The Government’s official drug advisers will recommend later this month that the “legal high” mephedrone should be banned because of the potential serious risks to public health.
Typical knee jerk reaction from the Government, do they really believe making it illegal will stop people using it?.
Lets look at the evidence, Cocaine Heroin Crack Cannabis etc etc all illegal, yet freely available and more popular than ever, so banning this “drug” which is in fact a plant food will make no difference.
This answer if there is one lies in education, teaching kids the dangers of drugs, one way is showing hard hitting anti drug films in schools, there is a company the Government use for their no drinking no smoking campaigns that turn out the most brilliantly terrifying adverts against drink driving and smoking.
Showing the effects on the mind from using these so called legal highs will shock many into not going near them, the after effects can be pretty terrifying, like the footage I saw yesterday of a 14 year old boy going through various stages of terror and paranoia, followed by aggression shown on sky news, if I had any intention of trying this drug, and I don’t,this would have been enough to deter me.
So forget about gimmicks Gordon we know there is an election coming up, you are not fooling anybody, lets get educating our youngsters to the dangers now.
