British YouTuber Drew Gilchrist is said to detail taking LSD in one of his videos.

When asked questioned on the content, he is reported to have told The Mirror Online: “Tutorials exist on the ­internet. YouTube is nothing special.”

But reports that the video sharing giant is refusing to remove the dangerous clips, which don't carry advertising.

A spokesman for YouTube told them: "We make exceptions for material with sufficient educational, documentary, news, ­scientific or artistic value.

Kayleigh Rundle's 15-year-old sister Shakira Pellow died last week after taking ecstasy.

She said it was "unbelievable" YouTube "would allow videos like this knowing that millions of children use it every day".
