Police warn users after ‘legal high’ drugs death

Police have issued a warning about a synthetic form of cannabis known as Black Mamba following the death of a man suspected of using it.

The 37-year-old was found after police were called to an address on London Road, Nottingham, around 7.40pm on Saturday.

He was declared dead at the scene, while a 39-year-old was taken to hospital in a non life-threatening condition.

Nottinghamshire Police said they believed both men had been taking the psychoactive substance, which was made illegal under a blanket ban on “legal highs” last year.
