Fire Up The Roflcoptr! It's The Worst Drug In The World (MXE)
NME has run another article about this 'roflcoptr' bullshit.
This is just so fucking insulting. My own use of MXE, although generally enjoyable, has caused more misery, depression and health scares than anything else I've experienced. Many others echo similar sentiments. There's so many users at various stages of both psychological and physical methoxetamine addiction. To know all of this, yet market MXE as a joke and have reporters market MXE as a joke...I dunno. I can't find any suitable words for how I feel about this.
Wait, what?
Roflcoptr is going to ruin everything. The best case scenario is that MXE gets the temporary ban. Worst case (and probably more likely) scenario, all our commonly used RCs get banned.

"I'd love to have been present at the meeting where makers of new club drug Roflcoptr thought up the name. 'Guys, we've invented a stimulant that makes you fill your pants and listen to Kate Bush. What shall we call it?' 'LOLcano? Chairman LMAO? Amazebonk?' 'No, none of those are stupid or annoying enough. Wait, I've got it...'
Of course, it's not really called Roflcoptr, any more than mephedrone was ever called 'meow meow' outside of the tabloids. The drug is methoxetamine, it's similar to ketamine, and it exploits the same legal loophole that enabled mephedrone to flourish in 2009 - ie, chemists take an illegal drug and tweak its molecular structure very slightly, until it's technically a different substance, and therefore legal.
Roflcoptr might sound like a joke - and it is, sort of. The word itself, in case you're not familiar, was originally an item of online-gaming 'leetspeak' that went irritatingly mainstream. In this case, the manufacturers coyly deny that it's an acronym for 'rolling on the floor, laughing, crapping our pants, totally ruined'. But the drug is an actual thing, not a hoax.
It's cheap. You can buy it online, from a larkily-written website, for £17 a gram. Whether you'd want to is a different matter. If you've read our recent news story on the drug, or the original Mixmag feature, you'll be aware of its most unfortunate side effect, namely that - and there's no pleasant way to phrase this - it makes you shit yourself. Methoxetamine has also been known to trigger psychotic episodes, causing one user to "impulsively fondle a stranger’s breasts, as if controlled by an external force."
Hmm. But beyond the absurd details, there is something novel and interesting going on here. Recreational drugs are traditionally sold on the strength of their potency, or naughtiness. Methoxetaline - or 'mket', which again no-one actually seems to be calling it - might be the first drug in history ever to be marketed as a joke."
Nobody has ever reported, in 7 megathreads and countless trip reports, sudden loss of control of their bowels. Period.its most unfortunate side effect, namely that - and there's no pleasant way to phrase this - it makes you shit yourself
Hell, that's as bad as psychosis gets? Phew.Methoxetamine has also been known to trigger psychotic episodes, causing one user to "impulsively fondle a stranger’s breasts, as if controlled by an external force

"Methoxetaline - or 'mket'"
"Methoxetaline"
