'Grieving parents of a young woman who died after taking a “legal high” said a temporary ban is not good enough.

Margaret and Robin Moyle, of Cant Way, Braintree are campaigning to ban the so called “legal highs” and raise awareness about the damage they can cause.

Their daughter, Sarah Forsyth, 35, died in August after taking Ivory Wave bath salts to lose weight.

Her parents believed the “legal high” killed their only daughter, who was described as bright and fun loving, but are still awaiting an inquest.

A new Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill which is currently being discussed in the House of Commons includes provisions to immediately introduce a temporary ban on the latest “legal highs” as they become cause for concern and tough penalties for those caught trafficking and supplying them.

But Mr Moyle said: “It does not need to be a temporary ban it needs to be a full complete ban."

See this week's Braintree and Witham Times for the full story.'
 
Reworded with any number of "legal" highs...

Stupid people do stupid things. It's not the drug, it's the PEOPLE.
 
These people failed at being parents, so they are blaming the drugs and the government rather than themselves. Sounds about right to me. 8)
 
This girl has a food addiction and swapped it for a another addiction. personality traits given to her by her parents no less.
 
We should make a permanent ban on anything that might cause harm, including q-tips (cotton swabs), which can be pushed into the inner ear, leaving victims disfigured, with punctured ear drums, deafness, ringing (tinnitus), and balance problems.
Our daughter suffered this fate, and we want to - no, we OWE it to other parents to make q-tips illegal, so that their children can be saved.
 
She's thirty-five and taking "Ivory Wave bath salts to lose weight"? She's dead, so I won't call her pathetic, but I'll say that if she's that old and is still described as "fun loving," I'm going to assume she was probably pretty damn immature in the first place.
 
She was 35. A grown woman. The campaign is based upon the fact that she should not be held responsible for her actions.

:/
 
synthetic cannabinoids can cause tinnitus, I am really sorry for myself to be a proof of that but it does
 
when did someone ever try the 4 THE CHILDREN SAVE THE KIDZ argument for their THIRTY FIVE year old child?
she's an adult.
 
I'd hardly describe anybody who takes random legal highs to lose weight as 'bright'. In fact i'd call them pretty fucking stupid, surely the age old equation of eat less + move more would have been a better idea?

Not that i'm for all these crazy legal highs, who knows what damage they can do. But silly people using whatever random chemicals they can find to lose weight shouldn't define laws.
 
The market has brought this upon itself. Greed is the driving factor as always. Selling powerful drugs in candy wrapping is not exactly smart. Blame stupid people all you want, fact of the matter is greedy vendors has doomed the RC market. Complaining about unfair drug laws is an exercise in futility, it will never change anyway, at least not in our lifetimes. Once blanket ban type legislation spreads across eu/us, the RC scene is dead. Stock up on those good chems while you still can.. the clock is ticking.
 
"synthetic cannabinoids can cause tinnitus"

I think I can agree with this. It wasn't permanent for me but one time I was in Georgia and I bought a blend so I didn't know what chemical it was but one hit made me trip balls. My heart felt like it was going to pop out of my chest and there was a ringing in my ears so damn loud! I passed out and felt better though. I'm not a dumb ass that freaks out and goes to the hospital where all they do is watch you then add you to the number if kids that couldn't handle their shit
