GIGGLES AT 'HIPPY CRACK' PROTEST

Demonstrators have protested against Government drug policy by 
staging a mass inhalation of so-called "hippy crack" in the shadow of 
Parliament.

Dozens sat in Parliament Square in Westminster where they filled 
balloons with nitrous oxide and breathed in "laughing gas " . Many of 
the protesters erupted into giggles before spreading out across the lawn.

The Government plans to introduce a law to ban any mood-altering 
drugs or "legal highs".

Stephen Reid, founder of the Psychedelic Society, said: "People 
should be able to buy, sell and use whatever substances they want, so 
long as there's no harm to others."
