A drug that can 'turn users into cannibals' is now available on the streets of UK, reports Mirror.

The drug is known as 'Blue Star' and it became infamous after a Florida user, Rudy Eugene' attacked a homeless man after being influenced by this drug in 2012. Eugene chewed off the homeless man's face before being shot dead by the police, as reported by The Sun

A user warns that this drug has appeared on the streets of London and said online, "I would advise against Blue. Bad reaction for someone I know: tremors, swelling, veins in hand went bigger and red for a good hour or so, slight hallucinations. Just wanted to warn people."

Experts worry that the drug may cause the addicts to become violent. As per the reports, Pharmacologist Dr. Paul Skett from Glasgow University said: "We know about what's in mephedrone but bath salts is a very broad term and could refer to a number of things. This substance could mimic the effects of mephedrone or MDMA or amphetamines. We already know mephedrone itself can make people anxious or upset, so taking it alongside something else could potentially magnify its effects," according to Deccan Chronicle
