Information on Drugs
"Legal highs" are dangerous.
New psychoactive substances, commonly referred to as “legal highs”, as currently available from headshops or through internet providers, are dangerous to the health of users. The fact that such products are not yet illegal does not in any way imply that they are safe. They are untested, with the effects on users being the main source of information on them. These effects differ, but many people have had serious reactions to these products and medical personnel have repeatedly stressed the dangers involved, based on the cases they have encountered. The Government will introduce controls on various new psychoactive substances in June, following a required referral process to the EU. These controls will make it illegal to sell or possess these substances and offences will be subject to criminal sanctions.www.drugs.ie
