NPS Act V1. Blankets? Just Say No!

[Ceres]

suppose that depends on what your definition of good people is,

It is fair to say that Maryon Stewart was and still is a purveyor of quack medicine and woo.
Maryon’s book titles include Beat PMT through diet, The Model Plan, The Zest for Life Plan, The Phyto Factor, Cruising through the Menopause, No More PMS, Beat Sugar Craving, The Vitality Diet, Healthy Parents, Healthy Baby, Beat Menopause Naturally, The Natural Menopause Plan, The Real Life Diet and The Natural Menopause Kit. She is the co-author of Beat IBS Through Diet, No More IBS, Beat PMS Cookbook, Every Woman’s Health Guide, The Natural Health Bible. Her latest book beat PMS with BS is coming out shortly and has a forward written by David Cameron, rumor has it Cam and Mar are working together on a new book, provisionally entitled "Its for the children, beat GBL and NPS with PSA."

Subsequent to her daughters demise she has personally profited by setting up the Angelus foundation in order to promote the prohibitionist line. Check out Angelus foundation public accounts. also http://www.snouts-in-the-trough.com/archives/11666

So if Hester was to die today from GBL then she would not only be dead but a criminal too, or if somehow prohibition worked to prevent access to GBL and Hester was still alive, her wonderful mother would have lost out on a profitable business diversification, I am sure all of this is just what Hester would have wanted.

if this bunch of sock puppets making noise and disrupting proper consideration of law and regulation are good people then I don't want to see bad people. If harm reduction is their objective then prohibition is the last thing they should be lobbying for.
Angelus foundation should not retain charitable status, as it has been primarily about lobbying for law change.

spare me

the psychoactives bill is bad law and it is setting the scene for a deeply dystopian fascist future, the lights are going out all over this land.

hear hear, not only is this law bad in terms of what it will do for harm reduction, damage to individuals and wider society, it is also hugely damaging to science, research and development and the future of neuropsychopharmacology in the UK.

this government is implementing policy after policy based on corrupt ideology, persecution, lobby group influences and ignorance - somehow the public and the political opposition must put the brakes on before it is too late to undo the bulk of the damage.

you need to start a blog mate


me and my partner got some clonazolam off a very old and reliable vendor, we were looking forward to getting quick *snip* over our anniversary, but we noticed that the pills were of lighter colour pink than before the shortages and slightly weaker as 1-2 would of had us laying around very content with whatever shite we were watching but this time was different, i ordered 10 and only have 2 left, has anyone else experienced this with any other vendor products at the moment, they felt a little watered down, im going to try some flubromazepam this time and if that doesnt do it for me then im hanging my NPS-benzo coat up for good

could well be tolerance issues aswell when it comes to benzos. Obviously unregulated pills coming from the grey market are prone to a degree of variance in quality but do be mindful of your own body and receptor reregulation with regular use of any drug.

 

[matt<3ketamine]

definately not a tolerance issue, if 4 clonazolam dont give me the effect of 1 from months ago (since i last had them) then somethings up, maybe i just got the weaker end of the mix they make before they press them

It's no secret that Maryon Stewart is the author of many self-help tripe-tracts, but to then post a link to a blog by the pseudonymous 'David Craig', a cheerleader for workfare and Islamophobia, among other egalitarian issues, is simply jaw-dropping. I particularly enjoyed such edifying nuggets as 'Are Muslims (he censors the words 'Muslim' and 'Islam' through sheer cowardice) psychotic victims of the "Victim Syndrome"?' and 'One Hundred Years of Progress - The West versus Islam'. Not at all alarming, eh? Maybe you find my reservations with regard to this racist bilge as symptomatic of 'fascism'. In which case, away with you, and try to get better sources next time you want to go on a bizarre and embarrassing rant.

Yesss!!!!!

According to one major UK RC vendor, the ban is gonna be delayed by at least a week. Then if the government don't get it sorted by then, it'll prob be a month, and if not by then, then who knows, but it could be months on end of limbo.

Delay to Psychoactive Substances Act because govt can't define 'psychoactive '! Issue I exposed in Ireland. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33226526 … (https://twitter.com/BBCMarkEaston/status/708336312718381057?lang=en)

The UK government is being urged to put off a ban on so-called legal highs after claims similar legislation in the Republic of Ireland is flawed.

