Spice is a smoking mixture containing synthetic cannabinoids with psychoactive effects similar to herbal cannabis. It is sold on the Internet and has become popular among young people. The purpose of the present study was to investigate experiences of intoxication induced by Spice, as described on a Swedish internet-based discussion forum. A systematic search yielded 40 reports, which were analyzed using phenomenological method. A total of 7 themes (composed of 27 categories) emerged from the analysis: 1. Spice use as social ritual; 2. Social secretiveness; 3. Intoxication remarks; 4. Well-being and elation; 5. Altered perception of reality; 6. Fears and coping; 7. Unpleasant physical effects. The results show that smoking was a social activity mostly carried out in small peer-groups, and that the substances induced strong intoxication with both positive and negative effects. Despite fears and unpleasant effects, the intoxication was often considered fascinating and rewarding.
香料是一种含有合成大麻素的吸烟混合物，其精神活性作用类似于草药大麻。它在互联网上销售，并且在年轻人中很受欢迎。本研究的目的是调查瑞典一个基于互联网的讨论论坛上所描述的由香料引起的中毒体验。系统搜索产生了40份报告，使用现象学方法对其进行了分析。分析共得出7个主题（由27个类别组成）：1. 将使用香料作为社交仪式；2. 社交中的隐秘性；3. 中毒言论；4. 幸福感和兴奋感；5. 对现实的感知改变；6. 恐惧与应对；7. 不愉快的身体影响。结果表明，吸烟是一项主要在小同伴群体中进行的社交活动，这些物质会引起强烈的中毒，既有积极影响也有消极影响。尽管存在恐惧和不愉快的影响，但中毒体验通常被认为既迷人又有益。
