| Message: | Mephedrone
A powerful stimulant that’s often compared to drugs like cocaine and ecstasy.
What does it look like?
A very fine white powder
A very fine off-white or yellowish powder
Mephedrone was first sold over the internet as an alternative to drugs like speed, ecstasy and cocaine. Dealers sold the drug as ‘plant food’ or ‘bath salts’ and labelled it ‘not for human consumption’ to get around the law.
What does it taste/smell like?
People have compared the smell to cat pee and exhaust fumes, and say that it tastes foul and metallic.
How do people take it?
By snorting it
Snorting is the most common way of taking mephedrone.
By swallowing it in ‘bombs’
Some people wrap the powder in a cigarette paper and swallow it (known as ‘bombing’).
By taking capsules and pills
It can also be found in capsules and tablets, but this is much less common.
By injecting it
Injecting mephedrone, as with other stimulants, is very risky because of the fast-acting, intensity of the hit. Users often feel the need to redose too, which can result in serious injecting-related injuries as well as overdose.
How does it make you feel?
Mephedrone is often described as being like a mix between speed, ecstasy and cocaine.
