Governments make things worse as always

Talking of legal highs, now Methadrone has been banned by the previous government it is being announced by hospitals that one of its replacement drugs is now much worse, with symptoms being more adverse and with more hospital casualties.  Ivory Wave create feelings of hallucinations and agitation and sometimes aggression which doesn't sound very specific.

History is littered with these stories of meddling leading to worse creations and more deaths and destruction.  Heroin was invented as a substitute to Opium only to discover it was in fact more addictive not less. Lea Betts died due to misunderstanding advice about the consumption of water whilst taking ecstasy.

Isn't it time the government stopped making the youth into lab rats and started offering them an alternative that was tested, graded and safer than stuff labelled as plant food? Products with government warning labels  and heavy taxation are the way forward.

If you invented a new legal high what would you call it? What legal use would it have?

If you were a mad bad scientist and had just invented a new legal high what name would you give it?  What would you legally describe it to be used for (to stop it being banned)?

Will California vote to legalise Cannabis?

California already has fairly lax rules on Cannabis and it is available by prescription already, been in a forthcoming public vote people will be given the chance to vote to make the drug legal.  The war on drugs in America has been lost and the huge waste in resources locking people up can't reasonably been continued indefinitely can it?  Turning otherwise law abiding citizens into criminals makes no sense to me for a drug that is generally accept to be less harmful than alcohol.  Its not clear event if the vote is a yes where the Federal Government (President Obama) will over rule it.

Scientists are not happy!

It looks like the governments new anti drug campaign has made the scientist community none to happy. The stereo typing on them as mad evil types is not one they like.....

Crazy Chemist Campaign warning students against legal highs

The government have this week launched a campaign warning students about the dangers of legal highs. Whilst all eduction is good and helps to give an informed choice to people, in the past these campaigns have often be seen by the young adult target audience as making drugs cool.  Also if the message is too strong and does not match the reality when people actually experiment with them, then the cry wolf effect could actually damaged any future drug advice the government might want to give on drugs that are actually dangerous.  I am sure that this was the case with Ecstasy in the early 90's.

Do drugs make you ugly? Dramatic change in some...

Bit of a shocker but is this typical and do they have the same effect on all or are these people just not looking after themselves?  Well I won't be doing Meth so not sure I will ever know thank god, but for the people in the video I hope it can be reversed!

George Michael goes to prison for Cannabis crash

Oh dear poor George Michael sentenced today to 8 weeks in prison for a drug fuelled car crash.  Now I could not care less what the once Wham front man gets upto in his home but there is not excuse for driving whilst so drugged to the eyeballs that you crash into a building!  Not only is that bad, but this was his second charge offence.  George has widely made it know that he like a toke but he really is not helping the legalise cannabis campaign with his stupid activities.  Thank god there was no one on the pavement.  Could have set back legalising the drug by a decade (heaven forbid if a child had been walking by).

Shame on your George.   With the money he has why hasnt he a driver!

Another expert calls for Cannabis legalisation

Cannabis for recreational use should be available in shops under similar restrictions to those used to control the sale of alcohol and tobacco, according to Britain's leading expert on the drug. 

Under one scenario, people would be able to apply for a licence to buy cannabis products once they reach the age of 21, provided they have the approval of a doctor, he said. 

The drug would be regulated by a body that ensures the quality and safety of the products before they go on sale. 

A rethink of the laws surrounding cannabis and related products was necessary to take cannabis out of the hands of criminals, said Roger Pertwee, professor of neuropharmacology at Aberdeen University. 

In the 1970s, Pertwee co-discovered THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.
