Concerns about a 'second wave' of mephedrone use among young people has prompted a local drug awareness charity to launch a new campaign.
DASH says the substance, or what those who buy it believe to be 'plant food', seems to have become more prevalent among 15 and 16-year-olds on the Island.
This Saturday the organisation will be in the Strand Shopping Centre, launching its Star Wars-themed campaign against the 'Plant Food Menace', Darth Vader, Stormtroopers and all.
DASH's Shelly Stanley says there is a serious message within all this, though:
