Risk assessment
This sample, declared as 4-CMC, contained 3-CMC and a large amount of MDMA in addition to the expected active ingredient 4-CMC.
Both 4-CMC and 3-CMC (clophedrone) are New Psychoactive Substances and belong to the synthetic cathinones of the amphetamine group. Little information is available on risks, side effects and long-term consequences. It is assumed that 3-CMC and 4-CMC have a very high neurotoxic effect. The chemical structure is similar to 3-MMC and 4-MMC (mephedrone). 3-CMC and 4-CMC are often marketed on the internet as mephedrone substitutes. Due to the lack of scientific studies on 3-CMC and 4-CMC as well as the potentially neurotoxic effect of both substances, we advise against their use! Completely unknown is the mixed use of the substances as well as the mixed use with MDMA.
With powders and crystals there are always false declarations; therefore, have these substances analyzed in a drug checking. If you cannot use a drug checking offer, always test a small amount first.

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.
