Call for action as shop sells alternative to ecstasy, coke

A CLASS A drug which is banned in the US is being sold legally in shops in Dublin, as an alternative to ecstasy and cocaine.

Pills containing BZP, a synthetic compound which mimics the effects of MDMA, are available for €12 from the ‘Head Shop’ in Dublin’s Temple Bar area.

The same shop sold Magic Mushrooms before they were banned last year.
