No joke, true enough.

The Mephedrone ban goes in place in UK from Friday, when it becomes a Class B.

It's "replacement", Naphyrone (aka NRG-1) is already well on the radar.

Re: Dangerous new psycho drug, made in Asia

Some info here, as well as some "early adopters" experiences. Posted well before the 1st of April.

Seems real enough.
