A homeless man holds out his hand to show a bag of spice he says he has bought for £20 , which he describes as a single day's supply for himself . An epidemic of abuse of the drug spice by some of Manchester's homeless population , in plain sight , is causing users to experience psychosis and a zombie-like state and is daily being witnessed in the Piccadilly Gardens area of Manchester , drawing large resource from paramedic services in the city centre .
