Those who take this drug can be seen on the streets slowly staggering to nowhere, looking lost and incoherently mumbling to other people.

It is called fake weed because it often looks similar to weed and it has some of the chemicals similar to those found in marijuana. However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/bridgesofhope.com.ph\/index.php\/real-life-horrors-addiction\/\">horrific effects<\/a> of\u00a0this drug is different.<\/p>\n<p>Many manufacturers sell spice disguised as incense.\u00a0It is also marketed as natural and harmless, but the herbs are sprayed with all kinds of chemicals that bring about unpredictable, unpleasant, dangerous, and even fatal effects.<\/p>\n<h3>How Spice is Used<\/h3>\n<p>People use spice much like marijuana, and often they mix it with marijuana.\u00a0It is used by rolling it in paper or mixed with hot water like an herbal tea. Some are available as liquids, which are used in e-cigarettes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9DaPmO2jJ_o\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Effects of Spice<\/h3>\n<p>Users of this drug\u00a0experience extreme anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations. Some may also feel extremely relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>Since\u00a0the drug has just been around for a couple of years, not a lot of research has been done as to how it affects the brain. What research knows so far is it affects the brain much like marijuana. However, some chemicals in\u00a0it are stronger than the THC found in marijuana. Add this to the fact that\u00a0it may contain many other unidentified chemicals that change from manufacturer to manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>Other effects are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>rapid heart rate<\/li>\n<li>increased blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>nausea<\/li>\n<li>vomitting<\/li>\n<li>confusion<\/li>\n<li>violent behavior<\/li>\n<li>suicidal behavior<\/li>\n<li>heart attacks leading to death<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While spice may not be available (yet) in the Philippines, it still pays to be vigilant and to know that drugs really affect your brain and body in unpredictable yet still destructive ways.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you or someone you know is addicted to drugs, seek help.
