My name is Emily and I work at ITV.

I’m currently part of a team producing a programme which explores the phenomenon of Legal Highs. This will be filmed in a documentary style on location with expert interviews and personal testimonies.

I’m keen to get a better understanding of the kind of herbal remedies which are currently available and how people are using them. I’d also like to discuss the idea that banning a product is in fact a way of endorsing its effects.

I would appreciate it if anyone could spare the time to help me with my research, you can message me or perhaps if you send me your number you could suggest a convenient time for me to call?

Thanks

Emily

they are an alternative to MDMA though 😛

the problem is that the public still view MDMA as dangerous because a girl died once, despite all scientific evidence to the contrary

EDIT: significantly dangerous.. obviously there is a small risk as with most things in life

some of us have long memories and don’t forgive and forget. OK if your screen name is your year of birth you’re younger than my little sister so might not realise the history and are probably an idealistic and ambitious young lady hoping to boost her media career which you competed hard to get, but you are part of a powerful system which has never liked our culture…

Hi Emily,

I take it that when you say “legal highs” you mean “legal recreational drugs” and when you say “herbal remedies” you mean the same again, rather than a medicine for treating a disease or injury?

Personally I wouldn’t participate in any TV programme about legal recreational drugs because the programme that shows that legal highs are okay in the hands of responsible, well informed people (which by the way is my position) would never see the light of day. So, you wouldn’t want my opinion anyway.

I speculate that your “angle” is the damage kids are doing to themselves with these dangerous legal drugs (a very popular angle). So you’ll be needing an addled kid who’s overdone it. He/She doesn’t have to be permanently addled, but he/she only needs to appear that way for his or her segment for you to get your point across… and I wouldn’t want to be that person in your programme either.

I’m not sure about the “banning a product is in fact a way of endorsing its effects” statement either, as there are thousands of banned substances, most of which are never heard of again because they were either deadly/significantly dangerous or did not have a very nice effect. MDMA is popular not because it’s illegal, it’s popular because it has a nice effect.

but, good luck with your research 😉 try to be the devil’s advocate

BTW this is what she will have to comply to

5.9 Drug taking and solvent abuse

Care needs to be taken to avoid any impression that illegal drugs are an acceptable feature of modern British society, particularly in programmes of special appeal to children and young people. The same caution should be applied to solvent abuse, and detailed demonstrations of methods of illegal drug-taking that could easily be imitated should be avoided. Drug and solvent abuse should not be shown in such a way as to appear problem-free or glamorous. (See Section 1.2(i))

Section 5 | Ofcom

even though they are “legal” highs they are still substitutes for illegal drugs and only haven’t been picked up by legislation yet, and it could be argued if solvent abuse (which is merely a misuse of a legal chemical) is discouraged then the same should apply to these “research chemicals”

Apparently some youth have also attacked cops in that area, and the police sargeant is actively monitoring online forums..

I’m sure the rest of us can proudly state our scrotums are intact (apart from the ladies of course)

ouch! now that had to hurt!

how quick do you think they can make it illegal?

if really pushed it could be done before the next election I reckon. bear in mind the ACMD’s lost its balls now never mind its scrotum, so all the remaining people there will do exactly what the Government tell them to.

I think it might be timed just so it makes Labour look “tough on drugs” pre election (it has always been a criticism of even midlly “left wing” parties they are soft on drugs/crime) and even if they lose passes on the poisoned chalice to Cameron as he will have to deal with a resurgence in “real drugs” being sold if mephedrone is clamped down on

I think the Tories will increase surveillance and enforcement on class C and B as well as A, and move towards a Malaysian style régime – not hanging people as thats against EU rules, but forced attendance at rehab or the threat of worse penalties…
