Legal high dad plunges to death after "trying to fly"

Exactly, but I do feel sorry for the guy. Yes, he was stupid. He ingested a chemical and had absolutely no idea what it was. At least with Mephedrone people knew what they were taking and had a good idea of how it would effect them. Ivory Wave is simply described as a "soothing bath salt" (obviously to get around the human consumption law). The active chemical is not listed and the taker therefore has no idea of what they're going to experience, it's like russian roulette. Though its suspected that the active ingredient is "2-diphenylmethylpiperidine" a euphoric stimulant that quickly begins to make the user anxious and paranoid as they re-dose. Loads of teenagers up and down the country who took Mephedrone are desperately seeking a replacement and are shoving god knows what up their noses in an attempt to recreate the now illegal high. Much more damage will come from it being made illegal - but our government is still living in the dark ages - where anything other than alcohol or tabacco is a complete taboo. One day, drugs will be legal and government regulated, but until then, more and more dangerous research chemicals will surface and things like this will continue to happen.

But like I said earlier, he probably mixed it with a large amount of alcohol which is never a good idea with stimulants.

Fixed your sentence for you

Most would have the sense to research something before they take it. If they don't then that's their own fault (Darwin's theory comes to mind here). If no ingredients are listed then research is pretty much impossible.

The owner of the headshop from which the man allegedly purchased 'Ivory Wave' has been arrested under suspicion of supplying class B drugs. Uh-oh.

Legal Highs always cause such a commotion and then months later they turn around and say "oops, my bad". So annoying.

They've released CCTV footage of him falling btw. Bit gross like.
