4-CMC sold as mephedrone
Risk assessment
This sample, declared as mephedrone, does not contain 4-MMC (mephedrone) but 4-CMC (4-chloromethcathinone; clephedrone).
4-CMC belongs to the cathinone group and is structurally related to mephedrone (4-MMC). 4-CMC is described as having a strong performance-enhancing and euphoric effect. Some users report severe headaches as well as kidney and liver pain on the days after use. In addition, it is reported that the substance can trigger a strong urge to re-dose, which increases the potential for addiction. No information is available on the risks, side effects and long-term consequences of 4-CMC.
Due to the lack of scientific studies on 4-CMC, we do not recommend consumption! With powders and crystals there are always false declarations; these substances must therefore be tested!
