Berlin - Germany has banned the cannabis-like drug Spice because of its potential danger to health, an announcement by the ministry of health said Wednesday. Manufacturing, possession and dealing in the drug will be a criminal offence from Thursday, the statement said. Spice has enjoyed growing popularity among young people in Germany where it has been sold as a natural herbal mixture, thus circumventing anti-drug laws. But tests showed it contained the potentially harmful chemical called CP-47, 497, which has the same effects as the natural psychoactive substance in cannabis, but is up to four times stronger. "Spice is not harmless and needs to be withdrawn from circulation quickly," said Health Minister Ulla Schmidt. Drug Commissioner Sabine Baetzing said it had been proven that the manufacturers of Spice had laced the natural herbs with a synthetic narcotic drug. "Selling Spice as a harmless smoking fragrance is fraudulent," she said. Tests have shown that smoking the drug can cause hallucinations and lead to undesirable side affects such as panic attacks and nausea. The ban, which carries a fine for those who ignore it, will remain in force for 12 months until a more permanent law is introduced.

meahhh, I think I would still rather just smoke weed anyway.

 

fuck Germany.. what do they know.. they love David Hasselhoff

 

go ahead and ban it, i don't give a shit. why would i need it if i've got plenty of dank nugs to smoke? plus even if i do want to try it sometime, banning it isn't going to make it any harder to get a hold of...

 

awesome guy...







... lol

 

I did not know that David was hung like a puppy. Wow, all wrinkled and everything.

 

he's not hung like this hmong.. lol

 

hahaha ^ im downloadin that movie

 

I think I would have to poke out my minds eye if I saw that movie.

 

Thats shitty for the germans who like spice

 

So how long till Dr. Phil has a show saying how incredibly horrible and deadly this "New Craze" is and that its already illegal in other countries which gets the ball rolling on a law?

Or better yet someone smokes some spice gets in a car wreck and is told it's okay they can blame spice and have no fault because they were "tricked" into thinking it was okay. Then a political figure will try and pull the "I'm helping your kids" adopt the story and try to make it a law banning it?

Oh and to keep this thread on topic:

 

lol oh come on.. its a fuckin funny movie.. and you can watch it dubbed in english.. so the voice actors sounds ridiculous sometimes

 

spice is an illegal narcotic in the star wars universe

Don't duck with the Hoff

 

Oops, I meant that last post to be more explicit.

Damn blackberry T9 input format, and its prejudice against foul words...

 

I doubt the Germans are crying over it too much... In Berlin/Hamburg etc most of the 'alternative' cafes, bars, squats, clubs etc usually allow open weed smoking, despite there being a smoking ban (they usually let you smoke cigs too, even put ashtrays on the tables though it's 'illegal').. Spice is meh anyway..

 

Does anyone really like it though? I smoked it while on probation and that shit just isnt good.

 

I was on probo for the past year. It definetly did the trick for me.

Now, you may have had the original spice. It isnt so strong. Spice gold is up there with some decent bud, and lasts for a good 6 to 8 hours. Spice diamond is even stronger, and lasts just as long but with a different type of high.

Spice is nice and all, but what i really enjoyed and what really got me through was chillin xxx and anything else of the sort. One hit, you're knocked on your ass. I'm guessing its the same RCs except a little more of certain ones here and there.

I'm kind of glad i came across this thread, i always suspected that spice and such were simply RCs added into these blends, i just had no evidence to prove so. Even better, now i know what the chemicals are specifically.

I was smoking it ever day a few times a day for months, i never noticed any negative side effects exept for being so stoned off of spice diamond and gold that i just wanted to pass out four hours after every time i smoked it. Very couchlock.

 

It's going to make it a lot harder to get a hold of. You said yourself you'd stick with dank nugs, and I'm sure most smokers would agree, so why would a dealer bother stocking it?
