Summary
3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-methcathinone (also known as M1, MDMC, ฮฒk-MDMA, and Methylone) is a novel stimulant-entactogen substance of the cathinone class. Methylone was first synthesized by chemists Peyton Jacob III and Alexander Shulgin in 1996 as a potential antidepressant. Methylone is sometimes used as a substitute for MDMA due to similarities in their effects.
Perspectives
“A flood of paresthesia at the 30 minute point, and then nothing. There was the development of a plus one-and-a half effect over the next hour with the tendency to drift into a dozing state with hypnogogic imagery. There were colored letters in the periphery of my visual field. There was no appetite loss nor was there any blood pressure rise. And no eye jiggle or teeth clenching. I was out of the experience in 4 to 5 hours. A repeat of this level a few days later gave a bare possible threshold with no other effects.”
