Legal herb?

[Virgil.]

Has anyone here tried the "incense" Spice or K-2 before? Supposedly it gets you as fucked up as real herb, but it's legal. I've read good and negative reviews, and wanted to see if anyone here can give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. I want to try it but I've heard some reviews of people blacking out, not being able to breathe, having a bad trip, etc. Since the ratio to herb of this stuff is more potent, I'm assuming people that are having these adverse reactions are just dumb and acting like hard asses and basically over doing it. Anyway, I'll shut up now. Your thoughts?

I remember reading somewhere that K-2 makes you vomit, and is somewhat poisonous. Honestly, I wouldn't smoke that as much as I would want to smoke a regular incense stick. Unless you get medical, stick to your good ol' streetcorner MJ.

STOP!!!! throw all Legal buds away....It's all bullshit.....It's nothing like the real thing...I have never tried the legal buds but i have heard from friends....And i don't need to try it i know its bullshit...Nothing can Replace Marijuana it's been on this planet for 1000's of years...It's the strongest,fastest, most durable plant known to man.....It's truly a gift

I would be scared to put that shit in my lungs anyways

Atleast you know your some what sorta safe with properly grown marijuana.

Well, although each brand makes it different, essentially they are all just various dried plants that are sprayed with a synthetic cannabinoid compound. I'm assuming the plants may be ok to smoke, but it's the manmade chemical that is anyone's guess. And since it's not regulated, I'm sure there's all kinds of scary shit in there. But then again, there's scary shit I breathe on a daily basis just walking outside in the city, or even drinking a diet coke. That's why I kind of wanted to get some opinions from those that might have tried it to see if it's even something anyone should mess around with. I know real herb is definitely the safest all natural way to go, but for those without any, or that go through random drug testing, I wonder if this stuff is a good alternative or if it's just plain dangerous.

@zombietakeover... I agree with you 100%. There are all kinds of marketed "legal buds" that are complete bullshit and are nothing more than potpourri. But these other products that are marketed as "incense" do get you high and seriously fuck people up. But at what cost is what I'm wondering.

I've actually spent the last hour or so reading testimonials and articles on erowid, and it seems like Spice Gold (the original, as opposed to tons of cheap knockoffs like Spike99) is worth a try - I can't find weed for shit in these parts (I haven't had any of my own since January ), so I may give it a shot, and it helps that I have a vaporizer, which should negate some of the potential negative effects

 

[Virgil.]

Yah, the spice gold is what I'm considering trying. I'm not going to try any knockoffs

 

[Zombietakeover]

Let me know how it goes.......Marcus your from NEW YORK there has to be some ganja there...lol...I could sniff it out

Don't smoke it dude. Take it from someone, me, that smoked Space Spice for a month straight. I used to be all about it, but during that month some very negative things went on, I wouldn't recommend it anymore.

 

[SocialNumb]

Never tried it and never would. Fuck that shit. I could walk up to just about anyone at the corner store and score eventually.

Salvia's legal, but it only lasts for a short period of time.

 

[CatharsisStudios]

salvia is illegal here, and k2 is the worse shit i've ever smoked, its worse then fucking shwag, it makes you vomit, people have died from it, makes you paranoid, its NOT GOOD AT ALL just smoke weed,

 

[Dalinkwent48@aim.com]

So i guess salvia's legality is a state by state issue then? I can go right down the street to the cigar shop and buy it.

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Yeah, it's by state, but I dunno man, salvia kinda spooks me in terms of it's intensity, I don't think anyone would compare its effects to those of weed

 

[CatharsisStudios]

i am glad salvia is illegal, shit scares me '

 

[Dalinkwent48@aim.com]

Its def not the same as good ol' green. But i've never had a bad experience on it. I take a rip, and then laugh my ass off for no apparent reason until I can barely breathe. Sober up, Repeat.

 

[BrettT]

I've always had really scary experiences on salvia. It's always been like a near-death, out-of-body type experience that isn't pleasant in the least bit. Never tried any of the other things mentioned.

Many teenagers who cant get a hold proper weed (and people who have to take drugtests at work etc) smoke it here in Sweden. I've actually tried it once, meh, potent, but meh.
There's actually a documentary about it:

Salvia is different than what K2 or Spice are. Salvia is rumored to be like weed, but that's just because it's green and an herb you smoke. Salvia is actually more like lsd or shrooms... it actually produces more of a psychedelic trip than any other type of "high" from what I've heard, and friends that have tried it. That stuff DOES scare me, and I would never try it.

Salvia and weed are nothing alike really. Salvia oftentimes leads to a TOTAL lack of comprehension, inability to even form words, let alone sentences, and can range from intense laughing fits to a full blown panic attack (may sound like weed here, but trust me, experience one of them and you may want to forsake salvia altogether). More than once friends of mine started crying and begged for it to stop, and they drop LSD and do everything else in the book on the regular. Youtube "Salvia trip" and you can see in their faces that their world was blown to Alpha Centauri and how seamlessly laughing can turn into whimpering. Crazy shit.

Oh yea and the Jay and Silent Bob pic is win.
