In all seriousness, I’m a little bit obsessed by this whole spice phenomenon.
Because I left the UK in 2010 and it wasn’t really a massive thing - or rather it didn’t seem to be, although I couldn’t say I was a regular (every weekend) clubber since about 2005 and I was mixing in boozier/pub circles from 2005-2010. Then whenever I came back in the mid-2010s it was suddenly everywhere in the major city centres, especially Manchester, and just seemed to be getting bigger and bigger and more visible.
Whenever I can I dip into videos showing what people are up to on it, interviews with spice addicts and so on. It’s shameful voyeurism really, because it’s sad the lives the addicts face.
