New designer drug shows up in ENC
PITT & BEAUFORT COUNTIES -
A new designer drug has made its way to the U.S. from Europe. It's similar to Ketamine or Special-K and is already making an appearance in eastern North Carolina. Newschannel 12 sat down with a recovering addict and a mother who lost her son to this drug, to learn about the dangers.
"There's not a day that goes by for the last 28 weeks that I don't cry," said Michele Grazier, who lost her son Zach to an overdose of MXE, or Methoxetamine, which police say is new to our area.
“Similar to ketamine in chemical composition," said Grazier.
I also spoke with a 19-year-old recovering addict who asked we hide her identity.
She says many times, people turn to harder drugs like m-x-e out of boredom.
"The amount of research chemicals alone that you just, people just try you know, and somebody says, you know, I have any combination of numbers and letters, 25525C, you know, something like that, and people will just try it and that is super common around here," the 19-year-old said.
When she was using, she noticed the drug was gaining popularity. "I know a lot of people that I've definitely tried it."
Several law enforcement officers we spoke with had never heard of MXE. But Greenville Police did just arrest Thomas Capehart and say they found a baggie in his possession and written on the bag was Methoxetamine.
"White powder was located inside the apartment. It is an unknown substance so right now we've collected and sent it to the lab and we're just waiting on the final results from that analysis," said GPD Sgt. Michael Broadwell.

Mxe is not a new "designer drug" it's been around for a bit. It might be New to them but anybody that knows the RC scene has heard about it.and mxe being a hard drug??? What a joke. I personally don't like dissociatives they just aren't my thing but I wouldn't consider it a hard drug.
