Mephedrone et al

[Meridian]

The Statutory Instrument controlling mephedone and other cathinone/methcathinone derivatives such as methedrone, methylone, butylone, flephedrone and MDPV has now passed, and comes into law on April 16th. The SI is here. From that date, these become class B controlled drugs, with a couple of exceptions where the compound is already controlled at another level (pyrovalerone remains class C for instance).


If you really want to understand the technical side (afternoon Halski...) then the full blurb that it is based on is here in .pdf form. The hard stuff starts on page six and resumes on page thirty-six. There's a mistake on page 43 - a beer for anyone who spots it.

α-Methyltryptamine (AMT)

Desoxypipradol / 2-diphenylmethylpiperidine (2-DPMP)

are both still legal atm

[Meridian]

Correct for both.

And to test your chemistry a bit more, this SI comes into force today, controlling (amongst others) naphyrone (aka "NRG-1").
