I'm quite convinced that one of these legal highs is going to leak out eventually that results in a significant number of deaths. This will then be blamed on "drugs" in the abstract, or on the victims themselves, or on the owners of headshops. The vile irony is, however, that it is those levelling the blame -- the politicians and their tabloid bosses -- who will be truly responsible.
For it is prohibition that is the real "drugs problem".
Agreed - the very reason I started this thread was because I believe Ivory Wave could turn out to be the one that does cause a soignificant number of deaths.
Incidentally, my own experience of legals has been no less rocky than yours - I tried quite a few of the BZP-based pills that appeared on the martket a few years ago, and the effect of the strongest one - Triple X - was similar to that of three lines of cheap sulphate cut with a dose of equally poor quality coke.
I was told it didn't have the comedown you get with Es, but it kept me awake for 24 hours afterwards, whereas with Es I've always been able to just go home afterwards and sleep it off. Admittedly, you do feel a bit spaced out for a couple of days afterwards, but it's nothing compared the dehydration, insomnia, paranoia and depression I felt the day after after taking BZP - a substance I doubt would ever have been marketed at clubbers if it wasn't for the fact that Ecstacy is illegal.
