Prohibition is the cause

This is a problem created by government via the people who vote for them. These legal highs are a CUSED by prohibition of cannabis - they would not even exist if not for the prohibition of cannabis. These people who want to ban them are probably the people responsible for them being in existence. Prohibition does not and has NEVER worked - when will they ever learn. People are directed via bad government laws to purchase this man made product because the other one is hard to get due to prohibition. PS: I do not smoke either of them, but I know what would be preferable if I were. It is a well known FACT prohibition causes deadlier drugs to be manufactured.
BAN IT!
