MEPHEDRONE NOW CLASS B DRUG:

There has been a lot of news coverage recently about a legal drug called Mephedrone - it has now been reclassifed (as of April 2010) as a CLASS B drug. This drug should not be confused with the Heroin substitute Methadone. Please refer to our drug factsheets for more information. You can also read the most recent updates about the BANNING of Mephedrone on the FRANK website.
