Ex-spice addict warns people about the dangers of this 'zombie drug'

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:

Quote: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

Quote: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:

Quote: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:
