    Had a call from the boy earlier, he'd been given a "Legal High" to smoke.

    He wasn't happy on account of it making him go blind & loosing the use of his legs.

    Just thought i'd warn the rest of the parents on here. Just because its legal, doesn't make it safe.

      Absolutely Zig. Being legal just means nobody has got round to classifying it yet.

        Evo Stick used to be really bad till they took the 111 trichloroethane out of it. Funny how it still sticks stuff without it though, why did they have to wait for loads of kids to die from it before they took it out?

        The answer is effectiveness. 111 trichloroethane was fast acting the way it was used, its replacement is not as good. Its not the makers fault that kids sniffed glue. It also used to be used in correction fluid.

        Sorry if yours was a rhetorical question.

        When I was a Gaming machine engineer/Casino maintenance, one of the jobs was to re-cover snooker tables, and we used Evo Stick, until they changed the recipe
        Totally useless as too long to adhere, when stretching baise, on to slate

        It is a bit off when a few individuals change the world by their idiosy

        People sniffed glue, Now everyone wanting to buy glue of that type needs ID and prove over 18

        Drunken youths, now SuperMarkets have an over 25 years old rule if you wish to purchase alcohol

        So some BAD type Muslims create hell, for a day, and now everyone in the world intending to fly has to strip off,belt, braces, shoes, not allowed to carry more than 100ml of liquid in TOTAL, nail files or nail scisors, pocket knife
        Julies metal hips are real fun :-)

        Oh dear, I guess that might make difficult to obtaining Epsom Salts for our tomato plants.

        Makes me sick those shops that sell that stuff to kids! There are lots of head shops all over the place dr hermans being one of them as far as i am concerned the staff that work there are no better than crack dealers standing street corners, people like that hide behind laws.

        What about this stuff - does it sound like it should be banned?


        Unfortunately it's a plant that lots of GC members grow
