Spice Has Turned the Streets of Manchester into the Walking Dead | MJ NEWS UK

Subscribe to the MERRY JANE Newsletter for the latest video releases and everything cannabis: goo.gl/Yc7jSN
It has many names - Black Mamba, Bliss, Bombay Blue, Fake Weed, Genie, K2, Moon Rocks, Skunk, Yucatan Fire, and Zohai - but whatever you call it, Spice is not nice. A synthetic drug made from shredded herbs and laboratory-made chemicals intended to mimic the effects of THC, Spice was originally marketed almost a decade ago as a stronger, cheaper, and legal alternative to cannabis. The reality is that it’s incredibly dangerous and in no way comparable to the healing plant.
Now known to cause a physical and mental shutdown in users, Spice holds appeal for people looking to completely escape reality. In the UK, it has become popular among the homeless and prison inmates, whom it transforms into zombie-like versions of themselves. To explore the Spice crisis in working-class Manchester, MJ News correspondent Adam Capper hit the streets and spoke to professionals seeking to stem the tide of addiction as well as users who’ve experienced the devastating effects of the drug firsthand.

[@TinyTalesBookClub]

Red Knight I think there is a lot of confusion with what is being reported and what certain areas call spice. In certain areas, spice refers to a synthetic cannabis which I agree, it's not cannabis. It is however in those areas, a synthetic cannabis, which means it is suppose to mimic cannabis and is molecularly similar to THC however it is not actually thc. There are areas which sell, "spice" but it's actually a completely different synthetic with a completely different high.

[@tedmetta3021]

I was smoking it for a few months, a few years ago. It was dirt cheap, think £10 for 1g. Which sounds about the same as cannibis here but it was so powerful I would just need the tiniest bit in cigarette to feel like 1 normal/heavy joint. I'd put so little in that if it was weed you wouldn't even feel it. Roll more than that and the stuff turns you hot and cold, pale then you hit the deck. Rolling a joint of that like it's normal green is lethal. I too noticed some negative effects to my mental health and seemed somewhat addicting.

[@jamiee1519]

Not sure if legal weed would prevent the use of this. I smoke dispensary weed pretty much daily (and have been smoking for almost 35 years) and have never experienced the effects spice provides. Someone seeking the sort of disconnect a spice high can give you will need more than the strongest indica. Just like legal heroin wouldn't turn everyone into junkies, legal weed won't turn junkies into potheads. If you took weed away tomorrow, I wouldn't start drinking. These people have problems that were there long before they started smoking spice. Take away spice, they'll sniff glue or solvents. Sometimes I think the most complete solution is to lock them up in some encampment and give them all the drugs they want. It would be nice to think you can help and save all these junkies but you'd be more effective trying to push back waves at the beach.

I'm really interested in the precise physiological effects of this stuff. I tried it two times back in my stupider days and the effects really are similar to thc just thousands of times more potent.

GARY171064 why is it? Short of paying the taxes they are supposed to, what else are they supposed to do? And yes the rich avoid paying as much as possible but government shudnt make it so easy to do so. Football clubs do a lot for the youth in their areas anyway and donate a fair bit to charity too but the services these homeless spice heads need are provided by the NHS and local authorities. If they are underfunded, (and they are) that's bad, but the tax system is how these clubs and big companies contribute to those things. That and creating jobs in the local area. So many ppl are employed directly or indirectly by these clubs. Not just players, coaches etc but physiotherapists, sports psychologists, stewards who work the stadiums on match days, cleaners, caterers, ppl in the official club shops and the stimulus to the local economy. I understand the juxtaposition of such wealth and poverty is hard to stomach but it's really not up to the rich to deal with homelessness spice heads.

Say ‘Space Ghetto” in an American accent......it sounds like Spice Girl in a Scottish accent

[@spiritualdisciple8153]

Loooool

[@thelightrevealstheplace6361]

Chris Penny Very good. 😊

[@carlgoring2330]

[@laurengraham7369]

It dosent just affect the takers it affects the people who inhale the fumes i had a friend who smoked it was was totally unaware and the fumes made me so ill ive never been that ill in my whole life

[@Technauts]

I didn't know this was still a thing. We used to smoke this stuff back around 2008-2010 but i thought it got shut down pretty hard not long after that.

[@michellesara6728]

Travis Rabble I'm not a frail woman so why would you want to beat me up?

[@aprilsangels652]

Travis Rabble not too ugly toget knocked up!

[@addisonyoungg8052]

God, I remember when this stuff was legal for a while in the US back in 2012 it was an unbelievably destructive substance 🤭

[@nolanolivier6791]

If there isn't a better argument for the full legalisation, regulation and open sale of cannabis... I haven't heard it.

[@walkingnarrow8574]

How sad it is to watch everyone walking around their fellow man lying in the street, and slumped over benches.

[@javsuperstar8833]

Blame the government, same as gambling problems,

[@sealdogg8325]

Simple solution decriminalize marijuana problem solved !!!Who would smoke k2 if they could walk around the block n grab some o.g. kush or get some wax n go home n rip a dab

[@thelightrevealstheplace6361]

Seal Dogg Marijuana creates very slothful and lazy people.

[@poepflater]

The results of prohibition have simply been an ever-growing number of drugs to evade laws every time new laws are made.

[@jussie6744]

It’s crazy… some people refer to it as a zombie like drug

[@bretdouglas9407]

The dark ages

[@Mr3jj3]

Ah the spice boys

[@badzillacr1509]

silv3r s. 😂😂😂

[@MinshullFamilyArchive]

I went to see a singer and a comedian in Manchester and fell into a coma. Apparently, variety is the spice of life.