Ministers are due to publish draft laws modelled on Irish legislation introduced in 2010, with prison sentences of up to seven years.

However, a senior Irish drugs officer has admitted the law can leave police powerless to prosecute.

The Home Office said the UK system would be "flexible and proportionate".

The Irish Psychoactive Substances Act says it is illegal to buy or sell substances that are "psychoactive".

But a BBC investigation has found that Ireland's drugs squad is unable to act against a range of legal-high type drugs because of problems with the legislation.

To bring a prosecution, police must scientifically prove that a substance has a psychoactive effect. So far, there have been only four successful prosecutions in five years.

One form of synthetic cannabis linked to a number of deaths is being openly traded in some Irish towns, obtained on the internet and marketed as Clockwork Orange or Happy Joker. It costs about 10 euros a gram, or £10 a gram in the UK.

The story is from last summer, and apart from Mark Eastons Tweet last week he hasnt covered it since

LMAO, good luck to anyone trying to prove that Mexedrone is Psychoactive.

Maybe they then do the vendors under the Trades Descriptions Act for falsley mispreresting a product.

Parsley oil could be affected depending on how far they are willing to push "food items"....

 

[SquidInSunglasses]

Parsley oil could be affected depending on how far they are willing to push "food items"....

I don't know if anyone else actually bothered to read the act, given that foods were specifically exempted from the act (along with nicotine, alcohol, all MoDA controlled drugs and something else that slips my mind at the moment). Here's the relevant text on exempted substances, though if you're feeling particularly stimmed/bored you can always go read the whole thing : P

 

[mydrugbuddy]

so Safrron is exempt? Even if you can get high off it its the most expensive herb/spice going. I cant see there being a sudden outbreak of Saffron addictions and associated harms.

 

[Sprout]

Highly labile reversible polymers with zero psychoactivity as standard but appreciable when hydrolysed sold in a strictly controlled medium could be a fun idea to play with...

 

[Sprout]

As could selective conjugation with both a bio- and chemo-addition...

 

[bums alt]

The need to prove psychoactivity could be very bad news...For some of us anyway

What goes first if the law passes and they want to make an example of someone or something?

It's far easier to prove that a cacti is psychoactive than it is a cutting edge noid.

The relevant facts regarding Angelus in that link are correct and linking saves me having to repeat them. Check the published accounts for yourself if you can be bothered, I did and it is not pretty, the crux is that Angelus benefits and Maryon Stewart personally profits from prohibition, and has lobbied for the implementation of a truly terrible piece of legislation. WOD Qui Bono?

If the rest of the content of the linked site inadvertently triggered you, and disrupted your righteous progressive libtard view of life, tough shit. retreat to your safe space. Fundamentally free speech includes the right to say things you don't agree with, I personally don't agree with David Craig on a lot of things but he has the right to say it, a right that has to be defended.

In respect to Angelus, Craig is spot on, they are not good people, they and many of their advisers have also done rather well extracting money from the taxpayers funding themselves and perpetuating the total misguided failure that is drug policy in the UK.

Enough of this never ending dogmatic war. 50 years of abject failure, huge waste and unnecessary harm is long enough.

 

[T. Burglar]

My goodness! 'Triggered'? 'Libtard'? You're American, right? That explains an awful lot. Thanks for the punchline, Caleb. :D

 

[Sprout]

Surely the opposition of progressive is by definition regressive...?

 

[BigG]

Just as surely as the poster above you're looks supprisingly familiar

But won't we be allowed to "own the stuff for persomal use?" If so, then we've obviously bought it. How can it be illegal to purchase this but not then legal to own it for personal use?

Is it really delayed?

Evey

 

[steewith2ees]

Its deff delayed but how lo ong for is anyones guess. The government have stated that they will give 21 days notice of the act coming into force, which already takes us past the 6th...

 

[Eveleivibe]

Oooo I'm a happy bunny tonight two up in the face of the Tories. This delayed n whats his face who resigned with the bald head :D. Today is a good day good work to those whomthought this.
