I first heard about spice when I was in the ninth grade. One of the upper classman was on probation and has stopped smoking weed. Since he was THE man on campus to get drugs from - everyone shifted to spice just because he did. I was never a really big party person but I did attend a few of the weekend get togethers and smoked spice a few times before becoming a heavy user in my senior year of high school. I guess the good thing that I can say is that I never had a bad experience with spice. I never freaked out or thought that I needed to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for some of my friends.
In our main group there were six of us and by the end of our high school career only two of us graduated. I absolutely believe that our friends dropped out because of our dependency on spice. When people ask is spice dangerous? The answer is yes - just like everything else. And the people that are at the most risk of becoming heavily addicted to the easily available herbal incense, are the people that have addictive personalities and are looking for way out anyway. In the spring of my last year of high school the only girl in our group was hospitalized for kidney failure and spice was the reason for it. I really wish that I could go back and make different decisions. I wish that none of us had allowed spice to take over our lives - hell, I wish I could move to California and get some medical weed to help me out - at least that way I would not feel the need to inhale these legal chemicals that are killing me.
