Risk assessment
A sample declared as mephedrone (4-MMC) did not contain mephedrone, but 3-methylmethcathinone (3-MMC).
3-MMC belongs to the cathinone group of substances and is closely related to mephedrone. Compared to mephedrone, the effect of 3-MMC is described as milder and less euphoric. With 3-MMC, the craving (compulsion to consume) is very pronounced and the dependency potential is significantly higher than with other empathogens such as MDMA or methylone. At high doses, there is a possibility of serotonin syndrome.
Little information is available on risks, side effects, toxicity and long-term effects.
Consumption is not advised!
In the case of powders and crystalline samples, false declarations and impurities occur again and again; it is therefore essential to have these tested in a drug check before consumption!
The following information on 3-MMC should only be used as a guide and is not reliable information. This information is based on the subjective perceptions of users.

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
Always use your own sniffing utensils when applying powders nasally (sniffing) to avoid infecting yourself or others with diseases.
