Totally ban legal highs , they are killing people

These highs that u can buy from a shop, are more dangerous than we are being told, after having one drag of what my daughter thought was a roll up, 4 and 1/2 hours she was unconscious and 3 days later still in hospital having tests for brain damage and epilepsy.

We were very sorry to read about what has happened to your daughter. However, we can’t accept your petition in its current form because we are not sure exactly what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take. Parliament has very recently passed a law which bans legal highs. This law is called the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016.

This law makes it a criminal offence to produce and supply legal highs (also referred to as a psychoactive substance), which is punishable with up to 12 months in prison. The Act also gives the police power to stop and search people they suspect of carrying and supplying legal highs, to enter and search property they suspect of selling legal highs and to seize such prohibited goods.

You can find out more about what is included in the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 using the following website: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2016/2/contents/enacted/data.htm

If you would like Parliament to take additional action on legal highs, you could start a new petition calling clearly for the specific additional action you would like.
