Like cannabis, Spice can make users feel happy and relaxed, but the effects are much stronger and often unpredictable.
Users recall experiences of feeling brain-dead and paralysed, with numerous reports of people having sometimes fatal heart attacks and strokes.
Cases have also been reported of kidney damage, liver damage and psychosis.
Why is it called the 'Zombie Drug?'
Spice also goes by the name of "Zombie Drug," due to the zombie-like state it can leave users in.
The issue became so widespread that videos of people slumped on park benches and the like went viral on social media, prompting a trend of "zombie hunting" on sites like Facebook.
How is Spice different from cannabis?
Although Spice is meant to mimic the psychoactive effects of cannabis, it is not the same thing.
Although the chemicals in Spice and THC (the psychoactive compound in marijuana) act upon the same part of the brain, the chemicals in Spice can be over 100 times stronger.
