Risk assessment

One sample declared as 3-MMC contained a high proportion of 2-MMC and synthetic impurities in addition to 3-MMC.

2-MMC (2-methylmethcathinone) is an NPS (new psychoactive substance) from the cathinone group. 2-MMC is often marketed on the internet as a mephedrone (4-MMC) or 3-MMC substitute. According to user reports, the effect of 2-MMC tends to be compared to 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. It is also described by users as a "lighter version of the euphoria of MDMA". There is hardly any information available on the effects, side effects and long-term consequences of this substance. We have no information on possible interactions between the two substances.

Synthesis impurities indicate improper manufacture. No reliable information is available on the risks, side effects, long-term effects and toxicity of synthetic impurities. The interaction potential of the impurity with 3-MMC and 2-MMC is completely unknown.

Accordingly, consumption involves unknown risks. Regular use and high doses also increase the risk potential. If you still decide to use this substance, we strongly recommend that you follow the safer use messages / safer use tips.

With powders and crystalline samples, false declarations occur again and again; it is therefore essential to have these tested before consumption!

Safer Use

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.
