How Mephedrone Conquered Eastern Europe | The War on Drugs

This is how Mephedrone (4-MMC) has spread across Eastern Europe and become the most popular drug for everyone from ravers to intravenous users. M-Cat is king of Russia and a number of former Soviet states, such as Georgia. It is cheap, available and increasingly potent which explains why it’s turned into most people's favourite amphetamine. For the latest episode of VICE’s War on Drugs series, we explore how this trend started in Russia and expanded into a number of bordering countries and how it’s morphed from just a party drug into something far more dangerous.
