Mephedrone (4-MMC) sold as 3-MMC
Risk assessment
This sample, sold as 3-MMC (3-methylmethcathinone), did not contain 3-MMC but mephedrone (4-MMC / 4-methylmethcathinone).
4-MMC belongs to the cathinone group of substances and is very closely related to 3-MMC. The effect of the two substances is therefore also comparable.
The effect of 4-MMC is mainly empathogenic (increasing empathy), entactogenic (intensifying emotions), stimulating, euphoric and aphrodisiac. 4-MMC is described by users as more euphoric and empathy-enhancing than 3-MMC. This can lead to an unintentionally high dose of 4-MMC being consumed. With both substances, the craving (strong desire to get more) is very pronounced and the psychological dependency potential is significantly higher than with other empathogenic substances such as MDMA.
There is hardly any information available on the effects, side effects, toxicity and long-term consequences of this substance. Consumption of this substance therefore involves unknown risks. Regular use and high doses also increase the risk potential. If you nevertheless decide to consume this substance, we strongly recommend that you follow the safer use messages / safer use tips to adhere to. Due to a lack of information and the associated risks, which are difficult to assess, we advise against regular use.
In the case of powders and crystalline samples, false declarations occur time and again; it is therefore also essential to have these tested before consumption!
