Absolutely. My 10-year-old is one of these kids who is embedded in YouTube. Has his own account. Posts excellent videos. Engages with the comments. I’m gutted that the govt has zero sense. And there’s no way this will be enforceable, it’s ludicrous.

More drug wisdom from @FMeasham and @WeAreTheLoopUK on “tusi”. It really isn’t 2C-B, folks!
Tusi could contain anything & in the UK it is often a random mixture, possibly containing MDMA, ketamine & caffeine in varying quantities. Tusi is a moderately successful marketing ploy to offload random powders by dying them pink.
