Responses to ’Legal Highs’

Public Group  |  active 2 days, 15 hours ago ago

There are a range of legal highs / research chemicals, some of them natural and others synthetic. Many of these drugs are from similar families to illegal drugs. Do we need to reinvent the wheel and start all over, or can we adapted and tailor traditional interventions and responses for these new and emerging drugs?

    It’s very important to determine the lethal dose and potential therapeutic use before criminalizing. The lethal dose of marijuana (in theory) for a 150 lb adult is 50 lbs (sorry, we still haven’t graduated to metric over here). In reality, MJ has never killed anyone.

      Synthetic cannabis could be lethal though as some products are much stronger than the natural forms

    Interesting debate as opened up on this issue. The debate is whether we should make them legal or decriminalize legal highs. A new approach is definitely needed. Report says that a legal high is coming out at 1 a week. “Senior police officers told the inquiry into the new psychoactive synthetic drugs, which are appearing in Britain at the rate…[Read more]
