Teenagers in the Isle of Man are being told it's their choice if they want to take drugs, but they must be prepared to face the consequences.
The warning follows the criminalisation of mephedrone, also known as 'plant food', on April 1.
Last week police officers spoke to year nine pupils at Ramsey Grammar School about the dangers associated with the former 'legal high', and other drugs.
PC Gianni Fabrizio told them what could happen if they started using illegal substances:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
7:45pm Manxman crossing and its return have been called off
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Fayle jailed for 18 years and 9 months
Complaints process for health system changed
Patients told to direct concerns to service used
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Manx Wild Bird Aid say it's a recurring problem in Peel
