REAL TALK

We feel it’s important that we give genuine, down to earth students the chance to voice their opinions so we met with Scott, 23, and Will, 21. They took part in our survey where students were given the chance to re-class UK drug laws and said they’d be up for going into more detail. So we sat down in the park for a chat about drugs, culture and legalisation. What’s your stance on the current drug laws?

Scott: I think with pills and things that if you legalise them you’d be able to control what substances you put in them, you know most of the deaths, say at warehouse have been because of PMA or a lack of education. So, if you educate people and control the substances you can make it safer for people at the end of the day. That the way I see it… you also don’t have to go down some dark alley to meet some dodgy guy.

Legalising would most likely end up with the pills being taxed and prices would go up, is that not something you’d worry about?

Scott: I guess that’s just the consequence of making them safe I guess. I mean you could overdose on paracetamol and that’s out there to be bought, so that’s what the education is gotta be really… tolerance. Which should be taught at high school level really, where at the moment they don’t do it at all and that’t it.

Will: Addiction plays a key role I think, I mean people on heroin are just prescribed methadone rather than given genuine help with addiction. There’s no logic in replacing an addiction to one drug with an addiction to another drug, if you know what I mean.

“I’ve never really seen anyone fuck it off ket..”

So you run your own night, have you ever came across people who have pushed themselves over the limit at you events?

Scott: I’ve not seen anyone really fuck it, to be honest, the worst i’ve seen is someone been carried away on a stretcher at boomtown but not really at my nights.

You opted for Ecstasy, Ketamine, Cannabis, Magic Mushrooms, Minor Tranquillisers, Amphetamine and Laughing Gas to be made legal on our survey…’ Scott: Yeah the only one I didn’t put was Coke, because it’s controlled by such a hierarchy of criminals I don’t think it legalised realistically.

Will: There’s no actual benefits of Coke either like it’s very, very addictive and a lot of money to buy. I’d say on pills though, they should be de-criminalised because I seen guys that take like around ten a night and that’s pretty fucking nuts. And if you are taking ten pills a night there is more of a risk that one of them could be dodgy, which is due to the fact that they’re not regulated, you don’t know how strong they are and a lack of drug education.

Scott: Obviously, Ket as well…

…Yeah about the Ket, I mean that’s an interesting choice for somone who’s runs a club night? Scott: Well, I’ve never seen anyone really fuck it off Ket…

Will: To be fair, I’ve seen a pretty bad side to Ket, I mean when I was younger my mates used to do it quite a lot and I does have a bad effect on your body, not necessarily when you’re taking it but generally it can give you bladder problems. I’ve seen that they’re giving it to treat depression now, I seen it in an article that Ketamine in smalls doses can treat depression and I can really relate to that because there’s been times when I’ve been out before and thought ‘don’t think this night is gonna be good for me’, but then I’ve had a bit of Ket and been like ‘WOW, all my problems have gone away’

There’s been articles about Psychedelics treating depression and addiction recently, what are your thoughts on that? Will: I absolutely, massively agree. Magic Mushrooms and Acid. I’ve took acid 3 times before and two of the times have been the most life changing experiences of my life and the other time was great but for one hour during it, it was the most west thing ever but after that it was amazing. But yeah I really think that magic mushrooms and the outlook they give you, not even when you are having it but afterwards as well.

Scott: Yeah, Ive had a lot of like brainstorms and great ideas when I’ve had Shrooms. I kind of wish I was an artist because it makes me feel really creative like I just want to start drawing!

Hear, Hear.

Will: I think the one thing the human race needs is more chance to expand their consciousness. MDMA as well like I seen some video where this woman with PTSD takes it in controlled circumstances and she was like ‘Ah man, I’m so sorry for all they trouble I’ve caused you over the years and could make sense of her actions more after taking it and appreciates everything around her. Scott: I mean if it’s controlled and it’s pure cool, but stuff you get off the streets now is like rocket fuel, it’s a bit too much, it can make you feel a bit grim.

What do you guys think about spice?

Scott: Spice! Everyone knows how bad spice is at the moment, I don’t know what it’s like to take i mean I’ve never touched the shit, doesn’t look like a good time though. Will: I’ve actually took spice before, I think it was called Abomination but I didn’t have a bad experience myself but it’s not something I’d do regularly. I feel like the whole concept of having drugs like Weed being illegal has made drugs like Spice come about. Which isn’t good because it’s really bad for you whereas Cannabis has been proved to be really beneficial. I think weed should be straight up legal man, the rest of them can just be decriminalised. Scott: If weed was legal, everyone would be just longing out on the streets instead of looking like the walking dead. It would benefit the government as well but I think the prices could sky rocket if they did which would ruin it a bit.

