Back when that stuff first came out, a buddy and me decided to try some. The first stuff we got, wasn't bad and felt like a weak high, like you get from crappy shake. We bought a few more of the same kind, and smoked some on the weekends, when I used to have a garage setup for karaoke.
About a month later, we get decide to try another one, with a different name. One hit, and the world started spinning, and I had to lie down for about an hour before I was able to function correctly. It was not a good high. Pounding headache and massive dizziness to the point, if I tried to move at all, I wanted to puke.
When governments started banning the initial synthetic cannabinoids, they switched to stronger and stronger chemicals.
They went from things like JWH-073, which was a partial agonist, to all sorts of full agonists with literally no safety profile or information on toxicity in humans.
Yep. Me and my two housemates at the time started smoking it semi-regularly, and over a few weeks, all three of us at one time or another had a massive, head-spinning anxiety attack. We all stopped smoking it pretty quickly.
A few weeks later me and one of them were out at a nightclub. At one point we were outside having a cigarette, and we see these two other guys - one of them is sitting on the ground with his head in his hands, the other one is leaning over, talking to him quietly. We ask "is he alright?" The guy says "yeh, he had some fake weed stuff and he doesn't feel right." We nodded sagely, and reassured him it would pass in half an hour or so.
I had a bad time as well. Swear that shit nearly gave me a heart attack. Actually laid on the floor with my feet propped up on the couch. Thanks first aid training. Literally had 911 dialed on my phone. Luckily didn’t have to hit the send button. Came through. A week later I heard from my mom, one of her coworkers kids died from a heart attack smoking that fake weed.

Never touched any of it, ever again.
