UK: Mephedrone may be banned

The UK may have one of the most reactionary drug policy stances in the world. It seems like the MPs have nothing better to do than move drugs around to different schedules just because they can.

The government's chief drugs adviser has strongly indicated the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) will recommend mephedrone be banned.

Professor Les Iversen said he expected the panel would make a recommendation to the home secretary next Monday.

He said he believed mephedrone was "harmful" and hinted that it should be categorised as a Class B drug.

His evidence to an MPs' committee comes as the deaths of a number of young people have been linked to the drug.

The drug is known by various names, including "M-Cat", "MC", "mieow", "meow", "4MMC", or simply plant fertiliser.

It's the easiest way to kill nationalistic and patriotic pride - a state doing everything in its power to assume the role enemy of its people - standing up for ignorance. The UK leads the way in State idiocy
