Just two people in the north have faced charges in the four months since the introduction of a new law cracking down on 'legal highs'.
The Psychoactive Substances Act came into effect in Britain and Northern Ireland on May 26.
It makes it an offence to produce, supply or offer to supply any psychoactive substance if it is likely to be used for its psychoactive effects, regardless of its potential for harm.
Offenders can face up to seven years in prison, and police also have new powers to seize and destroy psychoactive substances, as well as carry out searches of people, premises and vehicles.
