'Legal Highs' Ready To Be Sold Despite Ban

The Psychoactive Substances Act would come in full force this spring. It's already a few weeks in. But the efficacy of the drug law has put many in doubt.

Evidence that large quantities of legal highs are being stockpiled before the implementation of a new law, which I believe could be reminiscent to the bootlegging era of the Volstead Act in the United States, shows how dangerous club drugs are now using huge discounts on their products if customers purchase their products online.

This would place vulnerable addicts at risk especially as the offers and prices are down.

The law was implemented last April 6. But there had been delays.

The government has issued a 21-days notice to the UK parliament before the legislation can be enforced.

The Psychoactive Substances Act bans almost all psychoactive substances except nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and other medical products.

Possession of legal highs though, are legal.

As 'head shops' close down, many estimate the sale of the products to come down to hidden individuals, much to how illegal drugs are also sold on the street.

Some service users have admitted building up drug reserves, according to Edinburgh-based drugs agency Crew 2000.

Some discounts from former 'head shops' go from 10 to 20 per cent on orders over £100. The companies also offer discreet and free next-day delivery.
