Consumed frequently or in large doses of these herbs can have very serious effects.Police in the European phenomenon, but people are bound by the hands of law because the plants are sold in these stores are not prohibited in the country and traders, as legistativ vacuum in the field, go on the principle that what is not prohibited by law allowed.The first inspections were conducted in Brasov, where the Organized Crime and Drugs Squad in the county took notice about a store that sells such products ethnobotanical, but laboratory results have identified the plants sold any of the categories of substances banned by law in Romania . People have made the same finding of law and a fly shop in the city of Focsani.