A really honest and insightful pair of opinions from a couple of students who are very much apart of student culture and nightlife. They brought up some really good points, especially about education on drugs because that it something that can very easily be integrated into schooling more. It’s no secret that a lot of people experiment with drugs. Is it not time that society acknowledges this, instead of brushing it under the carpet? Start preparing people rather than deterring people?

Painful periods, trapped tampons. When mother nature strikes, she strikes hard, and this is someting all of us gals know to be (quite literally) painfully true. We wanted to hear about your run-in’s with the lady herself, and spoke to Holly about her period nightmares. What’s your name and when did you first start your period? Hi, I’m Holly. And I first started my period when I turned 14.

Where were you when you had your first period? I was in high school in one of my lessons and I remember thinking jesus my stomach hurts, a pain that i still can’t describe today. But I just had a weird feeling that it might of been my period. Then suddenly I thought ‘shit, I best get to the toilet, and fast.

Have you ever had a negative experience with your periods? Yes, it was horrible. The best way I can start by describing it is the worst experience of my life. It was just a normal day on the blob, probably about half way until through until I was about to come off, I had a horrible 10 hour shift at work, and when I finished work I went home and was rushing to get ready for a party, I quickly went to change my tampon before I left and I couldn’t find the string, I just thought ‘FUCK’. I started panicing trying to remeber when I last put one in or whether I had forgot, but no there was defnintley one in there. I realised I that I had left it in for nearly 24 hours, and thats when I knew this could be serious. I screamed for my mum and she couldn’t see it either. The pain was excruciating, I’ve never honestly felt that sort of pain in my life, I can’t even begin to describe it.

What happened after that? Did you manage to get it out? Well, I knew I needed to get the hospital and fast. So my mum rushed to a&e (i’ve never seen her drive so fast before) and I was nearly first to be seen, which scared me even more because that meant it was serious. I saw the doctor and they said it was stuck because it had been left for so long and had collected too much blood and become to heavy to pull out. But they needed to get it out of me as soon as possible otherwise there was a risk that I could have died.

How did they take it out? So the nurse came in next to inject me with some numming shit so it would be less painful, I had a load of painkillers and that was it, that was all they gave me, and then it was time. The doctor came in with what felt like the worlds biggest pliers. They put my legs on those straddle things, I felt like I was giving birth. When he started pulling it out I honestly nearly fainted from the pain. If giving birth is anything like that pain, then I don’t want any children.

So from your own horror period experience can you give anyone a piece of advice? Well, I would definitley start by saying, dont leave your fucking tampon in for too long. But seriously sharing stories like these with other women made me realise that I didn’t actually need to feel as embarrased as I did on that day, because although my story is probably a bit ‘out there’ every woman has a period, so every woman has a story.

So in a short sentence summarise your sex lives with being at university. R: Well i started university on 7, I'm now on 31. It was pretty fuckin’ rapid to say the least. E: I was a virgin and now i’m on 8. but nothings happened lately, its pretty much non existent. K: I don’t know.. Colourful. Very colourful. M: Brief. Very brief. They just never really stick around for long to be fair.

What was your most memorable lay since being at university? R: It wasn't so much the best as in orgasm wise, because i didn’t orgasm, but it was like super rough, we were like sniffing cocaine of each other. We were doing coke and ket and then having sex. I think he had the courage to fuck me when he was coke’d up. But it wasn’t even good sex really it was just aggressive, I think he called me a slut a few times. Cocaine was everywhere it was like it was in a fucking movie, so rock and roll. E: Honestly the best and worst one would have the be the same one, he went down on me for hours but then his dick was so big, and he was like do you wanna go on top? and I was like “to be honest bab I think I need a break.” Oh my god I couldn't walk the next day. K: Many an orgasm... Bare with me I need to think about this. So there was this guy called Ollie, they’re all called Ollie. He was a uni of student, and he was from Brighton. I don’t know what that does to him, but that does something. And yeah, he just knew his shit. He just understood the female vagina, he understood just keep your fucking mouth down there. It’s as if he had a vagina and knew exactly what he wanted from it. He lasted long, and fucking hell I couldn’t cough for week when I had that one.. Ice packs were involved. M: The most memorable was the most god awful all night stand. It was the epitome of a one night stand, textbook. Random night out, got very drunk, got chatting to this guy in the smoking area. Next thing I knew we were at his in my old uni halls. We cut to the chase pretty quick you could say, it’s clear this guy wasn’t into wining and dining. Got in there, thrusted a few times, and he pulled the standard “gotta be up early in the morning….” And peered at me. I think it’s probably politer to ask a gal to leave than to beat around the bush like that.

