Cannabis substitutes made class B in Guernsey

A full import and export ban on "legal highs" was introduced in November

Cannabis substitutes such as spice, mojo, and juju have been reclassified as class B substances.

A ban on the import and export of the drugs, formerly referred to as legal highs, came in during November.

The health and social services and home departments were behind the latest move that brings Guernsey into line with the UK's drug laws.

Concerns have been raised over the health risks associated with taking the substances.

Treating people off-island cost £400,000 during the first 10 months of 2009, the government claimed.
