Spiceheads is a Facebook page, Twitter account and website founded and created by Captain Richard
Williams aka Steven Howarth, which is dedicated to publishing photographs and videos of people who appear to be under the influence of illegal
drugs.
Williams had filmed a video that he called The Crab man on the Blackpool crossing in April
2018, which had so many hits on his personal Facebook page, it inspired him to build the Spiceheads Facebook pages, Spiceheads Twitter page and Spiceheads website.
The Facebook page soon gained over
10,000 loyal followers, with a Twitter following of
57,000, by using photos and videos of people "who appeared to be under the influence of NPS (
Spice)" from all over Britain, including Barnsley, Doncaster Manchester, Bolton, Sheffield and Blackpool and currently has 49,897 Facebook followers, with Twitter having 54,400 followers, as of 24/06/
2020
The Spiceheads name has gained notability through
google and
Bing search engines, where their Website, Facebook and Twitter pages are the top 3 on page one, along with being used as the reference standard by Nottinghamshire Live News, which reported about a copycat page Spice Ed's, and said "The new site is similar to the
long-established Spiceheads website, which has been educating people about related issues for a number of years"
