UK's 'Legal high' ban goes into effect

This has been coming for a few months, but now it is official. The UK is actually going backwards in drug policy, banning the sad replacement drugs that are supposed to act like real drugs, but are far less fun.

A ban on several drugs known as "legal highs" has come into force. The substances, including GBL and BZP, become Class C drugs, with a possible two-year jail sentence for possession...

Synthetic cannabis has also been banned and become a Class B drug. Possession of products such as "spice", a herbal mixture laced with psycho-active chemicals, now carries a maximum five-year jail term.

Fifteen anabolic steroids, associated with drug abuse in sport, have also been classified as Class C.

And what about pixie sticks full of sugar? Kids eat those things like drugs. Or what about coffee and tea? Practically the whole nation of England is addicted to caffeine. I think we should ban those next.

Thanks sd&m!
