ハフィントンポスト各国版11月26日のスプラッシュを紹介します。スプラッシュとは、ハフィントンポストのトップ記事のこと。本日は、UK(イギリス)版からお伝えします。

イギリスでも脱法ドラッグの蔓延が社会問題化しています。堺雅人主演のドラマのタイトルでも有名になった「Legal High」(リーガル・ハイ)は、英語で脱法ドラッグのことを意味します。

現行の法律では、危険な脱法ドラッグ(リーガル・ハイ)の氾濫を抑え切れていないと薬物の専門家は警告を発しています。

見かけ上禁止されている未検査薬は、実際には脱法ドラッグとしてイギリスのテイクアウト料理の店や新聞販売店、そしてペットショップなどで販売されています。それらは、ドラッグそのものよりも危険かもしれません。

「化学が法律にまさっている」と、ドラッグに関する法律改正の研究を行っているチャリティ団体「ドラッグ・スコープ」のハリー・シャピーロ氏はハフィントンポストUK版編集部に述べています。

シャピーロ氏は、こうした新しい「デザイナー・ドラッグ」がひっきりなしに現れ、分析してみると、禁止薬物が含まれていることも頻繁にあると述べています。

若者は「クロックワーク・オレンジ(時計じかけのオレンジ)」や「エクソダス・ダムネーション」(地獄への脱出)といったショッキングな名前の脱法ドラッグに手を出し、結果的にけいれんや発作を起こして病院に担ぎ込まれる、と「ドラッグ・スコープ」は懸念を示しています。

La situación del PP valenciano
ALBERTO FABRA(01 of11)
Open Image Modal
El presidente de la Comunidad Valenciana, Alberto Fabra, llegó al poder por la caída de Francisco Camps.\n\nDe carácter discreto y sin palabras rudas, Fabra tampoco escapa a las polémicas. La contratación de un asesor personal para mejorar sus técnicas de liderazgo levantó una gran polvareda. \n\nFinalmente, tuvo que echar marcha atrás y ordenar que la Generalitat no abonará ni un euro por este servicio. (credit:EFE)
RITA BARBERÁ(02 of11)
Open Image Modal
La alcaldesa de Valencia, Rita Barberá, vive pendiente ahora del \'caso Nóos\'. \n\nEl juez José Castro ve indicios racionales de hasta cuatro delitos que pudo cometer la regidora: malversación, prevaricación, fraude a la Administración y falsedad en documento oficial.\n\nElla se defiende y dice que hay \"falsedades\" y \"falta de rigor\" en el escrito del juez que investiga el caso de Iñaki Urdangarin.\n\nLa secretaria general del PP, María Dolores de Cospedal, considera que ha sido la mejor alcaldesa de la ciudad y espera que lo sea por mucho tiempo. (credit:GTRES)
FRANCISCO CAMPS(03 of11)
Open Image Modal
Francisco Camps presumía de que Mariano Rajoy le llamaba \'Paco\'.\n\nCamps ya no es el honorable presidente de la Comunidad Valenciana. Ahora se enfrenta a las acusaciones, como Barberá, del juez Castro sobre su relación con el \'caso Nóos\' e Iñaki Urdangarin.\n\nAl final, se libró judicialmente de la \'causa de los trajes\' pagados por la trama Gürtel. Pero, desde entonces, su futuro político quedó en barbecho.\n\n (credit:GTRES)
RAFAEL BLASCO(04 of11)
Open Image Modal
El exconseller de Solidaridad y diputado Rafael Blasco es el protagonista del último escándalo político en Valencia.\n\nLa propia Abogacía de la Generalitat pide 11 años de cárcel por el supuesto desvío de fondos de ayudas en el \'caso Cooperación\'.\n\nLa dirección del PP quiere que abandone su escaño, pero Blasco se resiste. ¿Quién ganará el pulso? (credit:EFE)
NIURKA MONTALVO(05 of11)
Open Image Modal
La que fuera campeona del mundo de salto de longitud se convirtió en uno de los fichajes estrella de Francisco Camps.\n\nEn la semana que viaja Rajoy a Valencia, el juez ha acordado imputarla por el \'caso Gürtel\'.
ALFONSO BATALLER(06 of11)
Open Image Modal
Los tentáculos de \'Gürtel\' llegan también al alcalde de Castellón, Alfonso Bataller.\n\nEl regidor está imputado por la contratación de Orange Market y empresas vinculadas para el Premio Salud y Sociedad 2007, etapa en la que ejerció como subsecretario de la Consejería de Sanidad. (credit:EFE)

Martínez (la segunda por la izquierda) fue consejera del Gobierno de Francisco Camps y presidenta de las Cortes autonómicas.\n\nAhora está imputada por su relación con la \'trama Gürtel\', cuyos cabecillas la llamaban \'La Perla\'.