It’s a common presumption that students are having a lot of sex. Is this true? R: From my personal experiences, yes. I know a lot of people who came to university and were virgins, and now they’re blossoming on the field! It’s really fucking easy to get a shag. Like very very easy. E: I would say yes and no. I was getting a lot first term but like this term has been very dry. K: Since being at uni my longest dry spell was 2 months. So yeah I guess students do get a fair bit. M: Definitely not. When everyone says students get a lot of sex, that’s such a lie. We’re so busy, if you commit to your sex life you’ll be fine. If you have a fuck buddy who’s efficient then you’re onto a winner. You have a lot of 2 week affairs at uni.

We asked students to tell us about their sex lives. How about the worst sex you’ve had during your time at Uni? R: The first bad one, someone was going down on me and he bit my clit. I was like “what are you doing!?” but the worst possible one that happened to me, I slept with some guy and he was like proper rough…. like…. sore rough, to the point where I was bleeding. He bit my neck so much it was like someone had been throttling or strangling me. I woke up the next morning and my labia had swelled up like a third lip. I had frozen peas on my vagina for a good 2 days. E: When I slept with this guy he made me go on top the whole time, I kept banging my head on his low ceiling. I lost brain cells, I felt retarded afterwards and he was just shit. He just lay there the whole time. It was terrible. K: It’s going to have to be two pump chump. We were at a house party, he was putting in the ground work for about 2 hours. We went for a cig and I had to finally suggest that we leave. We arrive at mine and get into bed. He laid there listening to the same techno song for about half an hour. Due to this ordeal I fell asleep and he woke me up like “do you wanna have sex”. Finally, I was like “yeah go on then”, went down on him and he was ushering me up as if I was a fire or something. I went on top, and a record breaking 30 seconds later it was over. I was lying there and wanted to go back to the party. He suggested we go back to the party and come back to mine after. I told him that wouldn’t be the case. We got back to the party, and the party was over. He wouldn’t leave, so it came to the point where I had to pay for his uber home just to get rid of him. M: Erm, so. I had just been through a breakup and thought I’d dabble in tinder (egged on fully by my housemate). I’d never had a one night stand before, and got chatting to a beautiful model (I know. A bad lay, and a model, hear me out). Anyway this guy drove up to mine for 2 hours at 3am, so far so good. He arrived, but was just so fucking creative. I love creatives, but Jesus fucking Christ. He practically mopped my face off, all I can say is slimy. The whole ordeal makes my eyes feel dry, I mean it was an experience and then I ended up telling him my life problems. He was lovely about it lol, and actually alright to talk to but there was absolutely 0 sexual attraction on my part anyway. He still messages me to this day, but I’m just not keen at all.

Are students good in bed? R: No, they try their hardest, they really really try. I know I’m great. Ive never had a bad review, 10/10 on trip advisor. But men just don’t know where anything is, unless they’re magicians, they just don’t know what a clit is. The only men that know how to do their shit is art students that do sculpture, because they know were the clit is, because they need to know. I slept with an art student before and he could name every part of the vagina. E: You find that ‘one’ every now and then. But other than that not really. It’s like a lucky dip, its like as much chance as winning the lottery. K: Yes and no, it depends. We’re in a learning environment for a reason. Half the students I’ve slept with it’s like they could be good.. But you can’t shake off the fact that they’ve learnt all of this from porn. The other half? They were born with it. I’ve had someone choke me with my hair once. I thought I was gonna die… It’s all you really want. Am I going to die? Am I going to cum? Watch this space. M: Well, I’ve not slept with very many students. All I’ll say is older men do it well.

“he places both hands on your breasts as if he’s about to fall off a cliff.” What’s the weirdest thing someone has ever asked you to do? R: I had a guy ask me to piss on him once… I would love to do that though, but my piss is quite dilute. I was asked to have sex with someone outside of my primary school, which I then went and did, that was a weird one. We both went to the same primary school and we met up in his car and went to the primary school and ended up having sex outside of his car on the bonnet. It was like 2 in the morning. I was like ‘oh my god my head teachers going to see me’. E: I can’t think of anything really that weird but I remember when I slept with my friend from home. We were out and he was telling me how beautiful I was. Then it got down to it, and we slept together and he was calling me a bitch and telling me to shut the fuck up. I was just lay there like ‘make me’. K: I slept with a guy who was adamant on me fingering his bumhole. That was fucking weird. However, I realise that’s not actually a very uncommon thing for men to ask for. I think that men are secretly keen on the whole bum thing; it’s slowly seeping out of them you know. M: I was on a tinder date with a guy. We ended up grabbing some ketamine (we were very drunk, don’t ask). My drug dealer gave us a lift home so should have prepared myself for a weird one. We sniffed too much ketamine, and I think we had sex. It was all a blur to be fair, but to top off the whole thing I pissed in my sink and fell over. He’s still into me, so that’s pretty sweet.

