Spice Smoking Blend

How to Smoke Herbal Incense

Most of guys prefer to smoke legal Incense with rolling paper, water-pipe, or vaporizers; these are some good methods to smoke herbal incense but this is not enough, there are a few more things which we have to take care in order to get good results.

Firstly, the smoke must be inhaled quickly and smoker should hold it for 10-15 seconds. These smoking blends should not be smoked with cigarettes because they require much hotter flame than ordinary cigarettes’ lighter. It is recommended that smoker should use electrically charged lighters which we can easily get from wall mart or any other shop.
If you are smoking these buds with any medium size Bong than you should hold the flame directly over the blend and burn it for entire duration while inhaling the smoke. The amount of inhaled smoke varies person to person.
We have also noticed that the effect of same smoking blend varies person to person; this is because it all depends on people’s brain chemistry that some feels little buzz and some feels euphoric hallucination. The time of effects also depends on specific body type that means a taller and stronger person may take more time or more dosage to get the effects as compared to a weak person.
If you think that herbal smoking buds are useless for you because it never gives you the same effects as other people have it, so remember it is all about the right dosage, potency and specific effects of herb. If you have already tried any smoking blends and you think that this is not working for you so here is the
solution for you. The main reason some people don’t seem to get any effect after smoking is because brain receptor in particular individuals are not bonding with the compounds in these smoking alternatives. So in some cases you can smoke whichever Herbal Alternative and receive minimum to no results, no matter how much you smoke in a single session. This may be due to each individual’s genetic makeup and the resulting brain chemistry. You can easily overcome the non-bonding using a simple method.
Smoke about a bowl to two bowls which is about 200mg to 300mg of any herb alternative you are getting barely to any effects from every day, to a minimum of every other day, for one to two weeks. After one to two weeks, one day you will be smoking it and suddenly feel the buzz or, if not VERY buzzed. Usually happens with me after only week of using this method. This method is preparing one’s brain to get those receptors bonding with the smoke to get the full effects from the alternatives. Thus avoiding disappointment or even worse you’re throwing away of your hard earned cash. Just don’t expect every Herbal Smoking Alternative you use to be as potent and or be the same in effects to other Herbal Smoking Alternatives, because they are all different. Some might be more potent than the next, some will give more euphoric, others will give you more of a chilled out relaxed feeling. But all will have a noticeable effect on you and then it’s up to you whether you like a particular effect or not.
The most common mistake made by new bud smokers in the Smoking Alternative scene is that they expect it to be like real cannabis. There is no substitute for Marijuana or any other cannabis. The legal buds are alternatives not substitutes. They are an alternative to Marijuana, Tobacco and other substances that may not be legal in the USA, if not most of the world. Most of the herbal smoking

Hope you guys find this article informative. That is all for today.

Synthetic Cannabis

15 June by admin Leave a Comment

Synthetic cannabis is a new product in the market of smoke shops and it is easily becoming one of the most popular. Cannabis is known more commonly by its actual name, “marijuana.” It has been used for centuries now for medicinal and sensory purposes. In fact, the latter is the main reason why cannabis has become such a wide-spread smoke solution in today’s world. Most people who try it enjoy the psychoactive effects and how it brings on an immediate feeling of relaxation. Still- there has been controversy with the product. This undeniable controversy has directly brought about a new product, synthetic cannabis. Synthetic cannabis is just that, man-made, and yet able to mirror the effects of marijuana in its pure form. Delta-9 tetrahydrocannainol is the active chemical ingredient of marijuana that carries the hallucinogenic effect, and is illegal in many areas of the world. Its man-made counterpart is created without the illegal ingredient, thus making it DEA-safe. Users no longer have to worry about the product being under the watchful eye of their jurisdictions.

Synthetic cannabis is best known in the market as either Spice Smoking Blend or K2 Incense. If you go to a grocery store, convenience outlet, or smoke shop, you likely are going to find many different options to purchase. Since 2000, the product has been readily available to smokers around the world. Its main advantage is its legal stance, but it also has another positive attribute. It is undetectable in a drug test. While the pure form of cannabis is a problem for those who need to be tested, the synthetic form does not show up. It doesn’t have the illegal ingredient and is completely herbal in its makeup. By eliminating its detectability in drug tests and its illegal component, synthetic cannabis is quickly growing in popularity. The uses for synthetic cannabis are widespread too. The product oftentimes is marketed to buyers as an herbal incense product, or an herbal smoking blend. Though some users prefer to smoke it, there is an equally strong group of buyers who want to burn it without direct ingestion. This can be a calming way to experience a milder effect of the smoking blend.

