I think I’ll stick with the illegal drugs for a wh
First comes first, let me tell you, I am somewhat of an experienced drug user. I have experienced a myriad of drugs including: Cannabis (semi-regularly), DXM, Tramadol, Methadone, Alcohol, Xanax, Klonopin, Flexiril, Ambien, Diphenhydramine, Vicodin, Oxy, and several other Opiates & Benzos. I have always been a cautious recreational drug user, making sure that I will be safe throughout my trip experience and always know what mixes with what and what doesn't.

Anyways, back to the story. I have read online about synthetic cannabinoids circulating around America - which is considered a legal marijuana alternative and it's main component ( JWH-018 ) has been rumored to produce VERY similar effects to some semi high-grade chronic. Legal weed? I had to try it! So, I grabbed a couple bucks from my stash and rode my bike to the local headshop. Walking in, I noticed several brand names: Khronic, Paranoia, Killa, Poison, all in about 1.5 gram transparent jars. I bought 'Paranoia', one of the more expensive blends for about $14. Reading the container it says "Paranoia: Not fit for human consumption," and under that it says "Contains JWH-018 (and several other cannabinoids in which I can't remember at this time)."

When I got home I grabbed a Pringles can and proceeded to poke a hole in it and create your standard ghetto steamroller. I had read that it only takes about two hits to feel the effects (being a heavy chronic smoker I was very skeptical about how much I should actually induce). I proceeded to put my lighter to the bowl and take two VERY large hits and held it in as long as I could. The smoke smelled like it would if you burnt green tea, very herbal. The taste was somewhat harsh and was hard to hold in. A way to describe is less than Cigar smoke and more than weed smoke in terms of harshness. Last hit, I blew the smoke out and felt very lightheaded. Unlike weed, this come-up was in an instance and the high continued to increase. It felt almost exactly like some chronic!

I was very giggly, and had that hazy feeling that I usually get with weed. Yet ...it felt very different, very *fake* is the best way I could describe it. It felt as if something was missing and I didn't have that usual cinnamon roll cramming down my gullet feeling I usually get with weed. It wasn't bad, not bad at all. Then, something happened... I couldn't tell exactly what it was. My thoughts were racing and I felt a VERY heavy pressure on both of his kidneys as if a heavy set male was standing on them - it wasn't painful, but it was terrifying. I had anxiety and what do you know, I also felt paranoia... I guess the brand name for the blend suites itself well...

My high was steadily increasing and increasing and I started talking to myself, the impending feeling of doom crept upon me quickly and I just felt terrible, I felt sickly. If this is what death feels like, it feels very real, and very scary! I was pacing around my bedroom stretching my body and telling myself that I'll be okay and if I live through this I will NEVER touch drugs again. This was not a high, this was a tragedy. My eyesight was dulling, my hearing was off, my balance was distorted - and oh, that pressure in my kidneys increased and increased. I looked in the mirror and my eyes were fire-truck red and eyes were droopy. I couldn't help but drink lots and lots of water and splash it in my face, maybe something as pure as water would get me away from this hell and maybe I will come down. That was not the case at ALL, this deathly feeling persisted and tore me apart from the inside. I was a fucking prisoner in my own body. I actually thought I might have a heart attack because my breathing was manual and my blood-pressure was insanely high.

This repeated for the next hour and a half and I started to come down, I took precautions with spice; maybe I overdosed? I didn't vomit at all during the experience, but the feeling of hell washed over me during the entire time. I took two hits and felt like dying... Synthetic cannabis is not to be fucked with on a day to day basis and should be taken in a very mild and very safe manner. If you don't feel it please DO NOT increase the dosage. Wait about twenty to see if it hits you. If it doesn't, should you increase your intake and ONLY then. JWH-018 and other cannabinoids are made by scientists synthetically and in no way are natural, they are a research chemical and very little is known about them and their toxicity. Overdose is a very real thing with spice so be cautious and heed my warning. Me, myself, will not be doing spice again and dumped the rest of it in the toilet, where it belongs. The container is cool though, I'll put something that really belongs in there, some real nice, NATURAL bud :). I can't help wondering why something this dangerous is legal and marijuana is not?

Has anyone else experienced a disaster with spice and synthetic cannabinoids? If so, please share, and thanks for reading. Take care if you're smoking spice; shit gets real, real fast.

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for that. How much did you smoke? Spice is a research chemical, there's little that is known, but that doesn't sound good. My best answer would be to not use it ever again and if it continues go see a doctor and explain everything. Another cause of something like that to happen is if you mixed the chemical with some other drug. Did you drink alcohol after use?
 
I smoked 3g in 5 days ,I think I had put higher quantity in the joints like weed ..but now its over a week and I still have that ringing ,I will never use it again, I want to sue the shop I got it from..I am in hell right now .cant sleep cant study ,and it's all my fault..I want to kill myself ,doctors can not do anything for me...thanks for reply
 
Welcome to Bluelight, Carnitine.

I am going to insist that you remove all the 'swims' out of your thread.
 
UPDATE: This is day two, the experience was yesterday morning. I still feel a little off, my stomach has a strange tingly feeling to it and the pressure in my back is persistent. I smoked a cigarette, that only made it worse. I have some slightly heavy breathing sometimes... Spice is a no-no. Never do this shit, seriously, go find some bud - I know it being legal is tempting but don't make the same mistake I did. Fuck Spice. Fuck Spice. Fuck Spice. Seriously I can't say it enough.
 
I must be an oddity, I love the extreme rush of the spice blends; I did nearly get screwed with one though, turned out to contain AM-2201 plus MDPV. All I can say is OMGWTFBBQ. Not even gonna say I didn't enjoy it a tad though.
 
dont worry kids you will return to baseline eventually. for me it took 2-3 weeks to fully return to baseline.
