Spice, also known as herbal highs,  legal highs or herbal incense, has been around for quite a while, but not a lot of people are aware of its beginnings. That’s the same exact reason we’re writing this article today.

See the following for quick tidbits on the history of spice.

In the drug culture, spice, also called synthetic cannabinoids, was first used as a recreational substance in London, UK in 2004, but by 2006, it reached the shores of the United States.

Not long since then, legal highs have become extremely popular among millions of users around the world, mainly due to its vast online supply.

[Note: Synthetic cannabinoids or synthetic legal highs are not designer drugs, for the purpose of this discussion. While PCP, LSD and other designer drugs are designed and developed by research chemists in the laboratories, the history of synthetic cannabinoid or drugs is different from that of designer drugs].

It was first known with the brand name K2 and Spice (2006) in the US, and it was legally sold in the country and online, as people used to believe that it was only a mixture of herbals but with similar cannabis effects.

Spice and K2 dominated the industry.

These products were typically sold in small and colorful sachets or packages and were marketed as herbal incense or a smoking substitute.

To add up to the vibrant and colorful jive of spice blends, they’re themed with packages that give an aura of wholesomeness, including summer of love, the 60s and retro look.

Herbal incense spice looks much like potpourri and herbal tobacco, and so they’re often sold as herbal incense, deodorizer and potpourri, giving off aroma and scenting rooms and spaces.

On their packaging, you’ll find “NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.”

Now, it is estimated that there are more than 200 herbal incense varieties sold worldwide, in head shops, online and on the streets. And because consumers demand for more varieties and better quality, reputable suppliers ensure that these products are of topnotch make all the time.