Vanilla sex. Ellaborate. R: Vanilla sex is when a bloke won’t rim you, like stick a finger up the bum. If you’re not willing to have a little play around and give me a nice little rim then its just dead vanilla, like I don’t just want missionary. I like a good little bit of other holes, not so much a penis because that hurts my tiny arsehole, but a finger up the bum is pleasurable, I can come from a finger up the bum. Vanilla sex is like missionary, straight up. If you go on top the guys like ‘what, like people do this?’ N: Vanilla sex.. So you’ve had sex and then the guy gets back changed into his clothes and gets back in bed. Its like “what are you doing, like.. stay naked?” It’s like they think that when they put their clothes on they think your going to forget what it looks like. Like, I’ve seen it, it’s not some magic trick. If you’re going to put your clothes on then you might as well fucking leave. But vanilla sex, literally when they make you do all the work and they just lie there. I’ll be honest, 80% of the time I cant be fucked, I do definitely like being controlled. I just think “right I’m tired I wanna go to sleep.” K: Vanilla sex… okay so you come back from a night out, he fingers you for 30 seconds as if your vagina is a whack a mole (aka he really doesn’t know what he’s doing.) From that point you’re just like fuck this, go down on him to make it stop. He’s quivering as if he’s just seen a ghost, calling you baby and your vagina dries the fuck out. You go on top, knowing he’s not going to go down on you and just kind of deal with that. Then for the duration of 5 minutes you experience very light spanking, a mild pounding, or my favourite is when he just lies there looking at you and places both hands onto your breasts as if he’s about to fall off a cliff. You get to a point where he’s too nice for you to do anything about it, moan a few times even though you don’t mean it. He’ll ejaculate, spoon, and he falls asleep. You turn around and try to fall asleep. Basically. M: Oh god, there’s been a lot of it. I mean it begins with awful fondling, him thinking he’s bang on the jackpot with locating your clit. He’s actually about 3cm out but let the poor boy keep some dignity. You go down on him, he jumps on top and thinks he’s absolutely pounding you in missionary. Thrilling. Then kind of just flops himself down onto the bed and at this point you know the drill. That’s your cue to jump on top ladies. You jump on in the hopes to salvage any chance you had of cumming, and he ejaculates before you can even get yourself in the zone. Great. Shit spooning, and he leaves.

We spoke to 4 students to get the low-down on what really goes on behind closed doors at University. We talk vanilla sex, bondage and the weirdest bedroom requests...

What’s your stance on the current drug laws? Scott: I think with pills and things that if you legalise them you’d be able to control what substances you put in them, you know most of the deaths, say at warehouse have been because of PMA or a lack of education. So, if you educate people and control the substances you can make it safer for people at the end of the day. That the way I see it… you also don’t have to go down some dark alley to meet some dodgy guy. Legalising would most likely end up with the pills being taxed and prices would go up, is that not something you’d worry about? Scott: I guess that’s just the consequence of making them safe I guess. I mean you could overdose on paracetamol and that’s out there to be bought, so that’s what the education is gotta be really… tolerance. Which should be taught at high school level really, where at the moment they don’t do it at all and that’t it. Will: Addiction plays a key role I think, I mean people on heroin are just prescribed methadone rather than given genuine help with addiction. There’s no logic in replacing an addiction to one drug with an addiction to another drug, if you know what I mean. So you run your own night, have you ever came across people who have pushed themselves over the limit at you events? Scott: I’ve not seen anyone really fuck it, to be honest, the worst i’ve seen is someone been carried away on a stretcher at boomtown but not really at my nights. You opted for Ecstasy, Ketamine, Cannabis, Magic Mushrooms, Minor Tranquillisers, Amphetamine and Laughing Gas to be made legal on our survey…’ Scott: Yeah the only one I didn’t put was Coke, because it’s controlled by such a hierarchy of criminals I don’t think it legalised realistically. Will: There’s no actual benefits of Coke either like it’s very, very addictive and a lot of money to buy. I’d say on pills though, they should be de-criminalised because I seen guys that take like around ten a night and that’s pretty fucking nuts. And if you are taking ten pills a night there is more of a risk that one of them could be dodgy, which is due to the fact that they’re not regulated, you don’t know how strong they are and a lack of drug education. Scott: Obviously, Ket as well… …Yeah about the Ket, I mean that’s an interesting choice for someone who’s runs a club night? Scott: Well, I’ve never seen anyone really fuck it off Ket… Will: To be fair, I’ve seen a pretty bad side to Ket, I mean when I was younger my mates used to do it quite a lot and I does have a bad effect on your body, not necessarily when you’re taking it but generally it can give you bladder problems. I’ve seen that they’re giving it to treat depression now, I seen it in an article that Ketamine in smalls doses can treat depression and I can really relate to that because there’s been times when I’ve been out before and thought ‘don’t think this night is gonna be good for me’, but then I’ve had a bit of Ket and been like ‘WOW, all my problems have gone away’

