On Saturday, Oct. 22, I had my first sample of “spice”, or synthetic weed. I’m not familiar with the brand name, and all I can tell you is that it worked. In a way. It wasn’t the same high that I had experienced when smoking weed. Granted, I wasn’t very experience at the art of toking, so I can’t say whether this material was better or worse. But what I did Saturday isn’t the focus here. It’s just back story so you know how experienced I am with synthetics.
Tonight, Oct. 25/26, I purchased 4 grams of a product called “Rain”. I wasn’t expecting much, as my previous purchase of Spice 99 was a dud (no high what-so-ever). I drove to my friend’s house, tonight as his first time trying a synthetic blend, and I rolled a small joint. I’d say maybe two pinches, less than half a gram. We lit up in my car and I had the first toke.
In total, I had three hits, he had two. I lit a normal cigarette, already beginning to feel a slight body high. Two drags later my legs went numb. I raised the cigarette to my mouth and my hands went numb. Suddenly they looked like they were miles away, and every movement of my body was slow and weak. I looked at the clock. It was 9:00.
We started talking in hushed voices, laughing at the effects. I was far past the high that my last bowl of weed gave me. I was shooting towards the high I got the first time I’d ever smoked. I looked at the clock after what seemed like hours. 9:01.
Suddenly I was up, past the point of my first joint. I felt like I was someone else, like my body was a video game. I couldn’t feel pain. My cigarette hadn’t grown any smaller, despite what felt like hours of smoking. I distinctly remember rolling down the window so that my friend and I didn’t die of carbon dioxide poisoning (although I doubt we would have. Reaching for the pack of soda that I keep on my back seat was the hardest thing in my life. It felt like an Olympic task. I looked at the clock. 9:02.
At 9:05 we stepped out of the car, intending to walk. We made it to the trunk of my car and leaned back on it. We stayed there, talking about absolutely nothing, yet everything at the same time. After thirty minutes in the cold we sat down. By now I was freaking out, because I didn’t expect the high I had gotten. I was expecting something weak, barely above normal.
We were high for one hour. As quickly as it came on, it dropped off. This hour felt like days. I know most people have issues keeping track of time when they’re high, but this goes beyond anything I’ve ever felt before.
Sorry for the long review, but I wanted to give an adequate description of the effects. If you want something that will knock you off your feet for an hour, buy Rain. It comes in a black pack, usually for 4 grams, and it has the Seattle skyline on it. The name is in a dark green. But be warned: don’t purchase it if you’re looking for something fast and medium-powered. This isn’t something you can smoke and head to work on. Only use it if you’re looking for a mind-blowing night.
