RE: THE SCIENCE of ADDICTION

in #science6 years ago

I wish the effects of synthetic Marijuana, also known as "K-2" or "Spice" was mentioned here. An ex-boyfriend of mine became addicted to it when Marijuana was inaccessible to us. He became a habitual user for a period of 6 months. Toward the end of that 6 months he had 2 episodes where his heart nearly stopped. His kidneys stopped functioning at full capacity which made his urine a dark brown, almost like Newcastle Ale. He had shortness of breathe, weird coughing rhythms, and would cough up phlegm that had a charcoal grey color to it. Marijuana never did any of those things to him. When he knew it was time to kick the habit, he endured 2 weeks of intense withdrawals. He could not eat his favorite foods without gagging. He couldn't sleep or function in his creativity. It was some really bad news there for a while. I never seen him not be able to eat grilled ham and cheese, which was his favorite meal at the time. It is so sad a bad drug such as "spice" was legal and therefore, "ok" and a non-lethal drug would be illegal. Be careful out there, my tribe! Thanks for sharing these charts! Maybe the type should be a bit bigger but they are otherwise fine. Much love!
