Aliases: Neh, Ethyl-hexedrone, N-ethylhexedrone, hex-en, n-ethyl-hexedrone
Summary
Hexen is a synthetic cathinone with a reputation for being relatively forgiving at low doses, but can be deceptive and dangerous at higher doses due to strong compulsive redosing. It is caustic to nasal passages when insufflated and can be harsh when vaporized. First synthesized in 2011, it became available on the market around 2015.
Perspectives
“Whew. This stuff feels too good. I should not have access to a substantial amount of this drug. I do not feel like I am meant to feel as good as it made me feel.”
