Health insurance comparison site Quoteboffin.co.uk welcomes UK mephedrone ban WebWire (press release)
Mephedrone, a synthetic stimulant also known as Meow, Bubbles and MCAT, has been banned in the UK and a representative from Quoteboffin.co.uk ( http://quoteboffin.co.uk/ ) has welcomed the news, claiming it will benefit the NHS and healthcare providers across the country.
The representative explained that the laboratory-produced drug had the potential to prove a huge drain on the UK’s health resources, and that Quoteboffin thereby supported the recent ban.
While research into the drug - which is derived from cathinone, a compound found in a plant called Khat - is incomplete, the Advisory Council for the Misuse of Drugs announced it a harmful substance and recommended the ban.
Producing a feeling similar to those experienced by people taking drugs of the amphetamine family, mephedrone has been likened to cocaine and ecstasy. The sensations it produces can include an increased heart rate, anxiety and a sense of euphoria. Associated effects include nausea, palpitations and vomiting, reports the BBC.
