‘Spice’ is a herbal blend which was freely available in the UK until December 2009 after which it was classified as a Class B drug. The Spice product range includes ‘Gold’ and ‘Diamond’ and a very limited number of reports have identified that these contain non-traditional cannabinoids. We have determined for the first time the components of Spice ‘Gold Spirit’ using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy and also explored a potential screening approach using Solid Probe Mass Spectroscopy which requires no liquid–liquid extraction. This methodology has the potential to facilitate the accelerated screening of illegal components in ‘Spice’ and other related herbal-type products.
