Risk assessment

One sample declared as 3-MMC did not contain 3-MMC but 2-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. There is hardly any information available on the effects, side effects and long-term consequences of this substance. Consumption of this substance therefore harbors unknown risks.

At least one additional synthetic impurity was detected in this sample. Synthetic impurities indicate improper manufacture. There is hardly any information available on the effects, risks, side effects, toxicity and long-term consequences of synthetic impurities, which is why consumption poses an additional unknown health risk. The interaction between the synthetic impurities and 2-MMC is completely unknown.  

Regular use and high doses also increase the risk potential. If you nevertheless decide to consume this substance, we strongly recommend that you adhere to the safer use messages / safer use tips. Due to a lack of information and the associated risks, which are difficult to assess, we advise against regular use.

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.