Although some compounds are still legal within the United States, synthetic cannabis is not without its own controversies. Some components of the product are being called into question. Research has shown that it may be related to psychosis and prolonged episodes of chronic psychotic episodes. The truth for this claim though as of yet has never been produced. Long-time users believe that there are enough positive attributes, as opposed to negative ones, to fully supports its marketing and promotion around the world. The bottom line is that the “designer drug” has been created without the active cannabis ingredient Delta-9 tetrahydrocannainol since around 2004. It first showed up in Europe and quickly gained popularity from there. Most manufacturers have been aggressive in their promotions and for good reason. They have made it a point to create blends with traditional medicinal herbs. Elements like nymphaea caerulea, sculellaria nana, leonotis leonurus, zomia latifolia and canavalia maritime are all a part of the mix. While no official studies on safety have been conducted as of yet, millions of repeat users espouse the safety of the herbal blend.
In the US there are plans to scrutinize synthetic cannabis. Though it is claimed to be composed of legal and herbal elements, the government is trying to crack down on its distribution. Though official status of various components are not illegal, the DEA is trying to do further testing to make sure that determination is correct. So far, US law has temporarily scheduled a final determination to be made on the drug, noting some elements are headed under “elements of concern.” There is still some controversy that the man-made drug may induce seizures, heart racing, elevated blood pressure, anxiety, agitation, hallucinations and overall paranoia. Several states in the US are delving deeper into testing synthetic cannabis. Kansas, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee and Louisiana have all independently made the decision to make it illegal under their own state laws. Arkansas likely is going to follow suit in coming months.
Outside of the US there are also investigations into synthetic cannabis being planned. Russia, for example, has already created an initiative to control smoke blends and their sales. The country is marketing the product under a variety of different names and manufacturers are looking for ways to sneak it under the watchful eyes of the government. On the other hand, Finland is a country that considers the smoke blend medicinal, and therefore has no restrictions on it. The United Kingdom did a turn around on the blend in December of 2009 making it illegal upon reclassification of various drug substances. The bottom line for the whole world is that legislators are trying to regulate synthetic blends. This is creating a secondary problem to deal with that history has experienced time and time again.
For any popular substance prohibition has always been a possible solution explored by the government, but with little success. Manufacturers take it upon themselves to create anything that is in demand and that includes substances like synthetic cannabis. When the government limits what people can buy, underground manufacturers rise up to sell in-demand products “under the table.” This creates an even bigger problem for the market because many of them create ingestible substances that are well below safety regulations. Some are even blatantly dangerous to the general public. This issue makes it more of a priority for governments to sort through the issue. Legislators are well aware of the dangers of leaving the illegal market rise up and take over. Not only would it cause millions of dollars to be lost, but it potentially could put millions of users at risk for serious medical maladies and long-term disabilities. Synthetic cannabis is a market of its own, but not without some specific risks to be managed. Users and legislators alike need to focus on safe usage and distribution, respectively, to ensure public safety. Still, until the issue is further discussed, synthetic cannabis can be a safe and legal alternative to marijuana.
In the end, synthetic cannabis is a product that is man-made and legal. The herbal blend has come into the market on the heels of marijuana as a safe alternative. Due to its complete herbal makeup, it is considered by many to be the perfect smoke product. Its growth in popularity is only going to continue as more people are drawn in by its potency, smoke effect and overall herbal mix.

Black Mamba Incense Review

Black Mamba Incense Review

There’s a new drug in town and it’s called the Black Mamba Incense. Contrary to many first timers’ beliefs; No this is not a snake and no you did not see this on ‘Kill Bill’ (the pussy wagon long died after showing up in Lady Gaga’s telephone music video). This is something different; this is a ‘drug’ that is causing somewhat of a major hype in the growing community. People say that this is the new high, some say that this is still incomparable to the banned cannabis; but what is this really? What is this new spice is town? What is Black Mamba?

Black Mamba is causing a stir in the whole smoking community. It is a spice blend of many sorts that apparently gives you the same euphoric effect as cannabis. The spice blend Black Mamba is made mostly of Damiana. It is an herb with yellow flowers that mostly thrives on dry climates such as California, Texas, and Mexico. There are also reports of this concoction containing herbs such as Lotus, Red Clover, Lousewort, Baybean, and many other herbs and spices. In the olden days (Before it was called Black Mamba) this blend is famously known to be used by Indians and many other American cultures for sexual stimulation, relaxation, rituals, and other medicinal purposes. Today, it is being sold as an aromatherapy incense to relax the minds of the people using it.