“...IT WAS THE MOST WEST THING EVER BUT AFTER THAT IT WAS AMAZING!” There’s been articles about Psychedelics treating depression and addiction recently, what are your thoughts on that? Will: I absolutely, massively agree. Magic Mushrooms and Acid. I’ve took acid 3 times before and two of the times have been the most life changing experiences of my life and the other time was great but for one hour during it, it was the most west thing ever but after that it was amazing. But yeah I really think that magic mushrooms and the outlook they give you, not even when you are having it but afterwards as well. Scott: Yeah, Ive had a lot of like brainstorms and great ideas when I’ve had Shrooms. I kind of wish I was an artist because it makes me feel really creative like I just want to start drawing! Hear, Hear. Will: I think the one thing the human race needs is more chance to expand their consciousness. MDMA as well like I seen some video where this woman with PTSD takes it in controlled circumstances and she was like ‘Ah man, I’m so sorry for all they trouble I’ve caused you over the years and could make sense of her actions more after taking it and appreciates everything around her. Scott: I mean if it’s controlled and it’s pure cool, but stuff you get off the streets now is like rocket fuel, it’s a bit too much, it can make you feel a bit grim. What do you guys think about spice? Scott: Spice! Everyone knows how bad spice is at the moment, I don’t know what it’s like to take i mean I’ve never touched the shit, doesn’t look like a good time though. Will: I’ve actually took spice before, I think it was called Abomination but I didn’t have a bad experience myself but it’s not something I’d do regularly. I feel like the whole concept of having drugs like Weed being illegal has made drugs like Spice come about. Which isn’t good because it’s really bad for you whereas Cannabis has been proved to be really beneficial. I think weed should be straight up legal man, the rest of them can just be decriminalised. Scott: If weed was legal, everyone would be just longing out on the streets instead of looking like the walking dead. It would benefit the government as well but I think the prices could sky rocket if they did which would ruin it a bit. You know what guys it’s been really great chatting with you’s. Scott: No worries mate, Ive enjoyed it. Will: Yeah it’s been sweet, man.

It’s great to get really honest and insightful opinions from a couple of students who are very much apart of student culture and nightlife. They brought up some really good points, especially about education on drugs because that it something that can very easily be integrated into schooling more. It’s no secret that a lot of people experiment which drugs. Is it not time that society acknowledges this instead of brushing it under the carpet and try to prepare people, rather than deterring people. Isn’t it time we start acknowledging the qualities of drugs on a more level playing field? It’s clear that certain drugs when taken properly can be really beneficial for your outlook and understanding of life.

The Social Smoker Well, I’ve had many a happy memory on weed. But, me personally it makes me go very, very happy and very very crazy. In the real world, if it was potentially legalised, I don’t see how I could do my day to day things because if i’m smoking weed thats what im doing for that evening or night. I wouldn’t be able to go to work. As opposed to the more you take it the more you get used to it and you can do your own ting so for someone who only takes it as and when, I could never take it again and it wouldn’t bother me. It’s more recreational and fun for me. Personally, it depends on the person because if you’re in a bad place or a good place, anything that enhances anything will enhance that person, whether its drugs, alcohol, excessive exercise, you will bring out whatever you’re already feeling more, I dunno it’s different for everyone. Personally, I’m a barrel of laughs.

The Big Stoner In the evening it’s quite good to relax. I come home and have a beer and a spliff. I enjoy it and it helps me feel normal in this insane world – the same reason I have a beer. In my circle of friends, more people smoke pot than those who don’t, and they all seem to be getting on OK. I like to have a nice strong indica before I go to bed, which can help me get to sleep. If I get up in the morning and smoke a very strong indica I might not be the most productive person. Equally, if I get up in the morning and drink half a bottle of gin I don’t think I would be a very productive person. Because I’m not a tobacco smoker I’m not addicted to cannabis. The only way cannabis is proven to be addictive is psychologically addictive in the same way chocolate can be because it’s nice and moreish. It doesn’t interfere with me. It definitely alters my mental state, but it doesn’t affect what I do. I think the report is bullshit. At the end of the day, you have a work ethic inside you and you are either a lazy bastard or not. On the whole I don’t think it affects my motivation at all. It’s actually, in some ways, quite a good way of making you focus in on something. I think it’s definitely true to say that kids in certain situations are smoking too young and they are already surrounded by bad influences, but I think that’s a lack of education.

