One of Britain's youngest Spice addicts has revealed how his abuse of the former legal high is destroying his family.
Jamie Poulton is only 13 but admits that he is addicted to the drug.
The teen began taking a variation of the powerful synthetic cannabis called Black Mamba two years ago after struggling with mental health issues.
Now aged 13 the teenager gets high every day, sometimes smoking the drug until he passes out in a haze.
The youngster from Lincoln says his addiction is having a huge effect on his mum Jennifer and his grandma Teresa who looks after him.
Side effects of Spice can include psychotic episodes, high fever, confusion, convulsions, organ failure, coma and even death.
