The UK government has recently introduced legislation banning the production, distribution, sale and supply of legal highs. The law is designed to stop what has been described as a tsunami of chemicals flooding into the UK. But the drugs are still finding their way onto Britain’s streets. For Assignment, Danny Vincent traces the supply back to labs in China and discovers a myriad of psychoactive substances that are still only a few clicks away.
