The government has referred the legal high 'mexxy' to drug experts in a move which could lead to a temporary ban.

The Home Office has referred methoxetamine (also known as mexxy or MXE), which is being sold as 'safe ketamine', to the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) for its views on controlling it under a new temporary control power.

The ACMD now has up to 20 working days to make a recommendation to the government on whether methoxetamine should be subject to a Temporary Class Drug Order, which would make the substance illegal for 12 months while further investigations are carried out.

Minister for Crime Prevention and Antisocial Behaviour Reduction Lord Henley said: 'We have become increasingly concerned at the potential harms of methoxetamine, and continue to work with our drug experts on the ACMD to decide on the best way to protect public health.

'It is important for those considering using these drugs to understand that just because a substance is legal, it does not mean it is safe and should not be seen as a safer alternative to illegal substances.'

The temporary control powers were introduced in November last year through the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011.

It's rediculous, I don't even really like the stuff (bought 2 grams when it first came out and still have over 1 1/2 left...), yet the threat of a ban persuaded me to purchase quite a large quantity - because of the threat of a ban, and the shocking length of the Big & Dandy Methoxetamine threads.
 
^I'm pretty sure if you just click "edit" and then "go advanced" there is a way to edit the title.

I wonder if it'll be as easy to get in the US if it ends up getting banned in the UK...

Well, if peanut butter is banned in one market due to fears of rampant nut allergies then demand drops and suddenly there's a surplus of supply for other markets until production is scaled back. Peanut butter prices drop as everyone scrambles to unload as quickly as possible to maximize profit before peanut butter is banned in their market (though maybe there's a quick spike in prices to capitalize on a fear of shortage). Before you know it peanut butter cut with acorn paste is being marketed as "PBXTC," sold to kids at gas stations, and everyone's choking cause the shit is stuck to the roof of their mouth. It's a sick world for responsible peanut butter lovers who just wanna kick back with a tall glass of milk and enjoy it in peace.

Yeah I think the spike is more likely - when they were banning GBL the price went through the roof in the weeks before it was banned. Some suppliers were even saying "each of you will have to make me an offer for my last litre"
 
Were will we be able to see the official statement that they will bring out today or yesterday or whenever?
 
I'm hoping some kind of miracle happens and they decide not to ban it in the UK. I know it's temporary, but they're most likely just going to perma ban the shit out of it anyway. Fuck.

I'm about to make a thousand different emails and act like a thousand different people begging for MXE to remain legal. Lol.

It's my first RC. I don't want to say bye to it so soon.
