NPR story on Mephedrone

happening right now...Unfortunately i can't listen to it because i'm not around a radio, but this is JUST what he rc community needs...

 

my dad was probably listening in his truck driving home from work. he loves NPR.

 

I'm lost, what's NPR?

 

"national public radio"

it's a liberal "talk" radio station...very interesting stories and stuff.

 

I'll have to libberally check it out.

npr.org ->search -> Mephedrone -> There were no documents that matched your search request.

Not calling bullshit I just can't find it.

 

i searched the web too...but this was on the radio.

i was told by a friend via txt message...so my friend could be crazy, but i'm pretty sure there was a story on it. something involving a possible meph-death in the UK.

it's going to be controled any time now...care to take bets as to how long? i'm kinda suprised more people haven't heard of it. it made kind of a wave in my town when a friend got a large quantity...saw a few people binge like crazy.

 

That link leads to a 3 months old article. This one is fresh, crediting meph with the death of two young lads:

Other articles (http://www.thisisscunthorpe.co.uk/news/Community-mourning-teen-deaths/article-1918013-detail/article.html) say that they've also consumed alcohol and methadone, so quite possibly it's not the mephedrone that killed them. Not that the media cares about this, the dangerous new legal stimulant story is way more interesting.
