3-mec

3-Methylmethcathinone

3-MEC, also known as 3-Methylethcathinone, is a synthetic stimulant drug that belongs to the cathinone class. It is structurally related to other substances such as 4-MEC and 4-MMC (mephedrone). 3-MEC is primarily used for recreational purposes and is often sold as a research chemical or designer drug.

When consumed, 3-MEC produces stimulant effects similar to other cathinones. These effects can include increased energy, euphoria, heightened alertness, and enhanced sociability. The exact pharmacological mechanisms of 3-MEC are not fully understood, but it is believed to act as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), similar to other cathinone derivatives.

3-MEC is typically available in powder or crystal form and can be consumed through various routes, including oral ingestion, insufflation (snorting), or vaporization. The duration and intensity of its effects may vary depending on the dosage, purity, and individual tolerance.

It is important to note that the use of 3-MEC and other synthetic cathinones carries certain risks and potential adverse effects. These can include increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, insomnia, anxiety, paranoia, and the risk of addiction. The long-term effects and safety profile of 3-MEC are not extensively studied due to its relatively recent emergence.
