What are Legal Highs?

Why are Legal Highs dangerous?

When were they banned and why?

Was the ban on dangerous psychoactive substances effective?

NO: “This blanket ban was supposed to cure the UK’s ‘legal high’ problem, including Spice,” says Martin Powell, from the Transform Drug Policy Foundation “But as experts warned before the new law was implemented, beyond the cosmetic success of ending legal sales in head shops, little positive has been achieved. And in many respects, the situation has deteriorated.”

A report published in 2016 from the drug information service DrugWise said the continuing use of legal highs such as spice among “vulnerable street communities”, including rising numbers of rough sleepers, is a cause for concern, reports The Guardian.

Legal high use also remains widespread in UK prisons “and in some cases had increased” says The Daily Telegraph, which offers a mixed assessment of the law’s impact.
