The Mephedrone has now officially been banned and classed as a class B drug. I have previously spoken about the debate on whether this drug was to be banned due to serious concerns about the cause of teenager's deaths.
People who are now found with this drug will be punished either with fines or a prison sentence.
In my opinion I think it was right to ban this drug as it caused harm to people. I am surprised thought that it wasn't banned earlier. However it is likely that this drug is still out there and easy to still get hold off. So maybe now there needs to be campaigns explaining why this drug is so bad.
The link I have posted is a BBC News article explaining in more detail the ban of this drug. http://http//news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8623958.stm
