See The Life in the British Resort plagued by wave of Drugs which turn People into 'zombies'
Blackpool is famous for its tourist resort but drug use is rife in the area, an investigation has found.
Fun-seekers to Britain’s most popular seaside resort will be in for a shock.
Blackpool has been hit by a terrifying wave of drug taking that can turn users into zombie-like figures.
The Sunday People has discovered the formerly legal high known as Spice is on sale for just £10 a gram.
The shocking revelation comes just days after disturbing pictures of users collapsed in the street and asleep in a plant pot were published.
Dubbed green heroin for its corrosive impact on addicts, Spice can cause seizures, blackouts and even death.
Some believe banning the synthetic cannabinoids and sending it underground into the hands of street pushers has made the drug even more dangerous.
In Blackpool we found it was no more difficult to get hold of than a postcard or a stick of rock. A man sleeping rough in a doorway, who gave his name as Lee, rolled a cigarette and said he could easily source some for a tenner.
According to the Mirror Uk, he said He has been smoking Spice for two years but wishes he had never started.
He said: “It’s addictive, man. It just gets you. It’s really cheap. I can get it easy enough. I’ve seen people get nasty on it.
“I wish I could stop but it’s powerful stuff. Just about all the homeless people around here take it.”
Spice first appeared on the streets two years ago but has been outlawed as a class B drug with a maximum five years’ jail for possession.
Last year the death of homeless Nicholas Williamson, 34, was reportedly linked to Spice. Nicholas, of North London, was found dead near Trafalgar Square. He had been trying to quit the drug but said the withdrawal made him “feel like killing people”.
