'Legal high' put two men's lives at risk
TWO men were incapacitated and required medical attention at the weekend after taking a potentially lethal cocktail of drugs.
A mixture containing the legal amphetamine mephodrone is said to have rendered both men incoherent and foaming at the mouth and one was admitted to a rehabilitation unit.
Sinn Fein representative in East Antrim, Oliver McMullan, said their families were devastated by the effect the drugs had on the men, who are both in their twenties.
