A head shop product bought in north Dublin over the weekend has been confirmed as a cocaine substitute. A Joint Oireachtas Committee was told yesterday, however, that the product is not on the banned list of substances, which was imposed last month to outlaw available legal highs. Fine Gael's health spokesman Dr James Reilly said a concerned citizen had test-purchased the product known as "Amplified" on Saturday in a head shop in a north Dublin village and it had since been given to gardai. However, he told the committee on Health and Children that when he contacted the National Poisons Unit in Beaumont Hospital, it was revealed to be a cocaine substitute.
