    Anyone any experience with this?
    Partner hospitalised as a result of four drags where he mistook it for weed.
    Almost died but someone recognised what was happening.
    He is absolutely petrified still today.
    What happened him sounds horrific.
    If you have teenagers tell them to YouTube spice attacks.
    Scary drug.

    Is this like those "eat a spoon of cinammon" challenges?

    I did that, and it was rough on my nose for at least five minutes.

    It used to be handy during dope droughts but god the taste was bloody awful. Honeybee is probably the best of that lot, it actually smelt quite like weed too.

    It almost killed my partner last night.
    Worth educating yourself on as it looks like weed.
    Hallucinations basically.
    Then quite catastrophic effects on heart rate.
    Am in UK so hopefully not prevalent elsewhere.
    If you look at the videos on YouTube you will see what happens

    So three drags should be ok OP?

    Whatever will those kids think of next!

    A formerly legal high. Benign dried plant material sprayed with unknown chemical compounds and used as a cannabis alternative. Horrible stuff. Some people can react very badly to it. In all likelyhood he will be OK in a few days. Lesson learned.

    Also be aware of Cake.
    What is cake? Well, it has an active ingredient which is a dangerous psychoactive compound known as "dimesmeric andersonphospate". It stimulates the part of the brain called "Shatner's bassoon", and that's the bit of the brain that deals with time perception. So a second feels like a month. Well, it almost sounds like fun, unless you're the Prague schoolboy who walked out into the street, straight in front of a tram. He thought he'd got a month to cross the street...

    He is still petrified and in shock. He basically found a packet of tobacco on the ground and thought his luck was in cos it had weed. Ex spice user randomer recognised symptoms and called ambulance. He had two episodes.
    He was terrified.
    On plus side hospital have picked up on a possible heart irregularity.

    So what you're saying is, don't injest sh*t you find on the ground and don't know where it came from?

    Thanks for the heads up. I definitely won't do it now. Phew.

    There's a bit of a brain irregularity there too if he smokes what he finds on the ground.

    Ooh look at this box tied to the lamppost with a picture of a dog on it, there must be bags of Twiglets in it!!

    Three second rule applies for things found on the ground. It was obviously there more than 3 seconds.

    Sorry but your partner found something on the ground and smoked it?????
    Your partner needs to be told not to go smoking strange things they find on the ground.

    Lol.

    If you keep leaving some on the ground for him to find I am sure he'll start again.

    But what if we find it on the ground and think it's weed?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man

    Na, the lesson is when your kid asks you why is it called dope, point them to this thread.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,160 ✭✭✭Felix Jones is God


    Seems whatever he smokes has an ability to kill him, lesson being, tell him put nothing in his mouth anymore

    Do you mean Tabasco?

    I dunno. Smoke it to establish its substance?

    Smoking things you find on the ground. Sure what could possibly go wrong?

    Hope he gets well soon.

    Aside from the fact it was spice and not weed however, I don't think it's the best idea to be smoking up and old stuff you find on the street.

    OK, Im calling shenanigans on the OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,735 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    Well I know for a fact that it definitely doesn't smell like weed, so yer buddy should have some cop on there. I'm daft myself sometimes but I only did smoke it in tiny single skinners and long breaks in between. Stick to the prohibited proper stuff.

    He said that everything started going in slow motion. Then the guy saw what was happening and he had to touch him to know he was real while he was talking to him. He was screaming for help and crying like a baby. His words. Then everything sped up and people were running past him. He could hear the music playing in reverse. Not sure how to imagine that but anyway!. He came out of it temporarily but other guy told him he would have another one. He didn't believe him and tried to get home. Then it hit him again . Ambulance found him and after stabilizing him told him he very nearly croaked it.

    I'm neither a saint nor an evangelist but I was not aware of this drug. It's an informative post nothing else. I still have no idea whether there will be longer term effects
