Mephedrone a.k.a. ‘meow meow’ or ‘plant food’ has been reclassified as a class B drug alongside cannabis and now, under the drugs misuse act 1971, carries a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment for possession and 14 years for the sale or supply.
The reclassification came into force on 16th April 2010.
A further blog entry will examine the merits of the ban in more detail soon.
