Europe’s leading drugs agency has warned about the danger of a psychoactive substance which has already been linked to at least four deaths in Ireland.
The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) said data on the substance called a-PVP — also known as “snow blow” — indicates it is a potent psychostimulant.
The EMCDDA warned that many users are likely to become addicted to a-PVP.
The Lisbon-based centre in conjunction with Europol has issued a report which states a-PVP has been on the EU drug market since 2012 with the substance mainly being imported from China.
