Classified as a legal high or recreational drug, it can come in the form of tablets, capsules or white powder. Mephedrone does not have a scientific background because it is a synthetic stimulant, created in makeshift laboratories, without human testing to establish its short or long term effects.
However, as a psychoactive drug, it produces distinctive emotional and social effects, for which you may benefit from private counselling in London.
Dangers and reported effects
It has been widely reported by users that mephadrone leads to similar psychotic and unpredictable effects as stimulants and amphetamine like ecstasy and cocaine but there is insufficient scientific evidence to support that it is as dangerous. Effects include paranoia and hallucinations. Whether taking the drug in groups, individually or as a couple, London psychotherapy can help clarify your thoughts in relation to its use and possible effects.
