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.

Hello, I'm a substance misuse worker and am now provide drug awareness training http://www.merseydrugtraining.com on a self-employed basis-consequently I'm always trying to glean information. Due to a dearth of "legal high" clients presenting at my agency, I'm in the dark about how these impact on people/their addiction potential/how the dealing infrastructure works once these substances have been made illegal e.g. methadrone. Anyone enlighten me? Thanks.
