Mephadrone had been encountered by up to 19% (almost 1/5) of regular users of Cocaine and ecstacy, in a recent study questionare on drug use in the preceeding 6 months.

This level was lower than expected, with the media hype over ‘legal highs’, however the study was in drug users already in contact with a drug worker. It is suggested the group consists of experienced drug users with existing patterns and preferences in drug taking. The conclusion is the mephadrone is not seen as an alternative to illegal drug use by experienced users.

A spanish study examining the causes of cardiac linked sudden death has found a direct link with Coacaine in over 3%.

This further proves that there are cardiac risks every time you use Cocaine.  Cocaine is not a safe party drug. Cardiac symptoms are a direct effect of cocaine usage and life threatening cardiac events can happen in otherwise healthy young poeple with no history of cardiac problems.

Reported purity levels of many drugs sold in clubs in the UK as Ecstacy and Cocaine are as low as 2% active drug.

Young users are suspected of switching to legal high drugs like Mephedrone, as they are perceived as safer, purer and better value.

Unfortunately the risks of Mephedrone are now being documented. Particularly of concern is very young users experimenting in unsafe environments such as parks, cemeteries etc, often in combination with alcohol Most are snorting (mephedrone is unpleasant to snort~ stinging) It can also be swallowed or smoked

Reported risks & side effects of Mephedrone include behaviour changes including paranoia, aggression and anxiety, some suspicions of dependency are developing with a recognisable withdrawl picture emerging.

The research backing up the professional and legal approach to these compounds is left playing catch up. There are estimated to be over 240 compounds being promoted as legal highs, with little data available on the pharmacology or even lists of the active constituents of the majority being available to health care providers and to date no simple means of detection for the majority of new compounds.

The vaccine uses the immune system to block the effects of cocaine and may be used in treating cocaine addiction - provided larger studies support the provisional idicators of effect and clinical safety.

It is not likely to be a treatment option for at least 3-5 years
