Colombo, Sep 29 (Daily Mirror) - Sri Lanka has detected the highly dangerous synthetic stimulant drug ‘Mephedrone’ for the first time and a foreigner has been arrested.

Inspector General of Police Priyantha Weerasooriya said that the drug was confirmed by the Government Analyst and this was the first instance of this drug being found in Sri Lanka.

The Government Analyst’s report reveals that Mephedrone is more dangerous than other narcotic drugs such as ‘ICE’.

The drug was found after examining a substance seized from a Moldovan national arrested in Weligama on September 21.

This must be the strong message from Mannar that fake lawyer, Meth-mal, was talking about.

It is said that Meph speeds up the messages travelling between the brain and body. Mephedrone also increases an individual's feeling of empathy and kindness and enhances feelings of being socially accepted and connected to others. So like a baby !

Not a drug to encourage; highly addictive. Anything that impacts on the brain will have consequences!

This is quite serious. Recently, there have been numerous arrests of foreigners eg from UK, Malta, Moldova and the usual suspects, India, Thailand, Middle East! Why has Sri Lanka become a magnet to international drug trafficking? Lack of vetting at immigration/no visas? Easy passage through customs? Soft penalties worth the risk? Well established drug trade? Clearly, these aspects need closer scrutiny.
