Can't say I'm surprised.

New "legal highs" are being made widely available online and in specialised shops at an unprecedented pace, outstripping attempts to control them, the European Union's drugs agency has warned.

In a report published jointly with the law enforcement agency Europol, the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) says in 2010 the two agencies officially noted 41 new psychoactive substances, many of them imitating the effects of ecstasy. Fourteen of them were first identified in Britain.

Yep,no surprises there... of course these 'legal highs' wouldn't spread so fast if the classic drugs were legal,regulated and taxed,as they should be,imo.
And NO,by legal I don't mean selling xtc pills to 14 year olds.... ;)