[@sarahfields288]

That old lady watching that bloke lol

[@chrisevans6974]

I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want....spice.

[@jessicaroberts2282]

Chris Evans lol 😂

[@t8r507]

[@Rswipes83]

[@timorichter9277]

Thank God for this video the world needs too see this. Frankfurt Germany is the same. Heartbreaking think about this. This people could be you're kids

[@wozzer3wa]

Where do they get the money to buy it

[@albertkurth330]

But Frank Herbert said that Spice extends life?!

[@ottawadigs]

legalize cannabis, problem solved

[@gaggle57]

funny thing, my ex used to pick up a brand of spice called "Black Mamba (JWH-016) for me at the local headshop, thinking it was a safe alternative to weed. You only needed a couple tokes, so I imagine these folks smoked the whole J.

[@siliquaesid703]

Main area of use is Coop Bank, 1 Balloon Street, that place is full of Zombies these days.

[@kieranshilston8466]

Am I the only person noticing all these people walking past and looking down on the people in the streets?! Not stopping to help, not an ounce of concern. Horrible. Maybe a lot of people are self destructive, but that doesn't mean we can't help. Today's society stinks.

[@spencerhardy8667]

Those people are probably only just keeping themselves and their own families above the water. Sometimes you've got to leave the wounded whilst the battles on.

[@TheEconomicElder]

What would you have them do? Give them a hug? No one is forcing them to the streets they do that all by them self's.

[@mikejohn0088]

Ya--take a few home

[@burymedeep-be7dm]

Kieran Shilston unless youve been a drug addict and around those people. Take my advice stay away from them. Let the dead lie cause they gone already

[@timbuckto1329]

Kieran Shilston .... Didn't see you no place helping

[@nw8000]

Just dont do drugs SIMPLES ;-)

[@CelticG]

nw8000 drugs are great!

[@nw8000]

Waz wait until you have had one to many. Then get back to me

[@CelticG]

nw8000 I’ve taken more drugs then you can name and I’m just fine! Use never abuse! Majority of people take drugs mate. These people are just from broken homes, care homes, weak minded, abused and very susceptible to addiction..

[@nw8000]

Waz Its not for everyone its certainly not me

[@CelticG]

nw8000 that’s fair enough mate!

[@anneshields2010]

We have it in Glasgow they can be entertaining at times but you can’t help but worry

[@DelasVC]

what's the song in the background?

[@djdigital3806]

"Merry Jane"🎼 Smoke real weed.😉

[@MiddleagedRasta]

me love di ganja!! ✌🏾🥬

[@joegaragozzo1640]

Legalize and control MJ. We are doing it in Canada. I have never EVER heard of spice. Sounds like a nightmare. What is the worst case scenario if you smoke good natural weed? Eat chips...get leazy...laugh at every stupid joke...maybe a little paranoia while ur friends laugh at you. Legalize it and let's stop this insanity.

[@christinabridge3385]

Mate I was talking to a young homeless guy who has been on the streets of London. The guys taking spice, collapsed, ambulances came took them away never to be seen again, they have laced the spice with the c...d v....ne

[@tonyeezi7315]

There will always be the weak-minded and there will always be those who exploit them. Most of us fit into one or the other, or even both, we're just at a different level to these people.

[@mcshane05]

Can't be compared to heroin..heroin doesn't do that to you.

[@joymcguinness3035]

mcshane05 worse than heroin.

[@jofeeneymason5691]

It's simular in that the withdrawals are bad

[@martinamoroney7164]

Jo Feeney/Mason yes u r right I spoke to a lady on spice and she said the withdrawal is 10 times stronger and worser and there is no substitute like there is woth the gear like subby or methadone it's terrible uo our town centre in Brum there's hundreds of them some are passed out in road n some are chewing their shoes!?? Madness man...

[@SkankHunt-my7yo]

mcshane05, One of my cellies in prison was on spice and he was a former heroin user. He even said spice is way worse.

[@Marco50774]

You kidding me.

[@ivanasukyakok5133]

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE! Aaaaahhh....

[@ericfelder2282]

I never heard of spice and what I don't understand is, what kind of wicked mind would create such a Drug, and why is All the Governments of the world is allowing this.

[@nomerite]

I was in Manchester 2 weeks ago for a week. I never once saw anyone spiced out.

[@HTID759]

They ain’t really walking tho are they

[@Catobergcontent]

And not dead

[@talon1706]

Anyone who gets addicted to these kinds of drugs deserve what ever they get. Just say NO! I like my weed. It will be legal in Canada this summer.

[@dreadpirateblackfoot4300]

Hans Schtuk think about people who lace drugs and young people who are not the brightest. for a lot of people this is a victim drug not because they were looking for it.

[@tightenyochain856grom6]

Fuck legalization

[@myce-liam]

Hans Schtuk you forget that some people take drugs to self medicate. Self medication isn't the way forward, however people do it when they can't get the help they need. Problem is that people get short term relief from their mental health problems and before they know it, boom they're addicted!

[@MrB1923]

The simplistic view of a child.

[@jamesmorris911]

Such a douche...

[@onfin3al6]

In Gensan at the bus depot you can see the young kids flock to a guy selling drugs . This shit happens all over .

[@zero932905]

Seven hells...ive been putting this shit on my spaghetti this whole time..
