Saw this online a little bit ago and had me thinking that the USA could be doing this as we speak. Pretty un-cool if you ask me!
I’m wondering how they are getting these addresses.

A hunch on another site was that a large vendor got busted and they were using his shipping info, for scare tactics.
Another member quickly registered later on and said that his buddy received one as well, and had never ordered from said busted vendor.
Makes ya wonder then!

They are getting pretty crafty.

Thoughts?

Internet sales of ‘legal highs’ will be targeted in Titan operation

A NATIONAL campaign aimed at tackling so-called ‘legal highs’ will include a crackdown on internet sites that sell the substances.

The operation – led by police and supported by the Home Office, the National Crime Agency and UK Border Force – will raise awareness of the health risks posed by the substances.

Forces from across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, co-ordinated by TITAN – the North-West Regional Organised Crime Unit – will lead the operation.

Health agencies and police have both warned previously about the use of the substances in St Helens and raised fears the ‘highs’ are damaging mental health.

Officers will visit and send letters to people who have bought the substances and target suppliers.

There will be a range of initiatives aimed at stemming the supply of legal highs over the internet.

Detective Chief Superintendent Dermott Horrigan, the head of TITAN, said it was important that the public realised the potential dangers of these drugs.

He said: "Just because a substance is sold in a shop or on the internet as ‘legal’ does not mean it is legal or safe, and sadly there are clever people out there making a lot of money by selling drugs under the misnomer ‘legal highs’ which may in fact pose a risk to people’s health.

"The reality is that many of these products either contain controlled substances which are illegal or uncontrolled substances whose side-effects cannot be predicted.

"Either way, recent research by TITAN has established that people selling these products are profiting on a significant scale and this week’s campaign is about sending a clear message throughout the country as to the potential health risks from products labelled ‘legal highs’.

"It is also about educating people about the consequences of using these products. These include damage to job prospects, reputational impact and travel restrictions caused through having a conviction."

The action is supported by the Home Office, the National Crime Agency and UK Border Force.
