Ivory Wave
Ivory Wave, also known as Ivory Coast, Purple Wave and Vanilla Sky,[1] is a novel street drug the use of which has been reported in the United Kingdom and Australia and called a "legal high".[2] Samples of the drug have been reported to contain substituted cathinone derivatives such as MDPV amongst other substances,[3][4][5] including the local anesthetic drug lignocaine.[6]
The drug has been reported to cause adverse effects similar to those experienced with other amphetamine-like drugs, including heart and circulatory problems as well as agitation, hallucinations and fits. Dangerously raised body temperature, risk of renal failure and altered blood pressure may also occur.[7]
In the UK it has been reported to cost £11 for 200 mg, £18 for 500 mg and £17,000 for 1 kg.[8]
