Gardaí unable to pursue 'legal high' prosecutions even if linked to cases of death
“We have an issue with some new psychoactive substances… there are certain proofs we need for the courts and one of them is to prove they are psychoactive,” Detective Inspector Tony Howard told last night’s Í programme on RTÉ.
The psychoactive substance Clockwork Orange, in particular, was linked to the deaths of two young men in Monaghan earlier this year. The synthetic cannabis is predominantly sold online, but also by street dealers.
