The Herald Sun reports that 20 men have been arrested after using children's toys to try to smuggle more 50kg of drugs, worth more than $9 million, into Australia. Tonka trucks, pink teddy bears and even nappies were used to hide the drugs.
The haul included almost 20kg of 4-MMC (4-Methylmethcathinone), known as mephedrone and miaow.
Miaow is increasingly replacing ecstasy in nightclubs because of its smoother comedown and its reputation as a harmless drug. It's also cheap, at around $15 a gram.
While miaow is still legal in 40 countries, it is illegal in Australia.

it is fairly clear that the new it drug on the market will be methadrone or meow . because of how cheap it is and its unquestionable long term effects .
the fact of it is methadrone has been a hidden drug ever since it appeared . in the uk it was orginally marketed as a plant food where methadrone is as effective as feeding your plants crack .
but sadly hiding drugs in childrens toys isnt a new thing while it has been used to smuggle cociane , extacty and other drugs .
