I dont post warning like this but we all need to stop this shit getting into clubs. nice one on pulling methadrone from the market as now we have a nasty drug that costs 25p to kids.
Taken from the Sun http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/291437...
The horror drug COSTS just 25p a hit compared to �10 for a rock of crack cocaine, yet it is 13 times STRONGER than coke and even more ADDICTIVE than heroin.
But authorities are powerless to prevent it flooding our streets because it is completely LEGAL.
Dave, a drug manufacturer and legal stimulant seller based in Belgium, said yesterday: "It is the worst drug ever to hit the shores of Britain. It makes meow meow look like baby powder.
"It will wreck hundreds of lives and kill many times more than meow meow - and far more horrifically. It will make users want to tear out their own eyes.
"It makes people feel like God Himself - but really it is the Devil's Powder."
Scots-born Dave admits sending meow meow to Britain but has stopped after it was implicated in 26 deaths. He agreed to speak to The Sun amid moves to make the substance, officially known as mephedrone, illegal in Britain.
He turned whistleblower to us in a bid to prevent NRG-1 - which also has the street names Energy 1 or Rave - reaching the UK's markets too.
He said the new drug, otherwise known as naphyrone, would kill and mentally destroy so many people it would quickly "fill an Olympic stadium".
Speaking to us in the port city of Antwerp, he warned: "Naphyrone comes from Chinese factories and what it does to users is truly frightening.

"It will make them feel like God for about 12 hours. But when it wears off they will feel worse than they ever have in their lives. They won't sleep for three days.
"It juices the brain, causing cerebral burn-out of a degree not seen before. It causes paranoia and suicidal tendencies and permanently alters brain chemistry with horrifying consequences."
And he went on: "The worst thing is that it is completely legal. It is being marketed as a mephedrone replacement and will be bought by children.
"It can be made by anyone with a GCSE in chemistry for around 10p a gram. That would give one person around 80 hours of the ultimate legal high, then destroy them.
"Such a tiny amount is needed that it will turn up in playgrounds for 25p a hit. I think it will become Europe's crystal meth."
Dave said each hit of naphyrone was 13 times more potent than cocaine. And just a few granules of the off-white powder have the chemical effect of a "mega speedball" - like taking crystal meth, cocaine and ecstasy combined.
Dave added: "I won't sell meow meow again because of what has happened in Britain, with people selling the drug and then not telling them it can become lethal when mixed with alcohol.
"Marketing it as plant food is the most idiotic thing that could ever happened. That decision cost lives.
"But naphyrone is the one that sends shivers down my spine. I won't touch it and want to warn people how terrifying this drug is."
Dave, who left the UK to run Alchemy Labz selling "ethical" stimulants on the Continent, showed us dozens of websites already flogging naphyrone to Brits.
And drugs forums are crammed with questions from excited youngsters about the "brand new" meow meow - at the same time as seasoned users warned against it.
Warning ... the molecular make-up of ecstasy, mephedrone and NRG-1 are terrifyingly similar

One posted: "It is flying to Heaven - and waking up in Hell."
The chemical make-up of both mephedrone and naphyrone are only slightly different - and BOTH are terrifyingly similar to ecstasy.
Dave explained that mephedrone gives users a high by overdosing the body's pleasure receptors.
But naphyrone works by over-stimulating not only those receptors, but also ones which flood the body with adrenaline. The combination causes brain "fry-out".
Dave has written to Home Secretary Alan Johnson and the Drugs Advisory Council about his fears.
He insisted: "No drug is safe and I am definitely not advertising meow meow now. If I ever thought there was a one per cent chance someone would die from a drug I would not sell it at all.
"I understand the chemistry and I want to do the right thing. There needs to be serious action taken, driven by facts and not hysteria.
"There needs to be an open discussion and it needs to hear from law enforcement officers, politicians, youth workers, scientists - and also drug users."
UK drug websites were buzzing with talk about the new substance last night. One user who had tried it warned: "Can't sleep, very bad comedown. Sweating all night."
Dave said: "I am stopping the sale of mephedrone in the UK due to the new legal position.
"I find it terrible that, under the Medicines Act, people have to sell it as plant food - which makes it illegal to tell people that it can be lethal if mixed with alcohol and in fact should not be mixed with any other substance.
"Criminalising people for giving out safety information on what everyone knows is a drug is the most idiotic thing that could ever have happened."
He also explained that there are three different strengths of NRG1 (naphyrone.)
And he added: "Naphyrone is NOT the same as mephedrone in its effects. It is not a replacement. It is a killer."

'Meow meow' LIS hehe I'm with the Students for Sensible Drug Policy on this. The banning substances has only made things worse. Symbols can never be what it is they represent. | |||||

Sensible drug policy? Surely the only sensible policy is not to put cr@p in to your body when you have no idea what it is! Legal drugs aka: medicines, have to go through a lot of testing and regulation and most still have nasty side effects or can be lethal in excess, but at least you know when you buy them what those side effects are and that the prescribed amount wont be lethal not to mention that they have been consistently manufactured and monitored. If people want to chase "legal highs" then they should accept the risks of their own stupidity. | |||||

Pretty grim reading  If what I have read about the Chinese continually developing new drugs faster than we can ban them, surely we are always going to be one, or more, steps behind. I do not know if banning them is the right answer, as one of the effects of this procedure is that brings the drugs very much into the public gaze via the media, and hence people, including adolescents and children get to know about them. I am older, and hopefully wiser, but I know that had I been born 30 years later than I was, I would probably have been intrigued and tempted to try drugs. I can only imagine the consequences. I don't know what the answer is, but I know we are already fighting a losing battle, and it would seem we are entering a new era of choice and availability. Quite daunting.

That's not a very sensible outlook, many people will try legal drugs without properly looking into the effects, doses, side effects etc simply because they are 'legal' and they expect them to be less risky or harmful then the illegal alternatives, when it's well known among those that have studied into it that legal drugs can be just as, or in many cases much more lethal. I would argue that drugs are rarely made illegal for anyones safety.

It might as well be a real artical, just replace NRG-1 with JWH-018 or likewise. Symbols can never be what it is they represent. | |||||

Gosh, millions must be dying horrifying deaths from naphyrone.....poor marketing policy that...kill your customers for the profit you getfrom 25p!! Maybe this quality newspaper is being just a teensy weensy bit hysterical????? I loved the technical expertise the (ex-mephedrone salesman indeed!) interviewee had when he states the drug fries your brains....he must have studied medecine for years to have come up with that one. I guess deaths from alcohol abuse are far less common and far less unpalatable to The Stun, its readers and British society. Anything but ordinary Edited 9 Apr 10, 7:32 AM by AngelFingers1 | |||||

But that would be an inconvenient truth......Certainly to the exchequer. Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great Calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.
