Hi there,

Just letting you know that we've published a new section of articles on TheSite all about legal highs: http://www.thesite.org/legalhighs

Also there's a new video on our Youtube channel to give an overview to the issues.

Do let us know what you think. :thumb:

Cheers,
Chris C.

    the dex page says to avoid taking with aceto-thingy but, surely it would say paracetamol on the british packaging, so for british teens the warning should be against dex with paracetamol?

    in Kratom, the phrase "psychical dependency" seems odd, I'm used to reading either physical or psychological dependency.

    Erm, I'm not quite sure how to put this without sounding a bit bitchy, but surely a page on the new 'legal highs' such as 5-IAI might be a good idea.

    Also your page on 'legal highs: does legal equal safe?' says this;

    "The [Misuse of Drugs] act can only ban specific substances and chemical compounds, so anything it doesn't cover is therefore legal."

    This isn't really true, to make sure that MDMA type drugs were illegal the government basically picked up PIHKAL and said 'any drugs like these are Class A'. But I understand you can't put all of the complexity of our bonkers drug law in your information pages.
