Something I just read in an email. All rumour and supposition but I agree with it pretty much. Here’s the interesting portion of it.
The New Psychoactive Substances Act has passed through Parliament, received Royal Ascent and was due to come into force 6th April 2016. However, it has been postponed ‘indefinitely’ after it was pointed out by the police that it is unenforceable.
Hampshire police have written to headshop owners and others selling legal highs to warn them that it is their responsibility to ensure their products are not harmful or banned substances, and that they are not enabling the illegal drugs trade in the UK.
One very optimistic version is that it will never come into force and the best that the goverment will have done is inducing some fear, closed some head shops and moved some vendors outside UK.
This blanket ban has always been a big question mark as ALL psychoactive susbtance -except caffeine, tabacco and alcohol- are targeted the whole scientific industry and community will clearly suffer from this. As well as the food and supplements industry.
So the truth is we can’t know for sure but we will get a 21days notice before it does, if it ever does.
