Sign of the Times? 'Zombie' Drugs Turning Teens Into the
Walking Dead
THE CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE
Spice, or synthetic marijuana, is a
rapidly growing drug sweeping the nation.
A police
commissioner has been fiercely criticized after calling for the legalization of
so-called "zombie drugs."
Arfon
Jones, Police Commissioner for North Wales, said that new psychoactive
substances (NPS) with names such as "Spice"
and "Black Mamba" should
be made legal again, after an outright ban by the government in May last year.
Over
the last few months, young people have been photographed in a zombie-like state
in some city centres after taking the substances.
'Outrageous'
Welsh
Assembly member Darren Millar described the calls as "outrageous," saying: "I
find his views a disgrace.
"These drugs are very dangerous
and act as gateways to even more dangerous drugs.
"They ruin lives. We need fewer
drugs in our society, not more."
Another
Assembly member, Janet Finch-Saunders, added that Jones' comments were "irresponsible."
Legal Highs Ban
Last
year, the government introduced a blanket ban on the substances, also known as
legal highs.
Officials
had been banning the drugs on a case-by-case basis, however manufacturers could
simply tweak the chemical composition of the substances and sell them legally
again.
Speaking
at the introduction of the legal high ban, a government minister said: "Too many lives have been lost or
ruined by the dangerous drugs formerly referred to as 'legal highs.'
"That is why we have taken
action to stamp out this brazen trade. The Psychoactive Substances Act sends a
clear message—these drugs are not legal, they are not safe and we will not
allow them to be sold in this country."
