mephedrone

[mandimoo]

is this product really plant food that has just been mis-appropriated, or is the whole plant food thing a cover for this (soon to be illegal) legal high? i mean, are there really any gardeners out there who are using this in their gardens?

It is a weed killer! But thats not why people buy it! its a disgusting drug that has killed people! its hideous that it is legal!

my daughter (16) knows people at school who have tried it. how bloody frightening is that?

The entire plant food publicity is indeed a cover-up. Mephedrone is of absolutely no use to plants. The reason it's been marketed in this way is to get around the restrictions of the Medicines Act, which make it illegal to advertise or sell mephedrone for human consumption.
It follows that it might just as well have been advertised as goldfish food for example or even cat food given one of it's alternative names, meow-meow!
The pharmacology of mephedrone is mostly unknown but a number of studies have begun this month to try to address this issue including some at my own university.
