I didn&#x27;t realise this was a problem in NYC too, but I suppose I shouldn&#x27;t be surprised.<p>Here&#x27;s a recent video from Vice on Spice use in the UK (Spice is just the brand name, it sounds like it&#x27;s basically the same as K2, though the chemicals involved evolve over time so perhaps it&#x27;s better to say they&#x27;re in the same group of drugs):<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;t6pmc7Tpx4w" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;t6pmc7Tpx4w</a><p>Before I watched this I&#x27;d heard synthetic drugs were dangerous, what surprised me was how addictive they appeared to be (people in the video compared its addictiveness to heroin).
