Hey kid, don't smoke k2, it's not weed.

This is mostly directed towards any kids who might be lurking and are thinking about trying drugs, but if you're an adult still smoking this stuff, listen up.<br><br>Back when I was 17/18 and was too poor to afford weed I used to smoke this stuff with my dumbass friends. We were all pretty stupid teenagers who were pretty dumb and ignorant when it came to drugs, but the worst thing we did in this regard was smoke a ton of synthetic marihuana together. We were all under the delusion that it was safe and worked just like weed, but with hindsight I can see we were wrong.<br><br>The first time we all tried it together 2 of us got really high, and one passed out for 3 hours and had minor convulsions because he was too sensitive to it. We didn't realize he was sensitive to drugs until that day. He passed out, and we panicked, but a quick google search revealed this was pretty common. So we kept an eye on him and waited for him to wake up.<br><br>We continued to smoke it every weekend for about 3 months, and we slowly noticed that when we were high on it we would do things that we wouldn't do sober, like steal food and do reckless things because we were reckless teenagers. But we were stupid and continued to smoke it, and slowly everyone would start to feel sick to their stomach. The only way to make it better was to smoke more, because we were all dumbasses who didn't understand drugs and substance abuse.<br><br>One night we were all hanging out and smoking it, and I told them I wasn't going to smoke and drink that night because I had a bad feeling about it. Well, that night I watched one of my friends almost die. They smoked it, got really high, and then they started to feel sick. They took a shot of liquor thinking it would help, and 20 minutes later they were passed out and taking, what I later learned were called, "alcohol seizures". They would be out cold, and then they would start convulsing every so often with no signs of consciousness. They were out cold for a few hours, and we kept a check on them the whole time, thankfully one of my friends understood enough about medical emergency to understand that this was bad.<br><br>After that, we stopped hanging out so much, because this forced us to grow up and start to realize how stupid we were. We were all abusing drugs, and we didn't even realize it. So I decided i would only smoke weed from there on, because I had smoked it before and I knew what to expect. One of my friends who smoked the stuff would continue to do so, and he started to have more and more problems. He would start to rely on it more, and he would smoke it at school to get high off of something. Eventually he got kicked out for possession of drugs, and I lost track of him afterwards. It was a sad thing to see happen, because he was in control of his drug use, but he let it control him. He would steal and lie in order to get more of it, and it completely destroyed him.<br><br>So if you're a kid thinking about trying drugs, don't smoke k2. It's not worth the hassle. I've been smoking weed for about 2 years now, and I've never had a problem with it. Plus cross joints are very cool, so you can focus on cross breeding strains and experimenting with things in a safe and controlled manner. If you're a kid, don't do drugs just yet, you're not ready for them. But if you're going to do drugs, make sure you do them safely. Don't smoke k2, it's not worth it.<br><br>Edit: hey guys it's been a while since I posted this, but I look back on this and i don't regret posting it. I don't condone the use of drugs, and I don't think they should be used recreationally until you're a bit older.<br><br>Also, if you see someone having an emergency from using drugs, call emergency services immediately. Don't try to handle it yourself, because you could end up making it worse. I was young and stupid back then, don't be like me.<br><br>Edit 2: I posted this almost 10 years ago. If you're still smoking this stuff, please stop. I've read these comments for the past decade, and I feel responsible for people who ignored my warning and smoked it anyway. I'm not a doctor, but I was warning people of the dangers of synthetic drugs. If you're still smoking this, please stop.
