Historical Context

The UK enacted the Psychoactive Substances Act in 2016 to combat the rising threat of new psychoactive substances, resulting in over 1,000 arrests. This legislation reflects ongoing public safety concerns, paralleling issues of sexual abuse highlighted by recent cases like Ricky Morgan's sentencing.
