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.

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.

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...
