At the time I'm writing this, I still feel a bit odd and dissociated from the real world, so I apologize if I make any mistakes in my grammatic. It was morning, 7th of January, and I just called in sick from work because, well, simply I did not really feel like it today, my package that I ordered, 6 grams of 2-Methylme...

Summary
2-MMC (2-Methylmethcathinone, also known as Ortho-Mephedrone) is a synthetic stimulant of the cathinone class. It acts as a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent with higher affinity for DAT and NET than SERT, producing more focused, amphetamine-like stimulation with less euphoria than its isomers 3-MMC and 4-MMC.

I ordered 2 grams of 2-MMC crystals from some Dutch site to just have some fun with my friends for the weekend, it took like 4 days to come, and I am very excited for this shit, decided to write a report since I didn't find much information about it and thought it would be helpful for people that are interested in tryi...
First and foremost, this stuff up the nose hurts like a motherfucker. If 4-FA is a 10/10 on the pain scale (which it is) then I'd put 2-MMC around an 8-8.5/10. That said the burn subsides within a minute or two. The drip is surprisingly not terrible, kinda taste like adderall but not quite as sweet.
Function Variant of 3-MMC I received my package of 2-MMC today and decided to write this report as there is hardly any info about this substance online. The recent Dutch ban of 3-MMC has resulted in RC vendors marketing 2-MMC as an alternative.
