A legal high is a drug - a substance used to produce an altered state of mind - that is not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act and is therefore legal to possess.

However, legal high can be a misleading term because most of the substances are regulated by the Medicines Act, which makes it illegal to sell, supply or advertise them for human consumption.

The substances are generally bought from head shops or from internet sites.

Many suppliers use descriptions such as bath salts, incense or plant food.

They claim these substances are "not intended for human consumption" as a way of getting around the drugs laws.

Legal highs are sold under a variety of names, often with no ingredients listed on the packet, so it is very hard to know what you are taking.