CARLOS FABRA(10 of11)
Open Image Modal
Es el hombre más poderoso de Castellón (aunque no presida ya la Diputación).\n\nEl juez Jacobo Pin decretó el pasado mes de marzo la apertura de juicio oral a Fabra por un presunto delito continuado de tráfico de influencias, un delito continuado de cohecho y cuatro delitos contra la Hacienda Pública.
RICARDO COSTA(11 of11)
Open Image Modal
El que fuera \'mano derecha\' de Francisco Camps en el partido y uno de los hombres fuertes en la comunidad pasa hoy desapercibido en las Cortes valencianas.\n\nLlamado a ser uno de los grandes valores del Partido Popular, su implicación en el \'caso Gürtel\' y la polémica \'causa de los trajes\' dejó en un segundo plano al hermano del exministro Juan Costa.\n\nLa España política vibró con su enfrentamiento con María Dolores de Cospedal por conservar la secretaría general del PP valenciano.

Black Friday Romance?(20 of26)
Open Image Modal
According to the New York Daily News, two individuals have Black Friday to thank for their unique love-at-first-sight story. The two lovebirds struck up conversation while standing in line at a Long Island Kmart. The small talk turned into sweet talk as the two waited in line together for a total of seven hours before doors opened. Fast forward two years, and the couple is happily married with fond memories of the day they met, saying, \"Black Friday will always be a memorable day for us. That was the day that changed our lives.\" (Getty photo)\r\n
Woman Shakes Up Shoppers With Death Threats(21 of26)
Open Image Modal
Shoppers were shaken up last year at Toys \"R\" Us in Wisconsin, when a woman named Lanessa Lattimore threatened to shoot shoppers who were waiting in line outside the store. A confrontation began after the woman tried to cut the line of several hundred people. Lanessa told CNN, \"Everybody was cutting in line. But there was one girl who was threatening me, so I told her that I\'d shoot her.\" Although no weapon was found, she was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. (Getty photo)
Kim Kardashian: Best Black Friday Buddy?(22 of26)
Open Image Modal
A poll conducted by AOL back in 2009 revealed that Kim Kardashian was voted the person you\'d most like to go shopping with on Black Friday, as the NY Daily News reported. She even beat out Victoria Beckham for the best shopping buddy title. Would you want to spend Black Friday shopping with Kim? Something tells us that the poll results would be quite a bit different this year... (Getty photo)
... And Kayne West, The Biggest "Turkey"?(23 of26)
Open Image Modal
The same AOL poll that voted Kim K. as the \"best shopping buddy\" also revealed that Americans think Kanye West was the biggest \"turkey\" of 2009... whatever that means. Bear in mind that this poll took place shortly after his Taylor Swift interruption scandal at the Grammy\'s that year. According to the New York Daily News, Kanye beat out the likes of Jon Gosselin, Levi Johnston, Spencer Pratt,and Michael Lohan. In other words, it sounds like being called a \"turkey\" is just a kinder way of saying \"biggest D-bag.\" (Getty photo)
Shopping Cart Heist (24 of26)
Open Image Modal
A strange shopping cart heist took place at a Toys \"R\" Us in the Bronx in 2009, the New York Daily News reported. Thieves stole 500 shopping carts starting on Black Friday and continued to nab carts throughout the holiday season. Shoppers were left annoyed as they were forced to carry all of their purchases, since no carts were anywhere to be found. Police suspect that the carts -- which cost a hefty $200 a piece -- were either stolen by gang members to sell metal scraps for money or taken by homeless people who use them to carry their belongings.

Hotel Deals For The Extreme Shopper(25 of26)
Open Image Modal
When stores in Indianapolis had a super successful Black Friday back in 2009, hotels decided to try and take advantage of visiting shoppers by targeting the eve of Black Friday. According to USA Today, the Conrad Hotel was among the first to notice this opportunity and advertised to serious out-of-town shoppers who planned on rising early to hit the sales. The deal offers $99 for a room on Thanksgiving night, as well as a personal shopping appointment at Nordstrom, a free coffee and a free shoeshine. Other hotels have also developed similar deals to cash in on the night of Thanksgiving, too. It sure beats camping out overnight for the doors to open in the morning. (Getty photo)
Shooting Over Flat Screen TV(26 of26)
Open Image Modal
Another story that will make your heart sink: the tragic shooting of a man in Queens who was shot by robbers on Black Friday back in 2009, as the New York Daily News first reported. The elderly man was walking with his new flat-screen TV in a parking lot, when robbers ruthlessly shot him dead in an attempt to steal his new purchase. However, the TV didn\'t fit in the trunk of their getaway car, and witnesses reported that they dumped the TV on the street as they quickly fled the scene of the crime. (Getty photo)
