HAMPSHIRE and Isle of Wight Youth Commission is taking its Lethal Highs campaign to festivals across the region to raise awareness among young people of the dangers of so-called legal highs.

The commission launched the campaign in October 2015 to inform young people, parents and people who work with young people of the changes in the law relating to psychoactive substances, and how it could impact them or their friends, relatives or pupils and to educate people on the consequences of taking such substances.
