Calls to treat patients who've taken the drug Black Mamba are putting emergency services under extreme pressure, says West Midlands Ambulance Service.
On average, figures show its paramedics are called out between 80 and 100 times a week to cases involving the drug.
Black Mamba is a psychoactive substance that looks like cannabis but is cheaper and more potent. It mimics the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive chemical in cannabis.
Paramedic Neil Howkins said crews could really only take people under the influence of the drug to hospital where "hopefully they'll recover".
"It is a drain on our resource because primarily we're not really there for that."
