A MUM whose teenage son became seriously ill after taking the new legal high ‘Black Mamba’ has called for it to be made illegal.

Hyndburn MP Graham Jones said he backed the move and called for an end to the ‘lunacy’ of ‘concocted chemicals’ being freely available.

“His limbs became very rigid and he could not walk or move unaided. He stopped talking and was in a barely conscious state. His body temperature reduced dramatically and his skin colour became grey and green. All these events occurred within 30 minutes.

Dr Tom Smith, the Lancashire Telegraph’s medical expert, said he couldn’t understand why people would take the drug given the risks involved.

He said: “The two main problems are that a very small proportion of people taking this drug can become psychotic and get a schizophrenic-like reaction that can be very difficult to treat and sometimes people don’t recover at all. “The second thing is the cannabinoids stay in the brain quite a long time, so even years after they are still there which can lead to a high chance of dementia.

“If that’s not scary I don’t know what is.”

They take that risk because human beings love to get high! Some human beings are just more intelligent than the others. There will always be a demand for mind altering substances which means there will always be a supply. Because humans are always going to use the gov might as well make it as safe as possible. Legalize and regulate.
 
Wasn't one of the assassins in Kill Bill codenamed Black Mamba?

I think they need to come up with better names

They always come up with the dodgiest names for these smoke blends. Spike99, Ice Bud and Ultimate Warrior spring to mind as some that I've seen in headshops recently.
