The government are to publish draft laws to create a blanket ban on any substance intended for consumption that would induce a psychoactive effect, for a long time people have been taking risks with their health by taking substances that would induce a so called 'legal high'.

Certain substances will be excluded from the ban such as Alcohol and Tobacco.
