Black Mamba is a synthetic cannabis substitute that mimics the effects of marijuana.

It can cause users to hallucinate and suffer from breathing difficulties, vomiting and loss of control over parts of the body.

Although designed to replicate a cannabis high, Black Mamba is much stronger and puts users into a zombie-like state.
