This exploratory research aimed to present a ‘consumptive snapshot’ of this emerging drug in the Irish drug scene, with specific focus on mephedrone user experiences, social situatedness of use and risk discourses. Twenty two in-depth interviews were undertaken with young Irish people aged 18–35 years, who had used mephedrone in the 6 months prior to fieldwork.
