The motorist who captured the footage said he was shocked at the pair.
He said: ‘Seeing that on a busy street and near a supermarket is disgusting and more should be done about it.’
Spice use has been growing in Grimsby with the powerful drug leaving users barely able to move or in a catatonic state.
It was previously a legal high however after The Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 was passed last year it is now illegal.
Many other synthetic drugs, such as Black Mamba which produce similar effects to cannabis, have been re-classified as Class B controlled drugs, which has made possession illegal even without intent to supply.
