Election year, huh?

"All synthetic drugs will be pulled off the shelves within two weeks, until individual testing has proven each brand is "low-risk", the Government has announced. 

Association Health Minister Peter Dunne told Fairfax Media, "while there has been a substantial reduction in the number of these products available and the number of outlets from which they can be sold, reports of severe adverse reactions continue to be received by the National Poisons Centre and Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring."…"

The spineless ones seem to be sensing a weather change. The medical profession have been telling them that this crap is bad news for YEARS. 

But now large numbers of VOTERS are getting upset. They need to get upset more bloody often!

I still think the best deterrent is to drug screen in the workplace. This needs to include anyone on an unemployment benefit and needs to be backed up by billing related medical conditions for their treatment costs (alcohol too!)

It's been an interesting experiment and you can see how the LEGAL, albeit restricted, sales of amphetamines and opiates would probably pan out.

Sorry folks, try again in the 22nd century.

A tragic waste

Of VB!

REAL news

I recall this sort of thing being pronounced as 'impossible' not too many years ago.

One of a great many impossible things that has become almost commonplace.

Yet these amazing stories of REAL science are just relegated to page fillers, while the front page is all about what celebrity is knocked up/in rehab/dead from an OD...