The Older Generation I do think it should be legalised but it should be booked, like alcohol. I still believe there should be a lot more education about smoking cannabis. You know, through peer pressure I started smoking cannabis but what I found through my life when I smoked for a while was that, although I’ve been very successful I believe it held me back. I just felt it stops you from expanding into areas because your social life then centres around people who smoke cannabis and then you stop hanging around with people who don’t smoke it. And what goes on now is that it alters your mind and you don’t feel motivated, you can be happy just sitting at home watching tv, and that’s how you can get and that’s how you do get! That’s how I got at a point, I’ll be honest with you, I wasn’t bothered about going out, I could sit in and have a joint. And I thought ‘I don’t drink so I’ll just have this’ but you don’t have to have either of them. I wasn’t socially mature enough to know that, but now being 50 and looking back I just wish I had someone to influence me better and sort of say, ‘look, hang on a minute, there’s another way, you don’t have to do that’. But because you get into it in your teens and the peer pressure, you think it’s the norm, you think it’s cool and it is at the time, but when you get older and you stop and you don’t have the vices anymore you sort of look back and think, did I really need to do all that? No. Should I have used that time to go out and do other things? Yeah, I probably should of. I think it’s like anything, people make their own choicesin life about what they do and if they’re gonna drink, fine. If they’re gonna smoke, fine. But they should also know what the effects of that are and education should follow it.

So do you think weed should be legal or illegal? It’s a difficult question. It wouldn’t affect me but I think people with low intelligence will abuse it. I feel like no one will tell us where the line is and I think if you give someone the candy, it’s alright them looking at it but if you actually give it to them the freedom is too much. It might cause problems. But, look at alcohol, the number of alcoholics goes up every year I could probably become the same kinda thing with marijuana. No one’s died of it yet but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t do things to you, in terms of anxiety and everything that comes with it. I feel like it may cause problems. It could just turn into a tax thing like cigarettes. Cigarettes are just as bad as the rest of the drugs but the governments need it to fund things like the NHS.

Spice has been hitting the headlines a lot recently, most of them being about the problem Manchester has with spice users in the centre of the city. Being from Manchester, we have seen first hand the impact this drug has had and to be honest with you, it looks like we’re on the brink of an apocalypse. As the drug has been strongly linked back to the homeless community, we went to speak to some of the homeless in the city centre and asked them why spice is the drug of choice these days. As soon as we entered the centre, through the backroads of northern quarter, we came across a man slumped over his own body, sat on his ankle. I was surprised that he was still vertical to be honest, because that was some olympic level, gymnastic balance shit right there. I couldn’t see his face but I could see that between his fingers he was holding a spliff and there was no smell of cannabis so there was only one thing for it, Spice. This guy was completely out of it, yet people continued to walk by with disgusted faces and no consideration for this humans well being. I’m not saying they should be prosecuted for using synthetic cannabinoids because this is a public health issue and we wouldn’t want to see the criminal aspects override the public health aspects. Making it illegal will obviously put more users behind bars but, apparently there’s just as much spice in these “correctional facilities” as there is on the streets. They would be off the streets, out of sight and out of the minds of the public but, the addiction problem remains with the user. Are they going to get the guidance they need in prison or will their problem just get worse? Before you know it they’re back on the streets in the same situation as they were before they were prosecuted.

“I was surprised that he was still even vertical...” Soon after, he was aided by paramedics as there was an ambulance parked up at the end of the road, which got me thinking about how much time and money is being spent on helping these people who are overdosing on spice and possibly not being there for people have had accidents within the centre, which aren’t drug related. For instance, as we were walking around that day, an old man tripped on the curb of the street and fell over quite badly, he insisted he was fine but from our angle it didn’t look like good, especially at his age. What if that was more serious? What if he hit his head and needed assistance quickly, but the nearest paramedics were busy trying to get a spice-user into the back of their van? I want the spice addicts to get help but I don’t want our emergency facilities to be absently tending to them daily, when there could be other people in need of their help who aren’t taking drugs.

Is there a level of naivety to think that making legal highs illegal, people will be less inclined to use them, because if people are already in a situation of chaos in their life in general, it would be unlikely you’d see a significant impact in people using them. It doesn’t necessarily impact the users it impacts the supply and where the supply comes from.

