It\u2019s not quite clear what a government that has failed to impact on the widespread use of illicit drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and marijuana expected to achieve by making the so called legal highs illegal. It certainly hasn\u2019t seemed to had an impact on their use in London.<br><br>Spice (and varieties thereof) is a case in point. The drugs are created inexpensively and easily in a laboratory and marketed in a way that leads the user to mistake them for a relatively harmless recreational drug. But the havoc the drugs have wreaked on the poorest and most disadvantaged members of our society is terrifying to behold. Because of the relative cheapness of the drugs combined with their extreme potency the homeless, the jobless, and the hopeless are easy prey for the dealers. Bearing in mind the zombie-like state and risk of seizures, stroke, psychosis, kidney failure, and brain damage suffered by the addicts as well as the extraordinarily unpredictable and violent effect on mood and behavior the dangers are clear.<br><br>As if exploiting the poorest, least educated, most disadvantaged sections of society isn\u2019t enough \u2013 the apparent innocence of the drugs \u2013 fuelled by the misleading benign tag \u201clegal highs\u201d has led perfectly well-educated, well heeled, \u2018bright young things\u2019 countrywide to dabble in their use and pay a hefty price indeed.<br><br>How do people become addicted? Well it has nothing to do with pleasure. There\u2019s a blurred line between intoxication and illness that only becomes apparent to users once they realise they\u2019re addicted. The symptoms of basic intoxication and food poisoning are incredibly similar \u2013 yet one appears to be desirable whereas the other is certainly not. Most addicts who attend Allen Carr\u2019s addiction clinics for treatment for heroin addiction are no longer under the impression that they take the drug for pleasure \u2013 far from it. They find it very easy to agree with the explanation we provide that the reason they take the drug is in an attempt to feel normal.<br><br>When the addict first takes the drug \u2013 after a period they experience withdrawal. It\u2019s an uncomfortable feeling that was created by taking the drug. When the addict takes another dose of the drug \u2013 the discomfort disappears and they give the credit for the feeling of normality that replaces it \u2013 to the drug. Allen Carr described it as akin to wearing tight shoes \u2013 simply for the \u2018relief\u2019 of taking them off. Upon this basic confidence trick \u2013 all addiction is built. Luckily, even for heroin addicts or Mamba or Spice addicts \u2013 it only takes a few hours to get free.
