Psychoactive Substances Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Lyn Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 January 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Psychoactive Substances Bill [Lords].

Genuinely, if the evidence changes and we can see that there are significant harms, we should ban poppers. This is a bit like alcohol: when it is used excessively, it causes massive harm. As I understand it, the way that poppers are generally used, they do not create the kinds of harms that would require us to ban them. We genuinely believe that to ban them would cause more harm than it would solve.
