It was never a plant food - they sold as that because it was illegal to sell it as for human consumption. It wasn't illegal at the time.

"organisations including the BBC and The Guardian, as well as a news section in the Annals of Botany[38] (later corrected[39]), incorrectly reported that mephedrone was commonly used as a plant fertiliser. In fact sellers of the drug described it as "plant food" because it was illegal to sell the compound for human consumption"
