Quick info

Methcathinone is a synthetically produced substance closely related to the active ingredient cathinone of the khat plant. Methcathinone belongs to the group of stimulants.
The difference between methcathinone (2-methylamino-1-phenylpropanone) and the khat plant is comparable to the difference between cocaine and the coca plant.
The effect of methcathinone is not directly comparable to that of the khat plant, which is traditionally consumed in Yemen, Ethiopia and Kenya. It is much more similar to the effects of other stimulants such as amphetamine or cocaine. Methcathinone suppresses fatigue, hunger and thirst. The substance causes an increase in drive and performance and leads to euphoria, an increased urge to talk, disinhibition, inner restlessness and strong restlessness.
