We're talking about 2 different drugs. I'm speaking of herbal incense.

Please don't smoke spice. I've seen bad things happen because of it. If you can, smoke real marijuana.

yeah, the incense shit it pretty bad. they're finding that some of the chemicals that are used to make it can damage organs, and cause liver failure.
i read about one girl who smoked a brand i think called wicked or something and her blood pressure went very low and the blood vessels in her brain constricted and so parts of her brain started to not receive enough oxygen and she was acting very drunk and stumbling down and acting all strokey i guess, and it went of for a long time and the next day she was worse i guess (i'll look for the artice) and they took her to the hospital.
i think now she's back to eating solid foods and they think she may walk again!
anyway, she was like 16.

I believe that can happen from smoking anything.

but it was specifically synthetic marijuana though.
also many people smoke cigarettes without having strokes and brain damage within 15 minutes. maybe after 30 years of smoking, but not 15 minutes.
it's the chemical synthetics, there are tons of compounds and no one really knows exactly how bad they can hurt people, but they do know that people have suffered strokes, seizures, kidney failure and death.
there's no telling if the spice you buy today will be the same formula they use in 2 weeks. at least with weed, it's weed, and not research chemicals with very little data on their effects.

But how many smoke cigarettes who do have strokes, and how many smoke spice who don't have strokes?

what are you trying to answer with a question like that? Are you trying to dismiss the evidence collected by doctors about the dangers of smoking synthetic weed by saying other things can make you die too?
well, hell, then let's all go shoot up crokodil and smoke meth, cause hey, other things can make your skin fall off and damage your brain.
no, you go smoke as much as you like. they're finding it's addictive potential to be much higher than weed.
it's like weed crack. you enjoy.

The stuff I smoke is safer than most brands out there. I've overdosed and tripped out and everything before. I'm not afraid of what harm I'm doing to my body from it, though.
I can't smoke it anymore. It's too expensive, no dealers, and it's illegal. I'll stick with spice for the time being. It's just temporary.

Why do you feel that you require a drug of some kind?

@393,500 (A) > The stuff I smoke is safer than most brands out there. > the stuff I smoke I have no idea what chemicals are in it, but i can't see any damage to my body, so i assume it's safe. I actually haven't had it lab tested or anything, so there's no telling what chemicals are present, but, chemicals can't be that bad for you.