To those who have seen Black Mamba, they describe the texture as more fluffy and light compared to other spice blends out there. The consistency is very light that to the naked eye it would look as if it doesn’t pack a punch in grams. As to how it transmits in our noses, it does not come close to smelling like cannabis but because of the many herbs and spices blended to create this concoction, the Black Mamba spice is considered to be very aromatic as the cannabis itself. The smell of it is sweet, very earthy, and somewhat woody, it also has a hint of citrus, and tea leaves in it as well; it is very close to smelling like oregano or sage actually. The taste however is intimately similar to Mexican Shwag.
The question now is, why is its demand increasing tenfold? People have been buying this said blend because of the claimed effects is has on humans. That said, the reason why it is currently making news and is popular with people who smokes mind altering substances in many states and in many parts of the world is because of its near comparison to cannabis. Many people claim that the effects that Black Mamba would give you are the same with ‘Marijuana’ but on a different note.

People having taken cannabis or ‘Marijuana’ would assure you of the effects such as euphoria, lightheadedness, thirst, and hunger; People who have used Black Mamba claims the same. The means of taking Black Mamba in your system is quite the same with cannabis, you either use a bong to purify any harsh chemicals inside it or you roll it in a rolling paper and smoke it to your heart’s desire, your choice. Others however, take Black Mamba in their system by means of ingestion. People have their own creative way of ingesting it by boiling water and mixing the concoction in, serving it as tea.

After having smoked or ingested Black Mamba, the effects of it kicking in your system is almost instant. The Black Mamba spice packs quite a punch that the effects after taking it in would instantly show as fast as your initial shot (one puff or one long gulp). People claim that Black Mamba would give you a Marijuana-like high, cottonmouthing, extreme thirst, munchies, extreme hunger, and an enhanced enjoyment of music and the likes. The longevity of the effect of Black Mamba in your body would last as short as 3 hours and would extend as long as 8 hours, depending on the amount of stuff you have ingested. You would also feel extreme numbness in your body during the relaxation period (no wonder people are holding on to it and selling it like pancakes on crack). The aftereffects include mild headache, a little bit of grogginess, and a slight hangover that you should not be worried about; it all depends on the moderation of your intake actually. The reason for all these is that these kinds of herbs affect the nervous system and it acts as an antidepressant that soothes nervousness, anxiety attacks, and other mild forms of depression.

The found active ingredient present in Black Mamba that gives it a kick and all things euphoric about it is the presence of JWH-018. JWH-018 is a chemical that would give you the same effect of THC (a chemical found in cannabis/ ‘Marijuana’). It is a milder form of THC found in cannabinoids or in any other synthetic cannabis out there. The only known difference about both is that the chemical JWH-018 is a chemical that is considered legal in the U.S.

Black Mamba can be bought locally; you can find Black Mamba and many other spice blends online, on tobacco shops, adult gift stores, lingerie stores, and certain convenience stores as well. Buying it would depend on the state you are currently residing though. There are some states that put Black Mamba on a schedule I drug, which means that it is considered illegal to buy and sell it in the state you are living in.
Because little is known about the long term effects of Black Mamba, one should practice caution in doing these kinds of practices. Too much of a good thing is always bad for you. Do research before you venture into this kind of temporary high.

The Good
The good side of it though is that this kind of spice blend is excellent to try should you want to put yourself in a state of calmness and relaxation. The taste is very palatable and the smell is aromatic which makes things easy to ingest. It is also a good substitute should you wish to pass a drug test.

The Bad
The bad side of it however, is that it is strong and it is rough on the throat, it can cause nausea when taken in large quantities, and it is not readily available in all states. Also, less research was made with this type of concoction; little is known.

The Verdict
Overall it is important to remember that this spice blend is sold for the purpose of incense aromatherapy only. Should you use this for any other purpose other than what this was intended for and have medical-related problems with it in the long run is your responsibility. Practice everything with precaution and buy it in a place or from people you trust.

