The call follows an incident in which a member of the public disposed of what he believed was a legal high.
In fact, from a later conversation he had with police, it transpired the material was Mephedrone, which is not legal.

Sergeant Phil Martin, of the Foyle City North Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Mephedrone used to be legal, it was one of the so-called legal highs, but the classification changed and it is now an illegal drug. Slang names include drone, M-CAT, Monkey Madness and meow meow
“We are urging local people to hand over to us any material they become aware of and suspect is drugs-related.
“It is important to keep in mind that ‘legal highs’ may pose a risk also and these can be handed in to police as well.”
Contact can be made with local neighbourhood policing teams on the 101 non-emergency number.
