Mephedrone: Demerit good
Recommend on Google+
The government announces a ban on mephedrone today. Behind the reason to classify this drugs as a demerit good includes the informational failures that exist - “It is being taken by young people who have never taken drugs before in their lives because they think it is legal and it is safe. It is neither legal nor safe.”
Although David Nutt, ex-head of Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, discusses here why regulation rather than an outright ban should be implemented instead.
