A few months ago, I already saw with my own eyes in public. Young girl about 17yo cannot stand properly at the smoking area. Whole body was trembling, legs giving way.
People were staring at her don’t know what’s wrong, but it’s quite obvious to me she’s high on piaopiao.

HONG KONG – With a tap on their phones, teenagers in Hong Kong are using messaging apps to buy drugs that they inhale by way of vaping.
Chris, a 19-year-old vocational student, told The Straits Times: “At the time, I thought I was just vaping.
“It was only afterwards that I found out it was called ‘space oil’.”
He was first introduced to space oil by a friend in January 2024. It sparked the beginning of a months-long downward spiral into drug abuse.
“We’d usually pool our orders and buy a hundred capsules at a time through a dealer on WhatsApp,” said Chris, who wanted to be known only by his first name.
His account is one among hundreds of young Hong Kongers who have found themselves hooked on the new recreational drug.
The drug’s accessibility and affordability appeal to the youth, as dealers promote it on social media, communicate through messaging apps and make it easy for cash-strapped students to buy it in small amounts, social workers and experts told ST.
