After analysing samples of the drug Mephedrone, scientists at the University of Sunderland in England have revealed that the now-illegal drug is very high in purity. Unlike cocaine and other illicit powders, the impurity levels in the six samples of Mephedrone that were tested were extremely low.

The researchers said that a low levels of organic impurities means it’s very likely that the drug had been created in synthetic chemistry labs. However, the size of the particles and crystalline forms did vary between the samples, meaning the drug is likely to vary in its effect on the user from strain to strain. Risk of overdose is still very low and generally lower than similar drugs like amphetamines.

Mephedrone, which is now banned in most parts of the world, has been the most popular legal high in history.
