MS13's Toxic Weed That’s 'More Addictive Than Cocaine' | High Society
Ойын-сауық
VICE travels to Honduras to meet the infamous MS13 gang and learn about a supposedly powerful new drug that is making them millions. Tiburón or “Shark” is a chemically-altered weed that is said to be more addictive than cocaine and sells like hotcakes. What chemical is used to create this effect remains a mystery.
Through spending time with the gang, their clients, their enemies and the Narcotics squad policing it, we learn about the impact this dangerous new drug has had on Honduras. Crucially, we take the toxic weed to a lab to discover if there truly is a secret chemical at the heart of Tiburón.

I'm going on 5 and a half years clean from 10 long years of heroin and fentanyl patch addiction so I know the struggle. I needed suboxone for 3 years to ween me off theres no way i could do it any other way but I made a total 180 degree change in life and am doing so much better. Glad u did to buddy. Theres definitely more to life than addiction but in Mexico they dont have much to strive for so I kind of understand them getting high. They forget they are poor and hungry and destitute when high so its probably harder for them. I had things to live and get sober for here in canada.

My experience with mystery synthetic is that is is something unique. Like, I could not stop smoking it. Until we ran out. That is definitely part of the problem. This drug, like internet purchased "synthetic" before made illegal, is like weed....but with a three minute high or "relaxation" combined with a crack like feeling of wanting more, that a traditional pre-roll or joint does not offer. There is something different here and it is bad. So happy the regular stuff is legal where I live and it is fine.

ehh i smoke weed, I don't agree with these other drugs, but i do support that they should be legal and regulated, regulation is the only way, make it illegal's, punish people, all you do is push such activity's into secrecy, and allow no accountability on manufactures, without regulation, you have people buy something thinking its one thing but its another thing, sell weed, sell laced weed its the same punishment, if it was regulated this would not happen. all drugs should be legal and regulated for the safety and security of all people, not just the ones who use the drugs. It would make it harder for kids to get too, you would need an ID to buy it, a license to sell it, and produce it. the job of the government should not be to punish those who sell or use drugs of any kind, it should be to educate its population on the dangers of using the drugs, while also ensuring those who use their free will to choose to use a drug are as safe as they can be. not only would this lead to less drug related deaths, and insure the safety of citizen's, it would also take money from criminals and stimulate the economy through taxation of the drugs.

Ms. Vice, I’d really like to see you send a sample to a more sophisticated analytic lab for testing, since it doesn’t sound to me (as a non-smoker) like regular weed with a high THC content. There are plenty of psychoactive drug academic researchers with the equipment that could do this. Hamilton Morris may or may not be your guy, but I bet he knows someone. It wouldn’t solve the MS problem, or Honduras, but at least people would know what drug (or pollutants) they’re dealing with. On a larger scale, a public analysis lab could do a LOT of harm reduction. The US won’t allow this currently because they believe it would help dealers - and they’d rather hurt them than help their citizens.

It’s spice. The reason spice has remained legal are the compounds that are constantly being altered. This way the drug tests won’t pick up anything, until scientist’s figure it out. This sounds like the drug has been dramatically altered to the point where it has different effects than normal spice and is harder for scientists to figure out how to test it.

This was the most half assed story I've seen in awhile, they talk to a handful of people (not including actual MS13 members or politicians they accused) and couldn't even identify what is in it, they actually tried concluding it is just strong weed (14% THC is not strong at all).

Ended up selling n buying properties in South LA finally decided to start dealing with the stockmarket.

Holy crap. Haven't heard about 18st since I was living in one of many warzones in Albuquerque in the early/mid 90's. They were a very prominent gang and basically ran my neighborhood. Some of their members were as young as 12-13. Was in middle school at the time and, remember multiple classmates claiming to be a part of the gang. Drive-by's were super common back then too. Remember when a couple classmates got shot on Halloween in 92' that killed one and the other ended up hospitalized for months. Gang activity and culture/violence was so much bigger in those days than it is now.

It's weed sprayed with sythetic cannabinoids. The anti drug agencies and labs in Honduras aren't well funded so ofcourse they couldn't test for it. The EU has a list with over 270 of them. Last I checked you can go to Erowid and there is a forum post where there are details about a service were you can send the drugs anonymously to a lab for testing. If anybody from Honduras sees this comment, it might be worth to send there for testing. They have data on the most obscure research chemicals that were discovered even only a few years ago.

That’s one brave journalist. No fear-just jumps right into the action. That’s journalism right there, folks.
Logically it makes sense. Weed is not selling internationally anymore with legalization, so find a way to make it addictive and revenue generating locally. With that, they can export more of the coke which garners a way higher price internationally with basically unlimited demand.
Its still hard to beleive places like this exist.
