Legal status: Naphyrone and its related compounds
used to be legal, but became Class B drugs in July 2010.
If you're caught with Naphyrone, you could go to prison for five
years. Anyone dealing Naphyrone faces a maximum of 14 years in
jail, plus a hefty fine.
What is it? Naphyrone is a fine white, off-white or
yellow powder. You usually snort it like cocaine or swallow it in
wraps of paper.
It used to be sold on the internet, where it was normally
advertised as 'plant food' or a 'research chemical'. Now these
sites have been closed down, although dealers still sell Naphyrone
illegally.
How it can make you feel: It can make you feel
euphoric, very alert, empathetic and talkative. However it can make
some people feel anxious and paranoid.
The risks: Because Naphyrone hasn't been used as a
drug for a long time, there hasn't been much formal research into
how risky it is.
However, it is very likely to have similar risks to other drugs
of the same type. That means it could cause you to have a fit or
your heart beat and breathing to become irregular, as well as
anxiety and paranoia. It's also very likely to be addictive.
