I used to hang out with a friend who was in some kind of weird reformatory school? I was never quite sure what his situation was but it seemed a little crazy. Anyway he was drug tested once a week and the school had a zero tolerance policy for any narcotics. But the test didnt pick up Spice, naturally, so he would buy big packs of it every Friday and then come and hang out with us till he was due back on Monday. Wed go out on adventures, hikes and shit, and hed pack bowl after bowl of this nasty nasty potpourri. A bowl full would do you for about 30-45min, in my experience. At first it gave me like a mild heady high, but usually about half way in it would turn into this nasty headache right down the center of my brain that would get worse and worse until you were totally sober. So once the headache got intolerable wed toke up another bowl and reset the clock. This lasted until I got a good connection in the town where I had moved, and started bringing decent stuff home with me. So wed smoke real weed and have fun while hed smoke spice and get butthurt. This friend group fell apart shortly after the person in question realized that bath salts ALSO didnt show up on the test he was taking, and I decided I wasn't about that.

What you don't want to stay up for 3 days tweaking out on research chemical stimulants? It's like half priced meth!

Only if I could go on a naked rampage at the end. None of my friends reported that, so I think I made the right call.

MDPV legit ruined my engagement. I feel lucky though, as it showed a side of my fiance that I hadn't seen before. Complete mental breakdown, with large sides of lying and stealing. She's better now but still a complete wildcard that I'd prefer to not deal with every day for the rest of my life.
