The misuse of drugs act appears to ban substances by their chemical compound, so by changing the compound slightly, it'd potentially become legal again. I read the article as them banning anything that is a high, but then adding excludes for the likes of alcohol, caffeine and tobacco.
The problem with a complete ban is that the people determined to have them will find alternatives. There's not too much difference in the price between them and cheap (fake) ecstasy. This for example as a legal high replacement could present a much bigger problem.
I can remember the days a single Ecstasy Pill would cost up to 15 quid and some lads I knew would take sniff Coke through a rolled up £20 note and one lad I knew used a £50 as he said 'I want people to think I am minted' though I would not be surprised if the £50 note was a forgery...
What that has to do with anything I don't know, was just thinking about it lol
