Mephedrone: A Highly Dangerous, Legal Drug

Mephedrone, also known as “meow meow,” is legally sold on the Internet as plant fertilizer and is a highly dangerous hallucinogen.

Authorities warn that the drug, which is a chemical relative of Ecstasy, can result in severe hallucinations, nose bleeds, nose burns, blood circulation problems, rashes, anxiety and paranoia, seizures, and heart attack. Users have been known to severely mutilate themselves due to intense hallucinations, such as bugs crawling all over them.

One British police report stated: "A large number of contributors state how addictive mephedrone is and they are constantly popping up as one individual states that after using it for 18 hours his hallucinations led him to believe that centipedes were crawling over him and biting him.” This individual then mutilated his body to the point that he required emergency hospital treatment.

Authorities also warn that the drug can become addictive, and when cut with alcohol or other drugs is likely to result in death. The substance is now banned in Sweden, Israel, Norway and Finland.