Basics of SC Spice Blends

Introduction to Synthetic Cannabinoids: The Basics

So you think you’re ready to enter the world of synthetic weed, and get STONED with Mr. Wizard…

Common forms of synthetic cannabinoids available on the ‘retail’ market:

Synthetic cannabinoids, they’ve been around for years and years, but somehow only recently emerged into the ‘retail’ online RC and local head shop market. The most common form of synthetic cannabinoid (in this case “legal smoke”) is a mixture of dried plant matter, sprayed with an unknown amount of an unknown cannabinoid. The most common brand names for these are the obvious K2 Incense, Spice Smoking Blend, Serenity Now, and so on and so on. This stuff if not gotten from a reputible supplier, could be either a) bunk b) reallly overly strong or c) looks like fish food and not too appealing in any of these cases. On the other hand there are very reputible and honest suppliers of these ‘incense’ as well

The other form of synthetic cannabinoid you probably are familar with (or are here to become familar with) is the pure lab grade “research chemical” compounds, such as the JWH and WIN families. These chemicals were designed by various research chemists and big pharma style companies (Pfizer, Sterling Winthrop). These chemicals effects vary widely in potentcy, effects, and duration of action depending on the family of cannabinoid and which particular compound of that family you are dealing with.

Routes of administration:

When it comes to ingestion of synthetic cannabinoids, it’s pretty simple. The K2/Spice “Herbal Incense” can be smoked or vaporized just like regular natrually occuring cannabinoids. The synthetic RC cannabinoids on the other hand, can be smoked out of a regular spoon on a bed of ash (see picture below) or screens w/ ash, rolling papers, celluose rolling papers, or whatever works for you best. There is the thought among researchers that some synthetic cannabinoid compounds are destroyed when exposed to direct flame. In this case, oral vaporization with a oil burner meth pipe or aluminum foil (chasing the j-dragon), I’ve even read accounts of absorbsion via insufflation with some of these compounds, WIN 55 being one of them that will be discussed further later. There are many methods of ingestion that will be discussed in greater detail later in the OP. I even tried plugging JWH-018 one night, but I was wrecked on Jim Beam and OxyContin so I dont know if did even did anything at all, but it was in the name of science

General overview of effects:

Generally, it feels like weed, but missing something. Like mentioned before, it really depends on the compounds, dosages, ratios, ROA, among other things that will account to the potentcy and positive-effects. Some of these compounds are several times (even several hundred times ) stronger than THC, some are CB1 agonists, some are CB2 agonist, some are CB1 and 2 agonists. These chemicals are all very unique and their effects their own, and also dependant on the quality of the synthesis. The main positive feelings (or high) of SCs are pretty much identical to that of their natrual cousins THC and CBD, elevated or uplifted mood, hightened creativity or curiosity, a state of relaxation, increased sense of humor, decreased cognitive ability eg: memory loss or “brain farts” (will be discussed in depth later), increased appitite, and time distortion. While also missing some elements described by JWH users (when compared to THC) such as lack of body high or the lack of extreme laziness/severe couchlock. Again, like with everything else, effects, dosage, and duration of these SCs will be discussed in more detail later in the advanced breakdown of the synthetic cannabinoids, their families and related compounds.

Precautions:

This is only an introductory section to this guide, so the warnings and precautions of using SCs recreationally will only be touched on lightly in this paragraph. *This advice should not be considered ‘medical’ advice in any way, but is collected is from reputable web sites, government sources and studies, scientific reports and research, and what
other little documentation exists on these SC compounds*
Eyeballing synthetic very potent lab-grade chemicals
The risk and signs of overdose
The Fear, and tips for dealing with it.
Common sense, something not used enough in the research chemical underworld.

-> Eyeballing: Rule of thumb is, don’t eyeball doses. No matter how many times this is said, people don’t listen (including myself). If you really want to be serious about researching these compounds, you should obtain the proper measurement equipment, links will be provided below. Other than possibly overdosing, whice I’ve done multiple times also, there is one more consequence of irresponsible use and eyeballing measurements of SCs. Because you can continously raise the dosage beyond the ceiling point of THC, eventually your doses will just grow to heroic amounts in order to feel the slightest ‘relaxation’. I’ve also gathered that this tolerance also transfers also to THC, other cannabinoids, and apparently takes forever to go away. I will have to take a picture of how much I use for example why not eyeball chemicals, and how it causes stupid-high-tolerance, and possible addiction.
-> Addiction Potential: Guess what? Remember all those times you heard “marijuana is not addictive” well forget that. Information surfacing after widespread long term illicit use and abuse of these cannabinoids. Some believe because of the way they directly activate cannabinoid receptors, the receptors can grow more dependant on these drugs. Some users have reported (such as myself) withdrawal phenomenon occuring within 24 hours of ceasing intake of cannabinoids.
-> Overdose: This is something very easy for you to do with these potent cannabinoids, mainly when you are using the pure chemical prepreations. While it is thought that these overdoses are nothing more than ‘getting really high’ and are not hamful or fatal, as is with THC, but there is not enough evidence to support any theorys yet. Signs/symptoms of a SC OD are: anxiety or panic attacks, racing heartbeat, racing or looping thoughts (usually negative in subject matter), trouble or shortness of breath, and even reports of audial or visual hallucinations.
-> “The Fear”: You might’ve heard this term thrown around in the old thread, or used to describe an overdose of JWH. The key is, it’s not real, it’s only being caused by an over excitement of your cannabinoid receptors. Try to listen to some upbeat music, read, watch tv, or something to get your mind off the panic. If those options fail, you can try taking a shower, eating a lot of food, or going for a brisk run.
-> Common sense: Remember, this stuff is strong, potent by weight, cheap, and easily available to most worldwide. Common sense MUST be practiced with these drugs even more so than more-so “run of the mill” street recreational drugs. Don’t give your friend who only smokes a little weed at parties a dime baggie with 50mg of JWH-018 powder in it, and tell him to dig in. You know, common sense like that.

