Mephedrone
Mephedrone is a powerful amphetamine – an upper/ stimulant (speeding up the body’s reactions and functions). It releases the brain’s stress hormone norepinephrine and ‘feel-good’ chemicals dopamine and serotonin. Usually comes as a fine white/ off-white/ yellowish/ mustard coloured powder. It also comes as small but coarser crystals which are crushed into a powder to make it easier to use.
How it’s taken
- Slamming injected into a vein
- Snorting up the nose
- Booty bumps inserted up the arse hole
- Orally rubbed onto the gums
- Swallowing in cigarette or toilet paper
The time it takes to reach a desired high will often depend on your size, weight and metabolism; what you have already taken; and purity of the drug and the dose amount.
Good to know
It’s easy to keep using and become dependent. There is high risk of psychological dependence, tolerance builds up quickly, and users need more to get the same high. Like other amphetamines, using crystal can result in memory loss, paranoia, psychosis, fits, and losing track of time.
