I went to a LAN once, and some of the weed smokers there had some Spice on them. They said they got it free because they spent over £15 on the website.

I was stunned to see the effects.

One dude, called Timmeh, well I caleld him Timmeh it was his forum name, and he was convinced that he was on a boat. He was sat out on a chair outside the hall we were in on one of those orange chairs.

He pulled a dude to sit on his lap and said "Grab an oar!" "Someone create him an oar!"
"Josh, if you don't row properly get out of my effing boat!"

It was hilarious.

Never touch weed or anything myself. Drug free! :D

Nothing like advertising something most people dont know anything about. I predict a huge rush to buy these legal Canabis like products.

I can't believe people haven't heard of this??? You can buy them on the bloody high-street! :lol:

I don't think they should ban it. Then again, I don't think cannabis should be banned either.

Of the two, I think there is likely to be more risk from the synthetic products. These synthetic products have only been made available because people can't smoke weed. So legalise weed and people won't take the risks with these synthetic drugs.

And I the article brings up a good point about the fact that it hasn't been proven to be harmful. The government should definitely spend a few years testing it before banning it, if they intend to ban it at all.

Just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. :roll:

Yet tramadol is perfectly legal...It's like 6 pints of beer in a tablet and takes away all the pain, but leaves me with a headache and unable to form sentences- so just like beer then!

Quote:
A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then, that is is the year 10191. The known universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam the Fourth, my father. In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is the spice Melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its navigators, who the spice has mutated over 4000 years, use the orange spice gas, which gives them the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of the universe without moving. Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you. The spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe. A desolate, dry planet with vast deserts. Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the Fremen, who have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true freedom. The planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune.

Mark Lamb did a show for BBC on it, was pretty interesting that some of it is advertised as carpet freshner and NFHC as it means it doesnt have to pass medical trials.... so it could have ANYTHING in it

Never heard of it, but then I don't really have any interest in illegal drugs either. Not that I think they should be illegal, they should be tightly controlled and sold in pharmacies. ;)
