EX-SPICE ADDICT WARNS PEOPLE ABOUT THIS 'ZOMBIE DRUG'

[ReedeFox]

An ex spice addict has decided to speak out about his experience with the drug in the hope that he can prevent other people from making the same mistakes as him.



Matthew Nuttall, first began smoking the synthetic marijuana when he was just a teen and thought "how bad could it be?".



Matthew was homeless at the time and thought he found a drug that could make his days more bearable but he was wrong. He soon became addicted and his life began to spiral even more out of control. He says:

My mates were doing it so I just thought I would do it. It was legal so I didn’t think it would be that bad.
The first time, I can’t even explain what it was like. It just blew my head off. I thought ‘never again’. It’s just such a heavy high. It’s so intense.
The first high lasted about one hour but it really felt a lot longer. It’s like you’re there but you can’t communicate.

Despite Matthew saying 'never again', he just couldn't keep away from spice

A gram wouldn’t last that long. I used to go to sleep smoking Spice, wake up, smoke some more and go to sleep again. I was too high to remember what was happening.
I stopped taking it about three months before the ban. I just went completely cold turkey but people were still doing it around me.

People have compared the intense high of spice to being like a zombie. Matthew says:

You just feel brain dead half the time. They say people look like zombies and that’s how it feels.

It’s pretty nuts to think that synthetic marijuana can cause such destruction. Currently, it's sweeping the nation like a plague due to it being cheap and easy to hide from police. Luckily Matthew has managed to find a new home and has ambitions to go into higher education, but there are still thousands of people addicted to spice. If Matthews story hasn't put you off smoking that shit then this video surely will:

See, while i applaud Matthew having the resolve and the strength to kick 'Spice' and i would never touch the stuff (or any high, legal or ojtherwise), saw an aricticle on a news broadcast the other day which showed some individuals who were under the drugs effects..and i couldnt help but burst out laughing. I have heard that some individuals get quite violent having taken this drug, and thats certyainly no laughing matter. That said, the sight of grown men seemingly passed out hugging lamposts and one guy hunched over his push bike looking as though he had passed out while attempting to unlock it..i couldnt help but laugh.
