The A-Z Guide to recreational drugs from Fantazia

If you are new to drugs then an interesting place to start some research would be to look at the Fantazia A-Z Guide to recreational drugs.  With over 60 pages of information on various drugs from the commonly used ones in the UK to some more bizarre ones (like one where you lick a toad).  We have recently updated the section with a page on Mephedrone.

The Drugs Guide also includes some more fun things, like links to our Recreational Drugs Top Trumps style game and other drugs games from the internet.  There is also links to our design your own drugs t-shirts and the Fantazia Drugs forum for a lively discussion on the latest news stories.

A-Z Recreational Drugs Guide

Its confirmed Mephedrone is to be banned in weeks

True to form in a knee jerk reaction the government has banned the "legal high" Mephedrone.  Once the tabloids sensed a story the government inevitably caved in to media pressure.  The lurried headlines claiming more and more deaths linked to the drug seem reminiscent to the old rave days reactionary headlines towards Ecstasy.   Many of those later turn out to be false and in the case of Leah Betts the misinformation actually lead to deaths.

I wonder how many of the Mephedrone deaths will turn out to have been caused by other factors......will this make people safer?  I doubt it, it will just mean people will end up buying less pure versions illegally or move to the next legal plant food.
