I'm not saying you're wrong, but that article is just typical fear mongering BS. It keeps the eyes of parents glued to the screen and consuming ads. Doesn't even say what "spice" is. Articles like this are basically broiler-llate and come out every few months. Notice how they manage to blame social media, and how they don't mention any adults using it at all.

I found the wikipedia article on these things more useful and less biased. Spice seems to mostly refer to a designer drug that is similar to THC, but is not THC. And while it is often used to lace marijuana or mixed with weed vapes, it isn't just weed.

It's like hearing about people adding PCP or LSD to weed and freaking out about how dangerous weed is. Like... Yeah you shouldn't buy drugs from some random guy on Snapchat.

Yeah. Spice/synthetic full cannabinoid receptor agonists are honestly terrifying and have such dramatically different effects from legit cannabis.
