You'll remember our coverage of the once legal high - Mephedrone. Now there's a new legal high being distributed as bath salts. But that's just a cover. It's not something you would put in your bath. Chances are most of you listening have never heard of it. But how many of us had heard of the drug Mephedrone before last year, when the scale of its use here was exposed? Mephedrone was called a legal high then too, but it was banned after politicians spoke out and demanded action. If they thought that was the problem solved, they were wrong. A new substance is now in so called "head" shops called OCEAN SNOW it's being sold as bath salts but is used as a substitute for ecstasy and cocaine. The main purpose of this programme is to provide a platform for YOU to talk about issues YOU feel are important, whatever they may be. That's what this next man did. He wanted to talk to us about his drug addiction. Richard contacted the show hours before going into rehab.
