Mephedrone comes to Australia

'Why no sir, these fat rails are strictly for intrastate commerce.'

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the drug du jour, mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone) has finally started to show up Down Under:

In Australia it is illegal, but both police and the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre said they were aware of its presence and were monitoring its availability. Just last month, the Australian Federal Police and Customs seized 20 kilograms of the drug hidden in children's toys.
Users of the drug told the Herald that demand for mephedrone in Australia surged in November for the summer party and music festival seasons.

Someone should do a bit of study (a PhD, perhaps?) on how long it takes a particular designer drug to make its way throughout the world.

So how much is this being sold in the street for? Considering people pay $350 for bad coke this might end up being a hit on this side of the world...

"Mephedrone is also known as M-CAT, Plant Food or Meow. The association of Plant Food is down to Mephedrone being used as such, the M-CAT reference has developed from the chemical classification, while Meow is a further evolution of this.

"The shocking revelation is that uneducated villagers have been taking the Meow reference too far and attempting to harvest the drug direct from the pineal glands of domestic cats."

And barbecued kangaroo came to restaurants across America. And then it left. Life goes on.

The first encounter I ever had with any legal "MDMA replacement" were the piperazine combos and methylone from New Zealand in 2007, so I would bet it's been popular enough in Australia for a while now.
