Product Description

Mephedrone, also known as 4-methylmethcathinone (4-MMC) or 4-methylephedrone is a synthetic stimulant drug of the amphetamine and cathinone classes. Slang names include drone, M-CAT,  White Magic and meow meow. It is chemically similar to the cathinone compounds found in the khat plant of eastern Africa.
Mephedrone comes in the form of tablets or a powder, which users can swallow, snort or inject, producing similar effects to MDMA, amphetamines and cocaine. In addition to its stimulant effects, Mephedrone produces side effects, of which teeth grinding are the most common. A number of metabolites are possible, however the n-demethyl metabolite of Mephedrone will be 4-Methylcathinone. This metabolite appears to be nearly inactive as a Monoamine Oxydase Inhibitor .On further metabolism of this metabolite one of the possible metabolites is 4-Methylnorephedrine, caused by the reduction of the Keto.A dose of 150mg-250mg is the average, giving a duration of around 2 hours. the duration will lengthen in larger 250mg+ dosages.
The Multi-Drug Rapid Test Panel yields a positive result when the concentration of Mephedrone in urine exceeds detective level.
