Blimey. If a fairly widely-used, euphoric, mellow and fairly gentle legal MDMA-esque stimulant can make even BMW drivers eat a biro then wander starkers through Tescos karete-kicking kuntstubbles god help her if she ever gets her hand on these pub-based liquid legal highs warned of in this 'ere thread
Surely even tabloid journos must feel grubby churning out these interchangable campaigns to ban whichever legal that gets picked out of the
Daily Heil tombola that week? They may be corrupt, morally bankrupt, soulless, heartless, hypocritical, ill-informed ignoramuses but they ain't stupid. They know full well they're flat-out lying about most of these kinda incidents and are surely also fully aware of the serious harm - up to and including potential loss of life - that inevitibly follows in the wake of these campaigns.
Yes there are plenty of peeps who use "legal highs" before the campaign, and yes it's true that many will be of the ilk that would never think of themselves as drug-users so would never think to check out the HR info online before using 'em, and yes a proportion of these pre-campaign users (especially the latter type of casual "non-druggy" users) will come a cropper in one way or another. Some maybe even to the point of death due to taking dangerous combos (cos they don't bother to read up on stuff cos they'd never want to associate with dangerously stupid drugnerds like us and ignorance is, after all, bliss right up to the end) or cos they have no idea of what a "safe" dose is, ot just plain ol' "misadventure" which is a risk when you get twatted in any way, shape or form. Tragic such events are indeed, but also extremely rare and also completely unavoidable in an even vaguely free society.
However, from Day One of these tabloid campaigns against whichever one they pick out the
Heil hat to gang up on next, the number of people aware of the existence of the condemned chem suddenly numbers in the millions rather than the thousands... and all these potential new customers know nowt other than the brand/name of the drug, the stupid/catchy "street" name the journo decides to give it, the fact that it's cheap, legal and gets you fucked, and - frequently - the name one or more sites they can buy it from cos they've been "named & shamed" in one or more of the tabloid adverts/articles.
It's no wonder the number of stories of folk fuckin' up on the stuff expands rapidly over the next few weeks: the fuckin' holier-than-thou journocunts provide the best free advertising campaign anyone could ever hope for with not even a token veneer of HR advice or where such info can be found. Why wait for tragic tales of dead youngsters and titillating tales of public indecency to cause public outrage and moral panic when you can put the chain of events in motion yourself then sit back with a bottle of expensive, single-malt, legal high liquid while you wait for the inevtible ban and then claim yourself another victory in the struggle against the evils of yet another not-notably-dangerous-but-still-notably-legal, moderately popular, mostly harmless legal product.
Wonder if Mr Parker happens to have a mate who recently opened a site selling "Benzo Fury"?
