Nine new legal highs replace banned drugs

There is not much on that list that would make my horse feel very frisky!

So... free advertising for drugs in a newspaper?

Perhaps add Synthacaine, Dimethocaine, Blue-E and Dust to that list!?

This situation really is fucked up. When will the government realise that a) people are going to take drugs, they always have, b) the drugs they want to sell us (caffeine, alcohol, tobacco) are not right for everyone, and c) they are making people walk into this "minefield" by banning things like mephedrone when going against the advice of the ACMD. Ridiculous.

I love this battle

Stupid government VS chemist who make a living from creating new substances.

Chemist are winning greatly!

SWIM is disapointed that there are no new smoke substitutes available- however, SWIM feels that it's best to smoke the real thing, as the effects are well researched & documented- SWIM was never into these crazy pills that made him go wild, he was always happier with a relaxing smoke, film and a beer, however, SWIM is greatly happy to see a big thorn in the side of the corrupt Irish government: just one thing, SWIM believes they should have waited til the Dáil goes on it's summer break before lashing out new substances, as the government is planning it's new draconian legislation that basically nullifies fundamental principles of the law

If you can call putting every bodies health at risk with untested chemicals a win. Personally i think everybody is loosing now so the government should just legalise cocaine and weed as its long term effects (coke not the weed) are probably less bad then most other stimulants. Sounds like a bad idea to some but I bet if it was legalised we would have no more crack addicts, no more random chemicals which are more dangerous but less fun and probably far less hard drug users as cocaine would be available.

I was saying that only to show that drugs need to be legalized.

And yes, the world really needs a second Shulgin. He was testing his own drugs and only publishing the ones he was seeing was safe and/or who don't have a too high degree of abuse potential.

This man is a real hero. He wasn't thinking with money, he was acting with his hearth.

Yes, but this sends a message: for every substance you ban, chemists will create 10 more. Thats winning. Of course the new substances will be, in most cases, worst that the known ones and the user looses because of that, but in the path to legalization every battle counts and this is a battle about prohibition vs creativity. Prohibitionists can only destroy what others create and that forces them to always be a step behind. As this cat and mouse game goes further and further, new and more dangerous substances emerge to satisfy the consumers' need to explore different states of mind. One day, the battle will end and there will be no more prohibitions or we will all die poisoned.
As swim said, this is just another battle front of an old disgusting war, and the fact that prohibition transforms people in guinea pigs is another valid argument in the fight for the legalization of drugs use.
At the end of the day, no one forces anyone to buy anything, and with time we will get to the point where people will have to make a choice: respect authority and obey the law vs being healthy

Further proof that the war on drugs is crap. The people want to be free to put whatever they want in their own bodies.

^^ I thought Raz was supposed to be useless? The claim would fit in that case.
