Substance ban carries jail term of up to seven years

It comes after a blanket ban was announced on legal highs - bringing Manx law in line with the UK.
Those caught with the substances - including laughing gas and synthetic cannabis substitutes - could now face up to seven years in prison.

But explained why the decision was made to ban them.
