EXCLUSIVE: The dangerous chemicals contained in legal highs that are available at pocket-money prices
Just because it says “Legal” doesn`t mean its safe!
It's a well-used statement from drugs charities, that Legal Highs are available too easily and too cheaply. According to one charity, Addaction, there are more so-called 'head shops' in the North East than anywhere else in the country. It's a subject that has always interested me. A subject that for a long time I have wanted to investigate. So I decided to put this theory to the test. Just how easy IS it to get hold of legal highs? Are the statements backed up by the facts? With the help of colleague Nikhita Chulani we set off armed with forty pounds in our pockets with the aim of buying whatever we could. The results were quite surprising.
