"Mr President, Europe has a drug problem and one that we can no longer afford to ignore. Legal highs are cheap, readily available and on the rise as a convenient high street alternative to illegal street drugs. Labelled as ‘not for human consumption’, these new psychoactive substances have effects that are wholly unpredictable and increasingly deadly.
Leading charities in regions like my own of North-East England – charities such as Changing Lives – have called for legislation to close legal loopholes and take on the vendors and the organised crime groups that exploit them. Parliament has supported action. As long as the Council continues to stall on this desperately—needed regulation, the death toll in regions like my own will continue to climb. We cannot afford to wait. The time to act is now."@en1
