Article: Designer drugs fight

The European Union presented measures Tuesday making it easier to ban so-called designer drugs - legal substances that create highs by mimicking the effect of banned chemicals such as cocaine or ecstasy.

Such legal drugs are on the rise - with one new substance reported every week this year, according to the European Commission - and are a particular risk to young people in the bloc, with one in 20 admitting to having tried them at least once.
 
From what I've seen it's a cat and mouse game, the manufacturers create the drug, it gets banned then they change the formula slightly and it's legal again. The problem was the blanket ban would lead to all sorts of headaches for legitimate requirements for the used chemicals.
 
Maybe if original drugs where legal people wouldn't need to resort to "designer" drugs, Nitro grass vs Weed is a good example of this.

But.... drugs are bad because drugs, you know. :erm:
