I watched with amazement at tonight’s primetime program talking about the legal highs available in headshops in Ireland. They first mentioned mushrooms and then interviewed drug addicts on the street who prefer Mephedrone to Cocaine.
According to skanger Jim:
“they say they are bath salts and you put them into water but after taking it you are on a mad one “
I investigated the claim that Mephedrone is illegal in the UK. As of the guardian on dec 5th it is not:
Martin Barnes, chief executive of Drugscope, the national drugs information charity, says “we should avoid panicky, knee-jerk responses. To respond that the law should ban [mephedrone] is a blunt instrument. The important issue is education; people need to have access to reliable information. At the moment, it is all word-of-mouth and what people read on internet chat rooms.”
As for the suppliers, the feeling appears to be that a ban is inevitable. “I think mephedrone will be made illegal within a year
The government were there too and I could’nt help but get the feeling they wheeled out this non issue at the time when lots of really bad things are happening.
I noticed someone searching for “buying weed in dublin”:

I dont recommend that herbal weed, it is nasty.

There is even a facebook group who want it banned but these comments are funny.
I think it sounds like a cross between methadone and my favourite type of music, drone (careful this is not for the weak)

He didnt mention if it was to be obtained through headshops though.
