LEGAL high users in Taunton have been phoning a shop in Bridgwater to arrange delivery of the drugs to the county town, a BBC investigation has revealed.

An 18-year-old undercover researcher called in her order for three products to Buzzin and paid for them with £80 in cash when they were delivered by car.

The Inside Out programme on Monday showed footage of the driver describing one of the legal highs as “popular” and told her which one he liked.

The reporter then asked if there was enough for four people, to which the delivery man replied: “Yes, there’s loads – three grams.”

When she inquired how long one of the drugs took to kick in, the driver said they were “not for human consumption”.

Buzzin has declined to comment.

But Trading Standards said it is unlawful to sell legal highs for human consumption and said the driver should not have sold the drugs because it was “reasonably foreseeable” they would be taken by the buyer.

Nick Smith, of South West Action Group (SWAG), which wants to see legal highs banned, said they are usually labelled as horticultural products or potpourri.

He said: “It’s good that this activity has been exposed by the BBC.

“It’s all very well saying they’re not for human consumption, but they know full well what they’re selling.

“How many horticultural businesses run delivery services for their products at 12o’clock at night?”

Mr Smith praised the efforts of police in Taunton, who successfully applied to a court to close Hush legal high shop in the town for six months.

Taunton Deane Council has banned the use of its premises for the sale of the drugs and is running a public consultation on combating the use of them in public places in the town centre.
