A new legal high has surfaced in which the Tory Crime Prevention Minister, James Brokenshire, has advised that they will fast-track bans on emerging legal highs. Since the ban of mephedrone, also known as ‘miaow miaow’, new legal highs are begining to surface and if not careful, could potentially flood the market. Brokenshire said: ”We are going to change our drug laws so we can respond quickly to emerging substances by introducing a temporary ban while we seek full scientific advice.”
