Mephedrone becomes a class B controlled drug

The Home Office has announced that at the end of the week, the party drug mephedrone, also known as meow meow, bubble or drone, will officially become a Class B controlled drug alongside substances like Amphetamine (speed) and Cannabis. From Friday 16 April 2010, anyone found in possession of mephedrone will be arrested and could face a criminal conviction and up to five years in jail. The change in law also means that those who attempt to supply the drug could be handed up to 14 years in prison.
