Inspector James Scott of Bexhill station commented: "It's what the kids in Bexhill are using at the moment and it is causing us grief. It gives the same effect as ectasy and cocaine, so it gives them a real buzz for a short while. We can blame a lot of youth disorder on this."

His advice to families is to watch out for youngsters and be aware they might be using MCAT, and learn more by looking at drugs websites such as FRANK.

"After two or three months use there are signs there can be serious after-effects. But kids do it because its legal and they think it must be alright to use."
