Director of drugs charity, DASH, says legal highs continue to be a major concern on the Island.
Shelly Stanley told us that despite an initial drop off following the ‘plant food’ furore, there has been increased cases of people seeking their service needing help to overcome addictions.
A number of deaths have been attributed to legal highs around the UK - mephedrone in particular can have lethal consequences.
Shelly told us the main problem comes from the users not knowing what dangerous components make up the drugs:
TT food van needed for trackside car park
Northern roadworks to hinge on Mountain Road reopening
Beer festival to return this week
Dublin to sign friendship agreement with Douglas in summer
Total of 35 properties on council's dilapidated list
Equipment being sold off from popular former bar
Council to object to Summerland site plans
Manx Care still trying to contact dental practice
