Concerns about a 'second wave' of mephedrone use among young people has prompted a local drug awareness charity to launch a new campaign.
DASH says the substance, or what those who buy it believe to be 'plant food', seems to have become more prevalent among 15 and 16-year-olds on the Island.
This Saturday the organisation will be in the Strand Shopping Centre, launching its Star Wars-themed campaign against the 'Plant Food Menace', Darth Vader, Stormtroopers and all.
DASH's Shelly Stanley says there is a serious message within all this, though:
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
Onchan Commissioners 'disappointed' at village post office closure
