new legal highs had flooded the market since mephedrone and naphyrone were banned this year.Chairman Professor Les Iverson said it was difficult for these to be policed.
Naphyrone, which is sold as NRG1, was legal until being reclassified as a Class B drug after research from the ACMD showed it could be 10 times more potent than cocaine.Responding to the BBC investigation into the online mephedrone trade, Professor Iverson said: "At the moment we're floundering. We haven't got adequate mechanisms to combat the internet crime. And it is internet crime if you're selling a banned substance."

Experts say it is now impossible to know what you are taking because as soon as one compound is outlawed, another slightly different one takes its place.

The ACMD has suggested a blanket ban on all chemicals similar to mephedrone and naphyrone.
