Inside the Chinese labs where deadly Zombie drug Spice one HUNDRED times stronger than cannabis is being produced and shipped to UK by post

Dealers in the UK can find the chemical behind the "fake weed" online in minutes

A DRUG that turns users in 'zombies' is made in Chinese labs and smuggled to the UK in the post, it has been reported.

Spice, which has been banned in the UK and is 100 times stronger than cannabis, is causing havoc on the streets of the UK and is behind a raft of people suffering severe psychotic episodes, terrifying hallucinations, vomiting and seizures in public.

Investigators for the discovered dealers in the UK can find the chemical behind the "fake weed" - which is smoked by users and can cause them to become sick, violent and disorientated - online in minutes.

Chinese sellers offered to sell a kilo of the drug for £880 - which can net sellers tens of thousands of pounds on the streets.

An investigator met a seller at a grimy lab churning out the drug in an industrial park in a suburb of Shanghai.

He said: "There was an air of dodginess about the meeting. He asked me to come to the lab at midnight and my visit was very cloak and dagger.

"He was sweating ­profusely and very anxious."

A charity has been drafted in to “support” Spice addicted zombies in Manchester as the street drug epidemic becomes too much for cops.

Shocking pictures have shown “frozen” drug users slumped on the city’s streets exposing a widespread problem that’s putting pressure on police officers and paramedics.

Homeless charity Coffee4Craig are on hand through the Easter weekend to relieve the pressure on emergency services, the  reports.

Volunteers will be equipped with snacks and energy drinks as they take care of those incapacitated by Spice.

Last weekend cops in Manchester were called to 60 spice-related incidents in the city centre with ambulances drafted in to deal with dozens of people who had collapsed.

The problem has spread through the nation's cities with reports that about 80 per cent of homeless people living on the streets of Liverpool are addicted to the street drug.

Astonishingly the withdrawal effects of the marijuana substitute are allegedly worse than coming off crack cocaine or heroin, prompting council chiefs to call for an urgent clampdown on the drug.
