What you need to know about Mephedrone

4‐Methylmethcathinone is a synthetic stimulant with empathogenic effects that is chemically similar to methcathinone and therefore is in the cathinone group. These compounds are derivatives of the phenethylamines (family of amphetamine compounds that include MDMA ‘ecstasy’). Each of the phenethylamine compounds has a parallel compound (an analogue) that is a cathinone.

What does it do?

The effects of 4‐Methylmethcathinone are often compared by users to those of MDMA, and other euphoric stimulants. Mephedrone is often confused with methedrone (4‐ methoxymethcathinone) or methylone (bk‐MDMA), due to the similar names, although they are different compounds. It is a little less potent than MDMA by mass. As of 2009, it is most often found as a powder, though some tablets have been pressed that include 4‐ methylmethcathinone.

Mephedrone/Tablets/ Capsules, also known as 4-methylmethcathinone, 4-MMC, and 4-methylephedrone, is a synthetic stimulant drug belonging to the amphetamine and cathinone classes.
