alcohol was far more to this eleven year olds taste). Three household products which are still used today to get high. So why are they not banned substances?

Perhaps the industries which manufacture them (as well as their big-spending lobbies) have something to do with it?

The ambiguity surrounding what a person is allowed to get high on, and what a person mustn't use continues to this day.

With 24 hour licensing at the top of the governing Labour party's hit list, it would be fair to assume we didn't need to get high on Spice, when we can just go out anytime we feel inclined, get pissed out of our tree, and expect the emergency services to pick up the pieces as a thousand others head to the bright lights of the city-centre with the same intentions.

In the meantime people who prefer to consume cannabis (or an alternative) instead of drinking, are ever-mindful of the chance of getting an anti-drug hand-swab as they enter a pub or club, so are choosing to stay at home and have a quiet toke with friends instead. Leaving the "custers last stand" -like scenario visible in every town centre at the weekend, to those who enjoy that particular facet of recreational intoxication the most. The fighters.

The fact is people are going to want to get high whether Brown or Obama says they can, or not. Century's of history has already proven this time and again.

Perhaps if we could answer the question "why" they choose to get high we may be able to tackle the issue. But simply saying a person is not allowed to use a product simply because a politician chooses to use the substance to make a political point is not good enough anymore. Especially so if the politician saying "No" has a history of using the substance themselves. Standards? Double?

So the writing is on the wall for Spice, a product which hasn't killed or maimed anyone to date. And for a constantly-growing-ever-more-restless-by-the-day cannabis community thats just fine, as they have decades of experience with using "the real thing", and they would prefer to keep it that way.

But ever since the reclassification of cannabis, its become harder to come by as well as being more expensive now than its ever been before under prohibition.

Little wonder then unscrupulous chemists across the world are able to synthesize a cannabis mimic and sell it easier than if they chose to sell the real deal.

Cannabis has always been a popular drug to experiment with. And when you bear in mind its never been credibly linked to a single death, its time to question the wisdom of spending billions of pounds every year trying to control a substance which every UK citizen can grow in their back garden with no specialist equipment or knowledge required.

Either that, or prepare to run through the whole expensive operation of finding and banning a thousand other legal high's which will surely follow down the "Spice" road.

Lets face it we know what cannabis does to a person. A substance which is so safe it is now openly traded on the stock market in the US, and is widely agreed to be far safer than either alcohol or tobacco.

But with Spice-like products we don't even know whats in it, so how can we realistically say how it will affect our kids in the long term?

The war on cannabis just doesn't stack up anymore, and the politicians who choose to maintain its prohibited status must be taken to task over it, as every day wasted means more young lives lost.

South Wales Head Shop is about to bring 5 new products to the legal high's market-place, and it will offer an 'out-of-hours' delivery service, for when those unexpected social engagements pop up out of the blue at 11pm on a Saturday night.