We then met a 26 year old called Ryan who had his sleeping bag over his shoulders and was more than happy to speak to us if we sorted him a rollie for his time. He began to explain how he stopped working as a supervisor for events and restaurants in Manchester but had to leave his job because his Mum was sick. He spent time living with his Mum looking after her then eventually her cancer got worse so she couldn’t go on any longer. Paddy was left with his Mum’s house which he couldn’t afford to pay for, he was unable to claim housing benefits successfully because he was 26 and under 25’s get priority. So he started to live on the streets, begging for money so he could get a few nights in a hostel every now and then.

“I saw this guy go blue in the face, he wasn’t breathing, he wasn’t moving, I had to call him an ambulance” .

HERBS

As we continued our venture through the city, we passed a homeless man begging for money so we stopped to see if he would speak to us about the spice problem. He dismissively refused and told us that talking ain’t cheap. It’s the contrast of his reaction compared to the next homeless person we came across which made us realise that he probably had something to hide.

NOT SPICES

We asked him if his situation and lifestyle has ever pushed him towards taking Spice. He told us that he’d had two drags once and it gave him the worst panic attack he’s ever had and that he’s never done it since and never will. He wanted to just grab the legs of the people walking by him and beg them to help him because the guy he was smoking with he’d fell into a temporary coma-like state. He continued to explain how he has been around a lot of homeless people who take spice and the effects are worse than any drug he’s ever seen before. “I saw this guy go blue in the face, he wasn’t breathing, he wasn’t moving, I had to call him an ambulance”. He felt very strongly about making spice illegal but and he wished Marijuana was legal so the homeless could smoke that rather than Spice. I can see why the homeless would want to take spice, as it numbs the senses and gives them a break from the reality of their situation and they see it as a way to cope with the conditions on the streets. With the cost of Spice being so cheap, they must see it as a small price to pay to get away from their problems for a little while. But with withdrawal symptoms worse than Heroin and irritability worse than Crack, over-whelming anxiety worse than Marijuana and no food in their bellies, it can’t be ignored that this is a public health issue which needs to be nipped in the bud now before it gets even worse. We need more shelters, we need more hostels, we need more solutions for people with addiction dependency and stricter laws on how this drug is distributed. For many of these people, their cups of change are either half empty or half full. It seems like those who see their cups as half empty will continue to smoke spice because they don’t see anything getting better any time soon but, those who see it half full will respect what contributions they are given and use that to buy a meal or a night in a hostel; not everyone who lives on the streets uses spice. There is a lot of people who have been dealt a bad hand in life and now they’re trying their best to get their lives on track so please support your homeless community.

Don’t just give change, drive change.

Nicotine is the only drug that eclipses alcohol and marijuana as the most commonly used drugs in the U.K. So, it makes sense that the two are also the most common drugs to be used together. Although most people probably have a preference of which drug they prefer, you most likely wouldn’t have to go very far to get a firsthand account of what it’s like to be high on alcohol and marijuana at the same time. Using alcohol and marijuana at the same time is often referred to as “cross fading”, “a whitey”, “a pale one” or a straight up flop. Some people will mix the two because they enjoy the unique high it gives them. For others (or most of us), they are already so intoxicated with alcohol that they are no longer making rational decisions. To them, taking a toke of a joint seems like a no brainer at the time, although most tend to regret this later. While many students may not be able to tell you what the context of their current assignment is, what they most probably can tell you is that smoking grass before glass, you’re in the clear, while glass before grass, well... isn’t as advisable. So if you just so happen to find yourself taking that joint off your mate Sam after a heavy one swinging down the Carlsberg’s out on the town, you’re probably gonna wonder what the f*ck is going on and how to make this whole thing stop. Well fear not, friend. We’ve got the lowdown to make sure you’re covered the next time you find yourself confronted with a sloshy situation.

Step 1. This seems obvious, but we’ll point it out anyway, Get pissed. Step 2, think that you’re not anywhere near as pissed as you are (which let’s be honest, is most of us anyway). Now, entertain the thought of a spliff. Let’s be honest fellow stoners, it’s to our understanding that a joint can never harm you, so we don’t judge your thought process here. Step 3, tempted? Invite the boys back to your yard. You’ve got a fresh 20 bag that you sorted before the night cos you’re a f*ckin legend. Organised? We think so. Again, seemingly obvious, but roll up a big one, gotta stick by that pride. King L? Let’s go one up, roll up a king F. Your mate Sam always thinks he can skin up a better one than you, so time to put that c*nt in his place. Step 4 swings by and the joint is rolled to perfection and it’s ready to spark. Let’s get this show on the road. You pull the joint; it’s creamy and perfect. 10/10 roll given your current state and given Sam a real run for his money, pass that sh*t around with pride.

