The UK government are currently moving to outlaw a legal high which could feasibly show up on the Isle of Man soon, if it's not here already.
Mexxy is branded as a safe alternative to the illegal substance, ketamine, however users have started to report that its usage can result in the same side effects.
The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs in the UK has given government 20 days to decide whether or not they will impose a year long ban, whilst further investigations are carried out.
A temporary ban in the UK would not apply to the Island, with it upto our government to introduce the relevant legislation.
Drugs advice service and help line, DASH, have said 'People need to remember that because the substance is currently legal it doesn't mean it is in anyway safe - there have been reports of people ending up in hospital in the UK.'
Anyone experiencing problems should contact the service on 615622.
