I was just wondering if any of you have tried that Spice Gold stuff yet? I just bought some there in a head shop this morning. I was there to pick up something else and I just bought a couple of little 0.4g bags with my change. I'm not really into herbal smoking mixtures cause 99% of them I've ever tried have been complete shit but I figured I'd been hearing good things about this so i bought some. I just smoked a joint there about 20 mins ago and man i couldn't be more impressed if I seen a tortoise run down a cheatah and ass rape it to the backing music of Kings of Leon - On Call. It is by far the best of any smoking mixture I've seen by a mile. It is genuinly like marijuana, its not the exact same of course but its still amazing. I'd deffinately recommend it if I wasn't afraid of reccomending it incase that would make me liable for some nut job kid in america eating 1000 ounches of it and then killing himself causing a media frenzy to sweep the globe and a bunch of asshole old women and impotent men saying how dangerous legal highs are again....ehhhhh what was I talking about, yeah spice gold, I rolled a 3 skinner and threw about 0.1 or 0.2 of a gram into it and a little tobaco just because I wanted to have a ciggerette aswell and I hate smoking while im rolling cause I always forget I have the smoke in my hand and I keep burning all my fucking track suit bottoms to bits. So I smoked it there about 20 mins ago from when I started writing this thread I think but it might be more than 40 ins now or 22 mins or something and I'm still pretty backedgonna go watch meself some tv or maybe put on the new Kings of Leon album I embesilled from the internet and stick on that song what which the name I can't remember of is, you know? and might eat me a couple of snickers icecreams mixed with budwiser in a big bowl, maybe stick a flake or two into it, or I might have me one of those things that come in the boxes the raspberry yokes, common don't pretend you don't all it beer icecreams and litlle raspberry things that come in boxes. So yeah free tibet and free that bloke that got locked up for shooting his wife in that film that was on last night, you know the one?, and if theres any
koreans reading this,listen you crazy assholes stop eating dogs, dog not food you understand? dog pet and dog cophound and dog pull slieghs and dog catch rats and scare off cats, but not food. Theres pigs in Korea, I seen em on telly so don't try and deny it, pig is food not dog, you guys have it all backwards over there, must be from writng from right to left all the time, all the wierdo countries write like you guys from right to left< maybe you should try writng properly for a while and youse might not be so mental> And stop fucking fighting with the other korea, ya's are only just shit stirrers.
Spice Gold is better than most weed out there 1 bowl gets me totally rocked for about 2 - 3 hours straight; than there's that awesome and slow beautiful comedown for the next 12 - 24 hours I wish more places shipped to US !
I've been trolling around here for a while, but I couldn't contain myself on this subject. I completely agree with you guys. I have been unable to smoke mj for like 6 years now due to work testing and I have tried MANY herbal blends over those years. I gave up a while back because they were all disappointing to me, except a few that had salvia-d in them. Then I came across spice a month ago or so and man let me tell you I have been very happy lately. I got it from http://www.spicesale.com and they do ship to the US. I got the regular and gold combo deal and the first thing I noticed about the difference between the two was that spice burns alot slower than spice gold. Spice gives me areally nice mellow relaxing buzz that lasts a while, and Gold just gets me blasted for quite a long time. I love it! I hear that 99-0 chillin is also good but haven't had a chance to try it yet. But yes, finally we have some real alternatives that are legal, pretty friggin cool
THE SPICE MAN IS HERE, Spice contains HU-210, a synthetic cannbinoid, 700x more potent THC which means you only need to buy a little to spread a dose across a batch, this is why it can not be shipped to certain contries, HU-210 is schedule 1, meaning you need a licsence to get it through customs, but customs doesnt know there is HU-210 in spice gold, so it prances across borders oh and beware i have "abused" spice gold, it has seriously effected my brain i can no longer get comfortable like i used to my mental agility is about half of what it used to be short-term memory is horrible, long-term is significantly better I used to blow 5 bowls in a session and smoke spice gold when I had the spice hangovers the next day I blew 3.5g of spice in a week, if you ever got an eighth of spice you know how long it lasts
That does seem hard to believe, though I've never heard an explaination of why the stuff works. But the clear evidence is that it does, on my list of things to try.
The listed ingredients are Baybean, Blue Lotus, Lion's Tail, Lousewort, Indian Warrior, Dwarf Scullcap, Maconha Brava, Pink Lotus, Marshmallow, Red Clover, Rose, Siberian Motherwort, Vanilla, and Honey. The Red clover, Marshmallow, Rose and Honey have no known psychoactive effect and are probably added to improve the flavour and fragrance. When smoked alone Lions Tail and Maconha Brava both produce very cannabis like but very mild highs. The lotus has a mild sedative effect when used alone. The remaining ingredints are reported as having stimulant/sedative/other effects but are also usually quite mild aswell. It seems to be the synergy between some or all of the various ingredients that give it its particular effect.
