  • Spice - often dubbed ‘fake’ or ‘synthetic’ cannabis - is made from dried plant material, chopped up herbs and man-made chemicals.

    Some of the ingredients in Spice are similar to those in marijuana, but the substance is often much more potent.

    It was invented in the US by an organic chemist who was looking for a new way of developing anti-inflammatory medication.

    One of the substances included the synthetic cannabinoid ‘JWH-018’.

    The substance was declared unfit for human consumption in 2006, but it began being sold on the internet two years later, advertised as a plant fertiliser.
