A brain scientist who studies the effects of psychedelic drugs on serious illnesses has been left horrified after criminals hijacked his work to make 'legal highs' that caused fatal overdoses.Some scientists are sooooo naive...
Dr David Nichols makes chemicals roughly similar to ecstasy and LSD that help explain how parts of the brain function.
But he said he was shocked to discover underground chemists have been poring over his research papers in order to make recreational drugs for sale on the black market.
Worse, some of these illicit but legal drugs have been implicated in the deaths of young people who took them.
