I think saying it is a plant feed somehow makes it sound safe, how can something that feeds plant cause harm, but it does.
If you talk to the people who deal with mephedrone consumption and addiction(and I have)they will tell you that what I say is correct.

Yes you are right - mephedrone was called plant food as it was an easy way to sell it without attracting attention - bit like an in joke!
It is actually a synthesis of the natural drug in Khat - a plant chewed in certain parts of Africa that gives the user a buzz a bit like speed and is legal in the UK and used by locals.
