Mumbai’s youths have turned to a new drug to ‘spice’ up their lives. Sold as a new type of weed, the drug is far from natural, and has cops and doctors worried about its dangerous side effects.
Meanwhile, girls in schools and colleges are flocking to buy it because of a unique feature – it doesn’t show up in drug tests.
Girls,
specially form the biggest market for the narcotic, called Spice or K2 or synthetic weed. Peddlers sell it to them with the promise that it will not be detected in drug tests, allowing users to remain above suspicion.
The drug’s power to remain invisible has allowed it to reach far and wide without alerting doctors or cops. That is, until the daughter of a senior state bureaucrat was caught smoking up in the bathroom.
The 17-year-old’s parents hauled her to Masina hospital for treatment, but doctors were shocked when they found no evidence of this spice in her urine test.