Drug Testing

Until recently, these SCs weren’t detectable in any drug tests on the market anywhere. Now there are a labs that currently offer LC/MS/MS (thats right, double MS) urinalyasis detection of JWH-018 and JWH-073 two SCs identified in “27 herbal smoking mixtures”, and well as supposedly “establishedtest methods to identify the presence of their metabolites”. There is also currently labs offering blood tests that can confirm JWH-018, 019, 073, and 250. Well this sucks, thank god for researchers that have jobs, probation officers, or otherwise faggots that interfere with their research, these are only detectable in urine for up to 72 hours. Finally at least there is some part-science probably part propaganda ‘official’ look into drug testing for JWHes here

Legality

The US Drug Enforcement Administration have announced that they are using the emergency scheduling law to ban 5 common synthetic cannabinoid compounds (including JWH-018, JWH-073, and JWH-200). Obviously there are hundreds more compounds available and that are pretty much (just would like to stress: pretty much) completely legal around the world, with the exception of a few cutting-edge countries of the world, and an increasing number of US States and even local/county governments are beginning the slow crackdown on these “legal THC alternatives” The Drug Enforcement Agency identified the “Spice Cannabinoids” as a drug or chemical of concern in 2009. Please if I am missing any Countries, US states, or US municipalities (entire list coming soon) that you know the current legal status, feel free to reply and let us know about the legal status in your hometown!

Countries to ban one or more SC
Austria, Belarus, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Poland, South Korea (but not North?), Sweden, Estonia, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, United States and the United Kingdom

Spice Mojo Incense

17 May by admin 6 Comments

Spice Mojo is one of the oldest existing legal high blends and the makers of this blend have come out with the latest Spice Mojo. Not only is Spice one of the most popular blends on the market, it is also one of the controversial ones. In fact, many states in the US and other countries have banned and regulated Spice blends. People have made claims regarding the negative health effects caused by Spice blends, but it is important to weigh the accuracy of these reports.

The problem with Spice Mojo and other Spice Smoking Blends is that users do not do their research before buying the product. There are manufacturers that produce “basement blends,” meaning that the blends are not monitored and the makers can put anything in package. Usually, the manufacturers will spray a chemical compound that is harmful to the body. Before purchasing your Spice Mojo, check with the manufacturer and make sure they are reputable for quality blends.

Spice has been considered to be the legal alternative to cannabis for a long time now. Like other herbal incense blends, Spice Mojo can be burned to allow the aroma to fill the room or it can be smoked with other tobacco. The natural ingredients, which include Alchemila Vulgaris, Leonotis Africana, Pedicularis Canadensis, Rosa Damascena, Rubus Fruticosus and Scutellaria Alpina, have been used many years ago for ritualistic purposes. Today, these ingredients work together to produce a highly potent blend that is light and refreshing. Once you get a whiff of the product, you will be taken away by its sweet and fruity aroma.

To get the full effect of Spice Mojo, it is recommended to smoke the product. The effects are highly similar to that of cannabis. The benefit of Spice Mojo compared to cannabis is that the effects last longer and it is, of course, legal in certain states and countries. Smoking Spice Mojo makes you feel relaxed and calm, which makes this blend perfect for a stressful day. Spice Mojo is definitely a one up from regular Spice as far as strength goes and longer lasting effects.

The Good
Spice Mojo is stronger than regular Spice and smells sweeter. What sets it apart is that the effects last longer.

The Bad
There are a lot of makers that produce bad blends so be sure to do your research before you buy. You don’t want harmful chemicals with your Spice Mojo.

The Verdict
If Spice is legal in your area and you get the right stuff, you are in for a relaxing experience.
