A 21-year-old woman is in a critical condition in Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary after taking a so-called "legal high". She was admitted to hospital after falling ill in the early hours of Friday morning.

"We do not know exactly what it is she has taken or what it looked like..."

We need them to ring the police and hand over what they may have.

Do they really think people are this stupid?

It's the same question I ask when I see the nutritional facts printed on bottled water.

Especially with scare-tactics like this going around...

...a person who had bought an Ivory Wave product thinking it was legal could still subject to prosecution if they were stopped by the police and found to carrying a controlled substance.

If they want people to hand in suspect legal highs then either they should start assuming "good faith" and not prosecute the end user or ask people to hand them in to a medical department instead. Otherwise they are likely to increase harm instead of reducing it. Maybe that's the idea...

It's my local police force. Yes, they think people are THAT stupid. Funny really, seeing as those fuckers can't even catch a cold.
