    Summary TheDrug.Wiki TripSit PsychonautWiki

    3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylcathinone (also known as Ethylone, MDEC and ฮฒk-MDEA) is a synthetic entactogen and stimulant of the cathinone class. It is the ฮฒ-keto analog of MDEA ("Eve"). As a designer drug, ethylone is commonly sold on the street along with other cathinones like butylone or 3-MMC as a substitute or counterfeit for MDMA and/or methylone due to methylone's declining availability on the research chemicals market.
