Durham Police are warning that its use can result in severe nose bleeds, nose burns, hallucinations, blood circulation problems, rashes, anxiety and paranoia, fits, delusions and can lead to a heart attack.

But a police report - some of which was based on online forums about the drug - revealed a lad in Durham had tried to rip off his testicles after taking it.

There's a bunch of kids in the UK high-fiving each other right now that the cops and The Sun are reporting this incident of testicle sack mutilation as fact.

The drug may well be causing a terrible amount of damage to users, but it's hard not to reminded of another British drug hysteria outbreak.

The drug purportedly affected an area of the brain called "Shatner's Bassoon" (altering your perception of time), can give you a bloated neck due to "massive water retention"....and..."…you can puke yourself to death on this stuff — one girl threw up her own pelvis-bone"
