Farage found out telling a few porkies!Quote:
Mephedrone will become an illegal drug later this week, the Home Office said.
Following the completion of the formal parliamentary process, the so-called legal high will be classified as a Class B drug from 16 April.
He was telling the truth because European law says the EU must consider it/give it the go ahead, of which the process usually takes a few months - this has obviously been fast-tracked but the point is, why are the EU dictating British law to the elected British government?
i've watched the scaremongering video - i think maybe he or someone in his party has misunderstood the directive or intentionally misleading the public because it seems that it talks about recognised european standards which i don't think mephadrone comes under. i showed that sweden didn't wait the 'three months'Quote:

if you go into that and search 'health', go to the third result and you'll see why it's allowed.
But that documentry on the drug showed the chinese making a similar but more dangerous drug with different ingredients that gets around our ban :o So banning this drug was pointless if its so easy for the sellers to carry on as they were just with a different product.
all bans are pointless anyway - people will always find a new 'high' and have done for thousands of years. and banning doesnt prevent their production or use.Quote:
