Police warning over 'crocodile' trend of cutting mephedrone with petrol
    #18749141 - 08/23/13 09:30 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

The deadly designer drug mephedrone is being cut with petrol leaving users in South Wales with serious burns and abscesses, WalesOnline can reveal.

Warnings have been sent out to nearly 500 health practitioners in a bid to alert them to a possible new trend which is in danger of sweeping the region.

It comes after South Wales Police last week issued a separate drug warning about a batch of “particularly high purity” heroin circulating the area.

Mephedrone, which is also known as Meow Meow, MCat and White Magic, was a so-called legal high until 2010 when it was made a Class B drug.

The powerful stimulant, a white powder, is typically sniffed by users but it is thought it is now being mixed with petrol so it can be injected.

When taken on its own mephedrone is known to cause heart attacks and has led to an increasing number of deaths in recent years.

The alert, distributed by controlled drugs liaison officer Roger Booth, read: “There have been a number of reports from both Gwent and Cardiff and Vale area from a range of reliable sources that there is a circulation of mephedrone cut with petrol.

“This is being sniffed and injected.

“Injecting results in burns and wounds leading to necrosis, it’s called crocodile – not to be confused with Krokodil.”

Krokodil is a type of homemade heroin cooked up from household ingredients such as painkillers, iodine, lighter fluid and cleaning oil.

Speaking to the Echo about the apparent use of crocodile, Mr Booth said: “At first when I heard about it I thought it might be a one-off but when one or two more cases came to light it suggested to me that there’s something going on here,” he said.

He said the concoction is being cut in Wales, replicating what is happening in the Bristol area.

“The only reason I can think they are using petrol [to cut with mephedrone] is because it allows them to take it in another way as it’s normally in powder form.”

He added: “It’s surprising what everyday materials are used.”

Martin Blakebrough, chief executive of South Wales drug rehabilitation charity Kaleidoscope, warned there was a tendency for people to panic when alerts go out and stressed while he had heard of a couple of examples he was not aware of a trend.

Yet he warned of what crocodile could do to those who took it.

“It’s a very nasty concoction,” he said. “It reacts to your skin , creating abscesses and it effectively burns your skin. It’s a very nasty drug because in many ways petrol is worse than mephedrone.

“Normally when people snort glue or petrol they do so because it acts as a hallucinogenic but in this instance I’m not totally sure what they get from it, perhaps it gives them a bit more of a rush.”

I realize how unsafe this is. But wouldn't a more "safe" alternative be to just use water for the injection? Even your own blood?? How fucking safe is it to inject petrol lol

And someone clear this up. Mephedrone, isn't it the drug we give to opiate addicts?

You are thinking of methadone.

Mephedrone is a research chemical that came out 4-5 years ago.

I personally don't even believe this article at all. There needs to be some evidence, not just because "reliable sources" said so. That could mean anything.
