It’s getting far too easy to buy drugs. Even five years ago it was only message board-dwelling nerds who were buying online. The rest of the powder-snorting middle class was still making tense trips to dingy estates, putting on a working class accent to avoid a mugging. Now they just use PayPal.
In the last week, students have been overdosing on a hallucinogenic pill called 2CB. A 20-year-old in Bristol apparently tried to rip off his own face. A group of six were hospitalised in Newcastle after buying the drug online.
Most people have never heard of 2CB – which is illegal – but the internet is making it incredibly easy to buy, along with a galaxy of other suspect-looking pills and powders. Take a look at the colourful array of "legal highs" we were recently sent at The Tab. They look like astronaut food, or futuristic confectionery.
