“The sales of Mephedrone on the internet is cheap, and far too easy to buy. £10, when other drugs are very expensive is the lure for our young people. How can these sites get away with it (even though they state not for human consumption). How many more deaths before something is done?
My sympathies go out to the young boys parents”

“I would implore anyone who knows the person or persons involved in the sale/distribution of this drug to contact the police asap. The next victim could be you!”
