Guys, you aren't going to believe this bit of Orwellian doublethink. It's a masterstroke of policy.

Legal highs have been banned. So all legal highs are illegal.

Stupid question, but will this affect the sale of "lab reagents" which are sold covered with "not for human consumption" labels? I sincerely hope not.

I've been banging /kratom/ for a few months now, not sure if this will be affected. I hope not because I'm pretty reliant on it tbh.

How anyone could vote Tory in their right mind is beyond me. The endless fascist rhetoric and retrograde policy making is fucking astonishing. Still, at least this will protect "hard working people" right? Cunts.

Did you miss the bit in the article about this action being pledged in every party of government's manifesto?

Labour and the Conservatives are not "every party of government". Labour are equally totalitarian, but at least Ed Millipede never outright admitted he was sick of " passively tolerating " people who obey the law.

On topic, I hope I can still get ahold of salvia through legal channels - don't they label it as plant feed or something?

HANG ON A BLOODY MINUTE! I've just realised that this legislation will ban poppers. How am I going to get my gape on now?

You might have to spend as much as £3 extra to ship them in from France; I'm sure you're puckering at the very thought.

Yeah, I seen GMFA post about it. Valium works, so does methocarbamol, which are both easy to get on the street so it's not the end of the world. Back alley bumming will be down 90% at least though.

>methocarbamol

Me and my chocolate bon-bon factory thank you.

In other bumming-related news, a mate of mine has just ordered twenty litres of GBL. Which should see him through until at least next Thursday.

I suspect this won't be much of an impediment. Might be wrong.

At the moment any talk of what will or will not be banned is a bit pointless.
The real question is how the fuck are they going to enforce it. Remember this revolves around the qualifier "for human consumption", most of these chemicals will still be "legal" up until the point that it enters your body. Are they going to be targeting the suppliers? In which case any prosecutor would have to be able to prove that the supplier was knowingly selling it to be used as a drug. Or are they going to target consumers, which would mean they'd have to catch you first, and then prove you had used it. Either way, the ramifications could be significant, and will likely have a huge impact on potential legal uses of any targeted chemicals. And of course, actually enforcing this at all would likely be incredibly expensive and resource-intensive.

I'll be gutted if I can't order nitrous oxide from Amazon any more.
Only for my whipped cream machine, of course.

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/may/29/laughing-gas-government-legal-highs-nitrous-oxide
"Ministers say that the blanket ban on legal highs will not affect the legitimate uses of nitrous oxide, which are widespread and include its use as an anaesthetic in childbirth and dentistry, and as a propellant in whipped cream aerosols."

Also an interesting paragraph from the article;

"The legislation, being published on Friday, will make it illegal to produce, distribute, sell or supply “new psychoactive substances” in Britain, whether over the internet or through a high street ‘head shop’. It will not, however, make simple possession of legal highs a criminal offence."

Looks like I'm in the clear lads.

I posted before, in another thread somewher, that this kind of ban is practically unworkable (at least in a fair manner) because everywhere from your local supermarket to your local Boots to your local health food shop is carrying enough psychoactive substances to sink a battleship. My gut instinct is that they're going to use it to shut down businesses they don't like the look of (head shops, online 'plant food' sites) and turn a blind eye to the rest - which isn't how the law should work. Rage and sage.

>People would be banned from loitering at petrol stations under this bill.

>The psychoactive effects of hyperventilation would mean that oxygen would have to be distributed by prescription under this bill.
