Dubai - The Hard Lives of Britain's Synthetic Marijuana Addicts
Gebäude | Informationen | Videos | Emirates | Aussicht
Legal highs are set to be outlawed by the British government in response to a growing number of news reports about students overdosing on the synthetic drugs after using them recreationally. On the eve of the ban, VICE travelled to Manchester to meet some more vulnerable users who have become addicted to these over-the-counter substances and discovered that solving the problem won't be as simple as making legal highs illegal.

5:30 that's awful feel sorry for him

This guy on here is properly acting up for the cameras...Spice is a nasty chemically low life person's drug and has seriously deleterious effects but he was hamming it up to look the big man; obviously doesn't realise he looks an utter cunt.
Zero sympathy -
been there. i didn't know it was addictive till it was to late, thought it was a wonder drug as it stopped me doing as much heroin and alcohol. the only thing that i found to help was valium (diazepam). find the dose that holds you then reduce to nothing over a week, still felt shit for a while and had the odd couple of days when the full blown rattle came back (rebound withdrawals) but you just have to ride them out. hope this info is helpful.

What the fuck, UK law makers? What the fuck are they thinking?

I've been smoking this shit for 5 years now... 10-15gs daily... I wished I never touched it, I wished my body chemistry would reject it the first time I smoked it... I wished I never embraced the devil's high... I wished...
I've tried coming off time and time again only to relapse in the end. The withdrawals are the worse. And yes it is comparable to heroin or not worse because you never know what's inside with every new batch. From JWH-10 known as K2 back in the 2009s to newly synthesized chemicals so as to avoid urine detection, to having this drug mixed with mephedrone, BZP and now FUBINACA and God knows what the fuck else.
The pukes, the sleepless nights, the anxiety, the spasms, cold and hot flashes, sweating through your sheets every fucking minute, loss of appetite how every fucking food tastes like cardboard or not worse, the intense cravings, depression, suicidal thoughts, defecating on my kitchen floor cause I never made it to the toilet, you name it. This is the Devil's incense. It got so bad I almost died from hyperthermia...
Whoever who's taking their time to read this long ass essay, I just want you to know that you're not alone. I can relate to every heartfelt word you've ever cried, every tear you shed... I'd turned my room upside down, I'd resmoke my roaches till I could literally taste dem filters in my lungs, searched every corner just for a speck of spice, I know the struggle believe me...
Rock bottom became my foundation to getting sober. Take the first step, seek help, find ways to detox. Watch some comedy, light-hearted stuff, go for a run, ride a bike, read your favourite book, heck I'd masturbate even if it derives no pleasure from doing it, the list goes on. The key is to let time fly.
From where I come from, CBD oil is impossible to get and I'd never want to resort to benzos or any other form of prescription drugs because I know my body all too well I'll prolly exchange one addiction for another. All I had was sage tea to curb the sweats, melatonin to aid my sleep, music and a fuckload of motivation.
Remember, you are the most important person in your recovery.
One day at a time,
It'll only get better.
Sober since 28 Dec 2016 -
Just to be clear, Spice is not 'Synthetic Cannabis', the chemicals in Spice are not THC. To compare this shit to cannabis is just ridiculous. The effects of Spice do not mimic the effects of cannabis.

I had pandora that was the worst experience of my life I even whitie on that shit
-
I hope someone in Britain reads this; in Oklahoma we have a law that make it illegal to sell or consume any substance that mimics the effects of an already illegal substance, so that chemical restructuring bull crap doesnt fly here, the Police hit the stores selling the spice all the time in Oklahoma, and I presume all over the U.S. Also, if the manufacturer of the drugs places a label saying not fit for human consumption that alone would be a violation, Britain could combat it that way too by making it illegal to consume things marked not fit for human consumption.

What a total fake fuck guy in white top l

It suprises me that people are so suprised that the legality of a drug affects how addictive and damaging it is. The sole reason any drugs are legal (other than alcohol and tobacco) is that the particular chemical makeup hasn't been banned yet. Legal highs are way more dangerous because they are newer so there isn't a track record of the effects, and they can put literally anything in them.
That said, making drugs illegal is the wrong approach and I personally think drugs should be made legal, controlled and the negative effects should be treated as a health issue not a criminal one. -
Demi Moore is the poster girl for this crap.

Drugs legislation alone caused this epidemic. I have suffered myself as a result and can honestly blame no one but the law

Use synthetic cannabinoids if you like. It can be used safely. But you must be careful. When we're talking about substances that are active on a MICROGRAM level, even a so called "normal toke" can really fuck you up. If you use this stuff, which is your choice and you shouldn't be judged for, be careful people. Start low, go slow.
