record 41 new unregulated drugs were found in Europe last year and 16 were first spotted in the UK, the agency report said.
It is another sign of the popularity of legal highs in Britain, which has long been seen as a strong market for the substances.
The Daily Telegraph disclosed last year that the UK had become the European centre for mephedrone, amid fears it could be fatal. The drug, also known as miaow miaow, has since been banned but concerns emerged that dealers may have stockpiled it while it was still legal.
Yesterday’s report, by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) and Europol, warned that the introduction of Europe-wide controls on mephedrone brought “both positive and negative consequences”.
While it may be harder to find and use, the control measures could also create an illegal market “with the associated risk of criminal activity”, the report said.
