Spice Gold and other Spice-Alike Reviews
Unfortunately, Spice and Spice-Alikes are extremely hard to find in the United States right now due to uncertainty of the herb's legal status. As of right now, Spice and all other similar blends are completely legal in the U.S. You should be able to purchase these products from the supplied links. And yes, most of these international retailers WILL send to the U.S. I will continue to post new reviews including Zohai, XXX Chillin, Ex-Ses Platinum, Smoke, Yukatan Fire and some other legal drugs like Salvia, Kratom, Kava Kava and Fly Agaric Mushrooms.

This Salvia Extract is 100% organic from Arena Ethnobotanicals. It's the freshest, most potent 20X Salvia I've had. Within seconds of smoking this stuff, I'm in another world. The smoke is relatively smooth (but not like matters because you're affected before you can even put the bowl down). Experiences include laughing, brief paralysis, time distortions, intense hallucinations, audio hallucinations, paranoia, slowed motor skills, light pulses and visions that can't be explained. These all depend on the amount smoked, your state of mind and your location at the time of consumption. I've had all of these experiences on the 20X Salvia Extract from Arena. If a new trip is your kind of thing, I definitely recommend this stuff. You won't be dissapointed. One to three hits and you'll be somewhere you've never been before.
Side Effects:
The effects usually wear off pretty quickly. It can last anywhere from 5 minutes to a half hour. If you're unfamiliar with the herb, you may feel a number of different things afterwards. You could be shocked, amazed, excited, worried or relieved.

Spice Gold Review:
Spice Gold is a great overall legal herb. The high lasts an average of 4-8 hours. The peak starts between 20 - 30 min. and lasts several hours. You'll experience a deep body high that is relaxing and slightly numbing. There's a slight euphoric feeling and music appreciation is greatly enhanced. Spice Gold right out of the bag smells like honey and marshmallow. It's a light fluffy consistancy that fills up the bag it's packaged in. A little can go a long way. When smoked, it's pretty harsh. It's much smoother when smoked out of a bong. Smells/tastes like mugwart and wood when burning. Though it's not the strongest smoke, it's a great one to start with.
Side Effects:
Slight headaches and grogginess the morning after. Red eyes and dry mouth after an hour or so. Sometimes I'll get the munchies.
Ingredients Include:
Baybean, Blue Lotus, Lion's Tail, Lousewort, Indian Warrior, Dwarf Scullcap, Maconha Brava, Pink Lotus, Marshmallow, Red Clover, Rose, Siberian Motherwort, Vanilla and Honey

Spice Diamond Spirit Review:
Spice recently came out with two new products, Spirit and Diamond Spirit. Spice Diamond Spirit tastes similar to Diamond Vanilla, but it's not as harsh. The taste is actually kinda good this time around. Even though the ingredients include honey, you can't really taste it now. The high comes on in about 30 minutes and is STRONGER than Spice Diamond. The high lasts from 3-4 hours and is totally enjoyable. Great body high that allows your mind to travel. I don't get that mongy couch-lock feeling on Spirit either. This is definitely one of my new favorites. To recap, good taste, great high and long duration!
Side Effects: Sleepiness and hunger after a few hours.
Ingredients Include: Baybean, Blue Lotus, Lion's Tail, Lousewort, Indian Warrior, Dwarf Scullcap, Maconha Brava, Pink Lotus, Marshmallow, Red Clover, Rose, Siberian Motherwort, Vanilla and Honey.

Spice Diamond Review:
Spice Diamond is a lot like Spice Gold. The peak high comes on much quicker, between 10-20 min. and lasts for several hours as well. This high is more intense but doesn't last as long. It begins to die down after 4 hours. During the peak you'll feel a deep body high mixed with a heady high. The thing I like about Diamond is that I'm more active with it. I don't feel as numb as I do with Spice Gold. A lot of people describe this numb feeling as being couch-locked. Smoking Diamond is slightly smoother than smoking Gold. The price is higher and it's harder to keep in stock, but if you can get it, I definitely recommend it.
Side Effects:
Slight grogginess the morning after. Red eyes, dry mouth and hunger after an hour or so.

