So, what is Spice? Who uses it? Given the choice, would users prefer to use cannabis over spice? Why is it so popular in prisons? And why are the media unhelpfully calling Spice users, Zombies?
Ever wondered why synthetic cannabinoids, like Spice, have become so prevalent in prisons? In this episode of 'What's the Crack', hosts Rob Calder, Elle Wadsworth, and Lindsey Hines from the National Addiction Centre at King’s College London dive into the murky world of Spice with special guest Dr Nicky Kalk. They tackle pressing questions: What exactly is Spice? Who is using it, and why? And what’s with the media dubbing users 'Zombies'?
With a blend of expert knowledge and candid discussion, they shed light on why Spice is the drug of choice behind bars, largely due to its ability to evade standard drug tests. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of Spice use, including potential links to mental health issues like psychosis.
