COCAINE HIGH ENERGY DRINK

That this House condemns the expected launch in the UK of the high energy drink Cocaine later this summer; notes that the American firm which developed this drink sells it as the legal alternative to the class A drug; further notes that it contains substances that numb the throat to simulate the effect of taking cocaine; welcomes the comments made by Drugscope that this is cynical and irresponsible marketing; believes that this drink may glamorise drug taking; and calls on the Government to stop its launch this summer.
