A WOMAN from Mapplewell has launched a petition to ban the sale of legal highs after a family member has become addicted to them "in a bad way".
Alisha Simpson is calling for shops such as Smokey Sams on Sheffield Road to be stopped from selling legal highs.
She said: "This has become an increasing problem in Barnsley so I would like to try and make a difference."
MP Dan Jarvis, who has fought against the sale of 'psychoactive substances', is backing Alisha's petition.
