I should point out that this video was made 2.5 years ago, when mephedrone had first surfaced in the media as a new drug. I was not trying to make a particularly subtle point about exactly which receptors it acted on. At the time, most people in the UK were completely unaware of what the substance even was, and assumed it was a plant extract. I made the video to point out it is just one of a large class of similar well-known synthetic substances, and might have similar issues to some of them.
and how is it shorter than mdma? bath salts last 24 hours while mdma last only a couple of hours
wow hold on, i did pcp alot hell i did most drug, just never did bath salts and i am wondering if the bad efects are hyped as they where with pcp, first pcp does not make you "rage" angel dust does and thats pcp mixed with cokain, i was asking cuz pcp is in the same familly as speed, so i was wondering if it was anything like it
Mephedrone is somewhat comparable to MDMA, except that it's less of a "love/hug" drug than MDMA, and unfortunately a bit shorter acting and more fiendish. You're more prone to redose because of it's shorter duration.
PCP is a dissociative, comparable to Ketamine and DXM, but because its also a Dopamine agonist (like Amphetamine, for example), it can make you delirious while still mobile, causing proneness to the famed "PCP rage" that's well documented in the media. Not a pretty thing ...
Mephedrone does not "destroy the body quickly" or cause you "to die in short order". That's ridiculous. Yes, mephedrone is more addictive than MDMA, which it was designed to be a legal alternative for, but it's not chronically toxic. Unless you mix it with other drugs in absurd dosages, you'll be fine, just hung over. People seem shocked that it can be fatal (in huge doses) and expect because it's legal, it will be harmless. Use common sense and you'll be fine.
I'm sorry for your losses though.
Prof. Dave, you logic is very flawed. Yes, Methamphetamine and Mephedrone have superficial resemblances, but that doesn't make them identical in action. The same flawed logic is what lead to the myth that MDMA "makes holes in your brain", because they fed a monkey IV Meth but claiming it was MDMA.
Mephedrone and Methamphetamine have different half-lifes, different affinities for the Dopamine and Serotonin receptors, and even partialle different mechanism of action.
I love my droneeee.
Oh, I see. I feel sorry for you that your mother and brother died, Hope you're doing alright.
Um no... again. These drugs are man made synthetic chemicals. Both my mother and brother battled with heroin for years before they ultimately succumb to it and died. These high power flash in the pan drugs destroy the body quickly causing most heavy users to die in short order. If you survive them you'll likely face long term consequences with health. They are easier to kick than heroin. Yes you'll go through withdrawal hell but once you're clean you're free of it.
Um yes? Go read some stories about poeple who have used it on erowid and other websites. Alot of poeple says its more addictive.
