What it looks like and how it's taken

Mephedrone

Naphyrone is a fine white or off-white/yellow powder – usually snorted like cocaine or swallowed ‘bombed’ in wraps of paper.

Naphyrone is a stimulant drug closely related to the chemical family of the ‘cathinones’ group of drugs including mephedrone.  Cathinones are ‘cousins’ of the family of amphetamine compounds which include amphetamine itself (speed), methamphetamine and ecstasy (MDMA), among many others.

When sold over the internet, it was often described as a plant food, research chemicals or bath salts, and not for human consumption.
