2-MMC sold as 4-MMC (mephedrone)
Risk assessment
A sample declared as mephedrone (4-MMC) did not contain 4-MMC, but 2-MMC.
2-MMC (2-methylmethcathinone) is a rather new NPS (New Psychoactive Substance) and a cathinone of the amphetamine group. No reliable information is available on its risks, toxicity, side effects and long-term consequences. 2-MMC is often marketed on the Internet as mephedrone (4-MMC) or a 3-MMC substitute. According to user reports, the effect of 2-MMC tends to be compared with 2-FA or amphetamine (performance-enhancing and stimulating), which is why many users have experienced a slightly different effect than expected. Thus, in the event of a false declaration, as in this case, there is an increased risk that a high dose of 2-MMC will be consumed unintentionally.
In addition, a very small amount of ketamine was detected in the sample. Due to the low content, this is probably an unintentional contamination.
Due to the lack of scientific studies on 2-MMC, we also advise against consumption! False declarations are often made for powders and crystalline samples; it is therefore essential to have these tested before consumption!

Analysis
Have your substances tested in a Drug Checking
Testing
If you do not have the possibility to have substances analysed, always test a small amount to avoid overdoses.
Wait and see
Wait 2 hours after oral intake, as there are always powders / crystals in circulation with unexpected active ingredients, which can have a later onset of action.
Utensils
When snorting or injecting powders, always use your own equipment to avoid infecting yourself or others with diseases.