First sign of a whitey? It’s Step 5. It’s your turn on the joint again. You minds telling you no, but your body is telling you yes. Alarm bells, since when have you ever said no to a spliff? To be fair, this isn’t you at all. You man up, and pull your sh*t together, and toke the god damn joint. Momma didn’t raise a quitter after all. It’s Step 6 now, and your body has switched to team no. Bad move. Real bad move. Your momma is now screaming in your head, you hear the resignating echo of the dreaded “I told you so”, laced with self-pity and nausea. Nausea.. about that, that would be Step 7. Your mates pick up on your skin colour. The word ‘whitey’ now makes so much sense. You get up to check out your newly-founded complexion, a shade or two above porcelain. In other words, White A.F. Don’t panic, because you’ve got more pressing matters. Step 8 called.. that kebab you devoured about 45 mins ago? He said it’s on it’s way back up. Get your ass to the toilet, and quickly. Step 9. If your friends haven’t identified your less-than-well state by now, it’s time to come clean. Ditch your pride, and admit defeat by that hefty king F. Fuck Sam and what he thinks, and send yourself to bed. All you can do is ride that whitey out. Ride the wave fam. If this isn’t a total mental simulation of the waltzers, it definitely feels that way.

“Rule 1 of the whitey?

Never learn from a whitey.” You’re up to Step 10, our advice from here? Ride it out champ. Hang that head proudly over the toilet bowl until your stomach can churn no more. This is where sh*t can get pretty messy, and you may find yourself re-visiting this step later on in the process. Step 11, turns out that manoeuvring briskly isn’t what the doctor ordered at all, introducing you to the unmistakable head spin. A common identifier of the whitey, you will find your mates asking “is ya head spinnin bare n that kid?” or “do u just feel like bare ill n sick fam?”

WE HAD AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ANTHONY JONES, THE MAN BEHIND THE BRAND THAT IS SIN CITY. WE TALK INSPIRATION, FUTURE PROSPECTS, AND AMBITIONS FOR SIN CITY.

Hi! If you could start by telling us a little bit about yourself. My name is Anthony Jones (AJ) A.K.A Mr Sin. I was born and raised (dragged up) on the biggest council estate in Europe... Wythenshawe. All I see around me is sin. You can only imagine...

So, what encouraged you to create a brand like Sin City? Round here a lot of the boys take 1 of 2 pathsâ&#x20AC;ŚTry and get a trade or a decent 9-5 or take the sinners route which most are influenced by on the estate. Because when it comes down to it.. who the fuck wants to work for someone else?

Who or what would you say inspired the foundations of your brand? Growing up on my estate we didn’t look up to the straight goers wasting their life away waiting for Friday night come round so they can go and talk broken biscuits to the same helmets in the local boozer week in week out. We looked up to the bad boys who were living life always having a buzz; Driving nice cars, motorbikes, wearing fresh clothes, the hottest chicks, flying abroad whenever, that’s what we wanted a piece of. Some of my good mates are paying the price, the rest are living nice. If you want the finer things in life you’ve got to roll the dice…that’s the same for every other estate and city in England.

Asides Sin City, what do you get up to day to day? What do I do? I’m spinning a few plates at the moment. Working on the brand, making some music and doing bits and bobs as a fashion model.... (Long story how I got into that).

Tell us about your target audience. I’d say the target audience is people who can relate the brand, our look and where we came from. I’d like to see all the other cool kids rocking it too (Bikers, Artists, Skateboarders, BMXers, Rappers, DJs, Boxers, MMAs, Surfers ETC).

“Growing up on my estate we didn’t look up to the straight goers wasting their life away waiting for Friday night come round so they can go and talk broken biscuits to the same helmets in the Local boozer week in week out.”

And why did you choose to launch a clothing line in particular? I’ve always been into clothing, and I think being a model also inspires me. I’ve always wanted to launch a clothing line and I’ve had the idea for Sin City for years. I wasn’t 100% sure as to how I was going to move with it. It could have taken the form of a music label, a clothing line, a movie, but here we are and the ball is rolling but I want to get fucking stuck in with all of those creatives out there!

And why did you choose to launch a clothing line in particular? A lot of things made me want to launch a clothing line. Model life, general interest and just general ambition. I always wanted my own business, and clothing is something I’m passonate about. Put two and two together, and you have a brand.

If you had to pinpoint what your influences were, what would they be? I like to think that I take my influences from a lot of places. Mainly, it’s my surroundings, my crew, reality. Just every day life in the city of Sin.

What do you think is ‘trendy’ at the moment for people our age? Everything is trendy as we live in such a diverse world. Everyone has their own thing going on which is great. We’re a generation of creatives, with pure phorographers, clothing lines, DJ’s, film makers. This is a proper creative generation and I want to work/collaborate with them all.
