Fears ‘mysterious’ head shop drugs are toxic

EXPERTS have issued warnings over a new generation of head shop drugs containing “mysterious and unknown” substances which could be toxic.

Irish scientists have identified 13 new chemicals which are now on sale in head shops. Researchers in Trinity College Dublin have expressed “great concern” at the rise in the number of “unknown” substances, which, they say, scientists have not come across before.

The Trinity team said they have no idea what impact these mysterious substances may have on users or how poisonous they might be.
