"Spice" refers to a wide variety of
herbal mixtures that produce
experiences similar to marijuana
(cannabis) and that are marketed as
"safe," legal alternatives to that drug.


Spice users report experiences similar to those
produced by marijuana—elevated mood,
relaxation, and altered perception—and in
some cases the effects are even stronger than
those of marijuana.
The chemical composition of many products
sold as Spice is unknown, it is likely that some
varieties also contain substances that could
cause effects that the user wouldn't expect



Spice abusers who have been taken to Poison
Control Centers report symptoms that include
rapid heart rate, vomiting, agitation, confusion,
and hallucinations.
Regular users may experience withdrawal and
addiction symptoms.
One public health concern is that there may be
harmful heavy metal residues in Spice
mixtures.


Like with bath salts, people have also
reported dozens of episodes of violent
behavior in people on flakka.
At high doses, flakka may also cause the
body to reach high temperatures (bath salts
have been linked with the same symptom).
This excessive temperature can lead to
severe physical complications like kidney
damage and muscle breakdown.

I’m not going to make you give up anything

Write DRUG ADDICTION on your paper in
the number seven spot.
Now take anything off the board that would be
affected by the drug addiction and leave those

So what affects do drug addiction have on your
priorities and your lives?
Reflect under your Journal.
