T in the Park Bans Legal Party Drugs Like Meow Meow

T in the Park organisers are banning legal party drugs like Meow Meow (aka Methedrone/M-Cat) at this summer's festival.

Festival organisers have confirmed there will be a clampdown on traders selling 'legal highs' and anyone caught selling methedrone or any similar substance will be ejected from the site.

A statement from DF Concerts said: "Drugs are no more acceptable at T in the Park than they are anywhere else and the same risks and penalties apply.

"Our ongoing planning process with event police and medical teams will address any change of status with regard to 'legal highs', but, at present, our ongoing instruction to vendors is the same as in previous years - these substances are not permitted for sale at T in the Park.

"Organisers will work closely with those responsible for vending at the festival to address any breach of this instruction on site. In addition, if any ticket holder is found to have these substances in their possession during random bag searches, they will be confiscated."

However, despite the ban, at least two legal drugs – alcohol and nicotine – will still both be available to buy on the site(!).

Drug amnesty bins will also be present at the festival should punters wish to dispose of them as they enter the site.

T in the Park is held over the weekend of Friday the 9th to Sunday the 11th of July 2010.

The festival is headlined by Eminem, Muse and Kasabian.
