The law struggles to keep up with stores selling “legal highs” which are sometimes common substances such as caffeine pills but can also be more unusual and potentially dangerous ones for which there is no legal provision risk to health. Store operators are using legal loopholes to make profit often at the risk of young people’s mental wellbeing…….young people are attracted to these products because of the perception created by these stores that they’re not illegal and the idea that many such products are more “natural” and hence safer………
Police raided 12 alternative stores and tobacconists last week and seized hundreds of pills and fake pot.Alternative stores such as Happy High Herbs, Off Ya Tree and the Condom Kingdom are jam-packed every night with teenagers looking for a new experience.
