Shannonside radio: Calls for Roscommon to follow Drogheda Head-shop owner's lead

The Roscommon anti-head shop campaigners are to put pressure on the landlord of the High Times store in the County Town to see if he will seek an injunction against the products being sold in it.It follows a decision by a Judge at Drogheda District Court, who this week instructed a Head Shop in the town to stop selling legal highs.Meanwhile Experts are warning that a new highly dangerous drug may be about to hit Britain.At a court sitting in Drogheda this week Justice Matt Deery placed an injunction on the premises and told the operator of the shop to revert to its original fancy dress costumes and party goods business.The action was brought by the landlord of the building who said the use of the premises as a head shop was directly affecting his ability to get his insurance which is in breach of his tenancy agreement. He also said he took the action after he realised the shop had been converted and following recent arson attacks on such stores in Dublin.Its understood the injunction is the first of its type and shows there is now an avenue for owners to stop these activities on their premises.Speaking to Shannonside News this morning the Roscommon campaigners say while they are not fully awarde of the tenacy agreement for the High Times store, they will be pursuing this issue with the Landlord.Meanwhile Experts are warning a new highly dangerous drug - NRG-1 may be about to hit Britain.The drug is thought to be even more deadly than Mephedrone - the legal high which is about to be banned and is reportedly even stronger than cocaine, more addictive than heroin and costs just 25 pence per hit.
