    Monkey Dust

    synthetic cathinone.

    It is a white or yellowish powder that is sold by dealers as an alternative to drugs like speed, ecstasy or cocaine.

    Users snort it or wrap it in paper and swallow it, but it can be smoked.

    While it can create euphoria, it can make users feel anxious and paranoid.

    Some users may experience fits and heart damage.

    Policing Minister Chris Philp said: "These synthetic drugs ruin lives, families and neighbourhoods. Made in labs and pumped into our communities, our drug laws must keep pace with their evolution."

    By making monkey dust a Class A substance, criminals caught supplying it would face a life sentence.

    Possession would carry a penalty of up to seven years in prison.

    The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs will give the government the findings of its review in due course.

    The BBC's political reporter in Staffordshire, Amara Sophia Elahi, said: "I covered the problems the substance was causing in Stoke-on-Trent for BBC News, and five years on it is still a huge issue for the city. In fact, Staffordshire Police now have a dedicated operation aimed at trying to disrupt the supply chain of the drug in Stoke-on-Trent.

    "In recent weeks, the force has seized more than 10 kilograms of Monkey Dust worth over £100,000 which was due to be delivered to addresses in the city.

    "Although Stoke-on-Trent will receive an extra £1.5 million from the government's Drugs Strategy funding over the next year to try to tackle substance misuse, for many in this city reclassification seems to be the only way to prevent Monkey Dust from wreaking further havoc yet."