This rumour has been doing the rounds on the internet for a while now. The original source(s) of the claim is unknown. It remains unconfirmed one way or the other to my knowlege as I haven't been able to track down any reliable labs analysis results for spice. But it can be presumed untrue though for a few reasons. 1. Firstly the fact that the rumour states that the inclusion of HU-210 is the reason it can't be shipped to these countries USA, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Holland, Austria, Japan. Thats a misconception, those countries have widely different schedules and shceduling procedures but they are well known for being prone to media craziness about legal highs and for thier love of scheduling any thing that becomes popular. Holland may seem a strange country not to ship to but they have been very active recently in outlawing legal highs yohimbe, ephedra, kava-kava ect they also reacted to the sale of "Explosion" within just six months, the current gouvernment has a massive agenda against legal highs. And the last thing the manufacturers of Spice want is some goth kid in America shooting himself in the face and then the cops finding spice in his bedroom, so their refusal to ship to America at present is fairly self explanatory. 2. Secondly, HU-210 has a melting point which would make it virtually unsmokable or at least innefectual via normal methods. Heres the response the manufacturers gave in relation to the rumour. "Hi Everyone, Sorry it has taken us a couple of days to put a response together but the supplier of Spice is and has been on holiday for a few weeks and we had to get his response directly as the posts made mention that Mark at *** knew him. We were as surprised as you all are about Marks assertion so we had to get to the bottom of it before replying! I hope this will help to settle this issue. Many Thanks In response to the discussion and false statements about spice on various forums. It appears the rumours posted about spice on the various forums were started by Mark at *** Botanicals. Mark has claimed that he knows the manufacturer of spice and also that he has completed HPLC analysis on Spice showing it contains HU-210. Both of these statements are false and Spice does not contain HU-210. Mark has previously contacted a mutual business associate with an interest to acquire Spice and we declined to sell because we have chosen not to market spice in North America at this time. There seems to be a general misconception that our country distribution restrictions have something to do with Spice being illegal in the certain countries we have listed. This is not the case, our restrictions are in fact an attempt to limit Spice from being distributed into the countries we feel are most likely to ban the product rapidly and thus cause a cascade effect that would shut down our primary markets prematurely. We would prefer to not have to refute all rumours of what may or not make Spice so nice but felt compelled this time as the current claims could be damaging to the reputation of the product. I do not know mark's reasons or intentions for his claims." So at present it seems that the rumour hasn't been completely disproven but remains very unlikely.
Proportions and strength of the extract could have a lot to do with it too. It's like trying to re-duplicate coke or pepsi with just the ingredient list (yes, I mean the secret recipe just without the portions listed).
this certainly isnt the first time i've heard people raving about spice being the only effective legal herbal smoking blend..... but i really just have a fucking HARD time believing that something like this produces effects similar to marijuana, without any major negative side effects or without any actual cannabinoids, without tasting like shit...etc. though for something that costs as much as a lot of pot out there, id hope there would at least be a small effect. i'm really unsure if i want to try this stuff, regardless of people saying it works. its expensive, i'd imagine it wouldnt taste good, and even if it does work i'd be willing to bet an eighth of pot that costs 40 bucks is probably a lot better than an eighth of spice gold which costs 40 bucks.... so, for those of you who say it works..... do you also think it is worth the price? and how about the flavor and aroma of it? does it replicate the effects of cannabis exactly? i mean, munchies, red eyes, cottonmouth, or is it only somewhat reminiscent of cannabis? does it produce a sedative effect more than just getting stoned? i'm really curious about this stuff...but its so pricey for something i trust so little.
(1)Personally I do think it's worth the price, I mean it is around $40 an eight but you use less per joint or per bowl than you usually do with weed so it lasts a good bit longer. And I mean $40 quid isn't going to break the bank, and they do little 400mg packs for about €7:50 or something like that. (2)Flavour and aroma are matters of personal taste. I know a good few people that say they hate the taste and smell of hash but I know about the same amount that say they love it, its the same with spice. It smells predictably enough like mixed spice, it tastes slightly sweet with a hint of spice, its a little milder than hash smoke and a little harsher than weed smoke. (3)No it doesn't replicate the effects of cannabis exactly, nothing does, the same as nothing replicates the effects of alcohol of coke or e or caffeine completely. But it gets very very close, closer than anything I know of by a long way. You do get the munchies, and you do get stoned rather than just sedated, as for red eyes thats just caused by smoke, not cannabis smoke in particular, so yeah you can get red eyes. But like I said its not exactly like cannabis and given the choice between a free ounce of top quality weed and a free ounce of spice, I'd pick the weed almost every time. But say theres a bit of a drought on and I can't get any weed for a couple of days I can just stroll into a shop and pick up as much spice as I want. Then I can sit on a bench outside and roll a joint and walk down to my local cop station and stand there stoned out of my brain with a joint of spice hanging out of my mouth chatting to them, knowing they can't do anything. Or if I am going for a job or I'm due back in court and have to pass a drug test but don't wanna stop getting stoned I can just switch to spice gold for a few weeks. Or sometimes I just throw a little spice into a joint of weed to give it an extra kick and they go amazingly together.
