Abstract
Abstract : Synthetic cannabinoids, also known as Spice, have become increasingly popular since they went on the public market in 2004. Due to the inability to detect Spice on routine urine drug screens, easy accessibility online and in local stores, and the legal high it provides, it is appealing to military communities. In addition, soldiers and sailors were among the earliest users of Spice in the United States. Reports describing the adverse reactions, clinical effects, and complications of Spice are limited. The normal effects of Spice are generally similar to the euphoria provided by cannabis. Commonly reported adverse reactions to Spice include paranoia, scleral injection, xerostomia, visual persecutory hallucinations, sedation, and agitation. We present a case of a deployed soldier who had a seizure after smoking Spice while on duty, and just after working with heavy machinery.
