 MDPV /  Synthetic Mephedrone Cannabinoids White Powder Leafy Substance Felony Sale Gross Misd Sale Felony Possession Misd Possession Mephedrone & MDPV: What are they?

 Synthetic substances commonly abused as an alternative to illegal CNS Stimulants, such as and .  Mephedrone is referred to as Plant Food  MDPV is commonly referred to as Bath Salts or Turbo.  At times the names are used interchangeably.  Both are similar to methamphetamine in the effects and that they are synthetic alternatives to cocaine.  Mephedrone and MDPV are relatively new substances with little medical or scientific research on the long term effects.  Both field-test positive for cocaine and sometimes for methamphetamine. What do they look like?

 Mephedrone and MDPV are white, sometimes tan or brown, clumpy powdery substances.  Packaging can resemble controlled substance packaging.  Some packaging is labeled “Plant Food” or “Bath Salts,” with “Not for Human Consumption” warnings. User Symptoms

• Excited and irritable similar to the behavior common with CNS Stimulant use. • Incoherent statements and paranoid delusions. • Stay awake for long periods of time and have reported staying awake for several days before “crashing” and sleeping for several hours, sometimes days. • Cocaine and methamphetamine users have described the mephedrone/MDPV high as “intense,” “paranoid,” “out of control,” and “very addictive.” Users have also claimed the effects of mephedrone /MDPV are “too much.” Michigan ER Study

On February 1, 2011, in response to multiple news reports, the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) contacted the Children's Hospital of Michigan Poison Control Center (PCC) regarding any reports of illness in the state caused by the use of recreational designer drugs sold as "bath salts." Michigan ER Study

The PCC told MDCH that, earlier in the day, the PCC had learned that numerous persons had visited the local emergency department (ED) in Marquette County with cardiovascular and neurologic signs of acute intoxication. This report summarizes the subsequent investigation, which identified 35 persons who had ingested, inhaled, or injected "bath salts" and visited a Michigan ED during November 13, 2010 —March 31, 2011.

 The BCA is not able to test for mephedrone, MDPV, or synthetic cannabinoids in the blood or urine at this time. The BCA is hopeful that they will have a test by the end of the year. Per conversation with the BCA Lab on 03/19/12 Field-Test Kits
