The recent deaths of two young men who are thought to have taken the β keto-amphetamine stimulant mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone) have prompted urgent calls for the drug to be banned. As we write, there is no certainty that mephedrone caused these two deaths, but it may be implicated. Amphetamine-type stimulants are known to cause about 100, mostly accidental, deaths a year in the United Kingdom.
