Résumé :
One unintended consequence of current medicines legislation is to leave distributors of 'legal highs' unable to disclose the true purpose of their product. General commonsense precautions that apply to any psychoactive drug cannot be given without risking prosecution. The dilemma is what to do between the appearance of a problem, risk assessment and the inevitable but uncertain legislative response.
