‘Magic drug’ or ‘white magic’ is a slang term for Mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone) and a stimulant closely chemically related to amphetamines.

  • attentiveness
  • elation
  • exhilaration
  • talkativeness
  • responsiveness
  • sexual desire
  • alertness

However, using too much can be physically and psychologically addictive. Withdrawal can cause fatigue, irritability, pinpoint pupils, muscle aches and spasms, joint pain and heart failure.

Mephedrone usually occurs as a white powder or fine crystals.
