patients during numerous calls Saturday.   
      
   Fire spokesman Lee Swanson says the patients, mostly in their   
   late teens to early 20s, had symptoms ranging from nausea and   
   fast heartbeats to breathing difficulties and even   
   unconsciousness.   
      
   Eleven of the 16 were taken to hospitals, three in serious   
   condition, but Swanson says none of the problems were life-   
   threatening.   
      
   Police are trying to discover the source of the spice.   
      
   It's the second weekend in a row that the drug has caused   
   multiple overdoses downtown. More than a dozen people —   
   including a 13-year-old — were treated on Nov. 22.
