Mephedrone to be banned after deaths

After two teenagers die after taking the "Legal High" Mephedrone it looks likely that the latest designer drug is likely to be banned soon by the government.  Whether it was the drug on its own, a contaminated batch or a cocktail of the substance the users had taken there is a backlash against the drug.  Openly sold as a plant fertilizer with warnings not for human consumption Mephedrone is being used by it seems hundreds of thousands of people each week around the UK.  Including many young children.


When are we going to learn our lesson on these drugs?  If it is banned the profit from Legal Highs will mean a chemist will create another similar cocktail within a short space of time.  The next one could be even more dangerous.  It is a known fact that some already illegal substances are safe for human consumption than many other human activities (Ecstasy is safer to take than to go horse riding). Instead of using human guinea pigs on these new substances, raise revenue and protect the public by selling state manufactured Ecstasy, we do with Alcohol.  Yes this is not without problems but at least people will be able to make an informed choice in the knowledge that the substance is pure.  With warnings not to take it in certain conditions.


We need to act on recreational drugs in an enlightened way, not the current reactionary way that criminalises law abiding people.

Welcome to the recreational drugs Blog

Welcome to my new blog all about recreational drugs which will also focus on club drugs. I aim to post new stories from the media and open discussions on my opinions and thoughts. Certain recreational drugs like alcohol (and it is a drug) are widely accept in society and sold legally and taxed etc. They have many health issues, do cause crime in various ways many of which are the reasons why the illegal drugs were banned in the first place. We aim to discuss this. If you are new to the world of recreational drugs or are a teenager just coming of age then a good starting point for learning more about drugs is the Fantazia site Recreational Drugs Section. We feature articles, games and more on some of the more popular drugs and some far rarers one. Click the link below to get started.

Do only use this as a starting point to any research as research changes all the time and what was true perhaps about drugs when something is written does not mean it will always be.

I don't condone the taking of drugs btw but I do think adults should be given choices over their own lives. Pushing people to buy drugs illegally is not senseable in a progressive society and certainly did not help America during the prohibition era. But lets discuss...
