Parents Receive Plant Food Warning Letter

Saturday, 19 December 2009 00:00

Parents of secondary school children have been warned about the dangers of legal highs in a letter sent home from the Island’s schools.

The issue of legal high has come into sharp focus of late with calls to outlaw them on the Island after numerous incidents where people have reacted badly.

It’s hoped the letter will inform the parents of the potential dangers faced by taking the drugs.

The most popular of the substances, methadrone can currently be easily obtained over the internet or bought locally.
