banning synthetic drugs

[real_eyes]

First of all so don't come off as sounding like a pretentious prick:

I was an avid user of "spice","k2","incense","potpuri" whatever.. for almost 2 years and it ruined my life.
before that i also abused alcohol, MJ, perscription pills.
having said that ....

I am very worried about the lack of education people have in the area of RC's.
They purchace a product over the counter giving them the false confidence that it must be safe and end up in ER or dead.
The retailers couldn't give a crap either as long as they get their $$$. I'm shure even the retailers don't even know what's in alot of the products they are gladly handing over to the uneducated,unsuspecting public.

The law here in Australia is a joke.
i think they need to put a BLANKET BAN on anything mimicing illicit drugs.
Or do what NZ has done, and put the onus on the retailer to prove that the product is safe.

I mainly am concerned with "fake marijuana" ppl think they are smoking "super herb" as in the "synthetic" means "genetically altered" weed or somthing . (really! a friend couldn't believe it when i told him what was really involved in making this crap).

so HOW can i get the ball rolling on getting this stuff off the shelves?

i started a thread on banning RC's from over the counter sale.
But i am new to forum posting and am not shure if it was in the correct place so i thought i'd put it in the general discussion area
here's a link to the post:

If you're new to forum posting, then why not first read the BLUA section on cross-posting?

I'm sorry but bluelight is not the place to endorse such a project. Moreover, prohibition in its totality is the issue at root, not synthetic drugs.

Please don't cross-post. BDD is for drug specific harm reduction questions.

Closed. Pm any questions.
