Hey guys,
I live in a city in the Northeastern US right now where I literally can't go a night without hearing somebody scream like they're going super saiyan, and act like they've got clinical lycanthropy after smoking sketchy joints laced with synthetic cannabinoids. It almost exclusively affects the homeless population, and while some of these incidents have been jovial, such as watching a man savagely beat a "No Parking" sign using a child sized bike as his weapon of choice, to the man who delusionally broke the window over my head as I slept one night.
I bought and tried some of this shit and it's wicked powerful but I suspect that what's causing this issue is the confluence of hitting a spice hotspot along with poor mental health due to homelessness.
Last night I was walking my boyfriend home from work, a distance of just single block, and we were warned not to leave the building because of a "spice zombie" who had been repeatedly shrieking nonsense, undressing and redressing, performing this odd hunched dance and stumbling/falling all over the street and sidewalk, circling the building we were in (bf's place of work). I've interfaced with these people long enough to know that they don't really know what's going on around them and for the most part aren't a threat, but I'm posting this to ask if anybody else, whether in the northeastern US or not, has noticed a huge spike in spice usage over the past few years and the issues that are associated with it?
Edit: I just realized that this may belong in the Other Drugs forum instead of the Cannabis forum, my apologies if that's the case.
