Death by Mephedrone

Teachers may now confiscate Mephedrone or MMCAT from pupils although its not illegal yet, the school minister has said it was feared that teachers were unable to seize the drug and other legal highs under the existing law.

But schools minister Vernon Cloaker has written to every school in England telling them they can seize the drugs under existing rules. Mephedrone has been linked to the deaths of Louis Wainwright who was 18 and Nicholas Smirth who was 19 both in Scunthorpe, United Kingdom.

In the letter, Mr Coaker said the law has given teachers the power to confiscate all innapropriate items irrespective of their legal status. Schools are now under no obligation to turn the confiscated substances.

The government’s drug advisory body is to present its guidance on Mephedrone or MMCAT on March 29th so I cannot see this drug being legal for much longer. They have become worried because the drug is legal and children as young as 12 are trying it.

Mephedrone has become popular on the UK club scene and in recent months and has been said to have similar effects to ecstasy and MDMA. The two teenagers who died were found collapsed at their homes after a night out drinking in Scunthorpe, United Kingdom.

Humberside Police said the drug appeared to have contributed to their deaths. I advise anyone thinking of trying this shit to stay well clear of it.