Spice Tropical Synergy Review:
The first thing you'll notice about Spice Tropical Synergy is that the herbs are totally different. The consistency is less fluffy and more leafy than the previous Spice blends. These new herbs allow for it to burn and last longer. The taste and smokability is greatly improved. The high builds slowly and peaks between 30 - 40 min. It lasts about 5 hours. The experience is similar to that of Spice Diamond, but it's more mellow and euphoric. Music appreciation is definitely heightened, as with all Spice herbal blends. This is my favorite legal herb. The high is good, the duration is good and the herbs are smooth and tastey.
Side Effects:
Slight grogginess the morning after. Red eyes, dry mouth and hunger after an hour or so.
Ingredients Include:
Canavalia Maritime, Leonotis Leonurus, Leonurus Sibiricus, Pedicularis Densiflora, Scuttellaria Nana, Vanilla Planifolia, Zorinia Latifolia, Magnolia Officinalis, Rosa Gallica, Trifolium

Spice Arctic Synergy Review:
Spice Arctic Synergy is very similar to Tropical Synergy as the high lasts about the same time, the high qualities are both great and they're both smooth to smoke. Arctic Synergy is minty and tastes like a menthol cigarette. The ingredients are different and more leafy than the Gold and Diamond herbs. The high begins in about 10 min. and lasts about 5 hours. The experience is a bit heady and trippy. It's also euphoric and very enjoyable. It's isn't quite as strong as Diamond which I like because I can be more active with it. Again, a great blend which is probably my second favorite legal high.
Side Effects:
Slight grogginess the morning after. Red eyes, dry mouth and hunger after an hour or so.

Spice Genie Review:
If you're looking for a cheap, strong blend that doesn't last half your day, this may be the one for you. Spice Genie was released after Diamond, most likely to create a more smokable blend. The taste resembles pumpkin, cinnamon and clove. It's smoother than Gold and Diamond but the high doesn't last nearly as long. The potency is between Spice Gold and Diamond and begins in about 10 min., but only peaks for 2 hours. The experience is euphoric and active while it lasts. I tended to get sleepy rather quickly, though. I personally prefer the Synergy blends.
Side Effects:
Sleepiness. Slight grogginess the morning after. Minimal red eye and dry mouth after an hour or so.
Ingredients Include:
Alchemilla Vulgaris, Kaemferia Galanga, Leonotis Nepetifolia, Pedicularis Procera, Rosa Gallica and Scutellaria Galericulata

Ex-Ses Gold Review:
Ex-Ses Gold is a bit different than the Spice blends. It's potency is similar to Spice Gold but the high is way more heady. It's a great blend to smoke if you're writing, working or just feel like contemplating everything. My mind really runs on this stuff. It's also not as harsh to smoke as the original Spice blends. If you look at the ingredients you'll notice all the fruit extracts in it. This gives it a nice fruity taste. It takes about 20 min. to start feeling this one and the peak lasts about 2 hours. You can also be quite active on Ex-Ses. After peaking, coming down leaves me tired and hungry. I've read that Ex-Ses Gold is the European version of Spike99. Makes sense, as the same logo elements are used.
Side Effects:
Sleepiness and hunger after peaking.
Ingredients Include:
Vanilla (Orchid, Orchidaceae) Baybean (Canavalia Maritima),Blue Lotus (Nymphaea Caerulea & Nymphaea Alba), Indian Warrior (Pedicularis Densiflora), Maconha Brava (Zornia Latifolia), Marshmallow (Althaea Officinalis), Blueberry (Vaccinium Corymbosum), Strawberry (Fragaria), Wild Cherry (Prunus Avium), Pink Lotus (Nelumbo Nucifera), Damiana (Turnera Aphrodisiaca)

Spike99 Review:
Well now that I've gotten Spike99, I can see that it has the same ingredients as Ex-Ses. I figured I'd make it into a joint since I smoked the Ex-Ses out of a bong and pipe. It was smokable but I don't recommend it. It doesn't burn nearly as nice as tobacco or pot. The high is essentially the same as it is with Ex-Ses. So I'm convinced that it's just a new package for a product that's shipped to the US. I had read that Spice originally wrote something about the product being a smoking blend on their original package and had to create new packaging without those words to keep it under the radar. My first Spice Gold pack also had "Do not ship to the US" blacked out with a marker. :) Anyways, I don't have to say much about this blend. If you skipped the Ex-Ses review, go check it out. Same product.
Side Effects:
Sleepiness and hunger after peaking.

Spike99 Ultra Review:
Spike99 Ultra is strong, but not too strong. The high begins after 15-20 min and lasts about 4 hours. For some reason, times vary with Ultra. I've had highs that lasted 6 hours and some that last only 3. Strange that this one in particular would vary more than the other blends. I haven't taken into account eating times or foods consumed before ingesting, but then again, I haven't done this with any of the blends. This high, as with Spike99 regular, is very heady. Music sounds great, thoughts run wild and the body tingles. This high is pretty close to a marijuana high. There's slight paranoia with Ultra. At least, that I have experienced. I can remain active and productive on it, but don't feel that it's necessary to do anything. Ultra allows me to chill without the couch lock. Overall, it's a great blend. It ranks up there with Spice Diamond. Diamond's high, on average, lasts longer and is slightly stronger, but the Ultra is much smoother to smoke and affects your creativity and mind a bit more.
Side Effects: Sleepiness and hunger after a few hours.
