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. Users report that it is short-acting with limited residual stimulation, but binge use is common and can lead to negative physical and psychological effects.
