Mephedrone: Know the real facts
Mephedrone, the unsolved mysterious drug, whose ill effects are still not known concretely, remains a domain which has to be researched and delved upon. Many reports and news articles have come up in the days gone by, but few have had any evidence to prove the same. This synthetic stimulant, mephedrone is available in the markets pretty cheaply, mostly in the form of plant food. Most of the same is manufactured in China and shipped to other countries. The reviews received after its consumption have been varied, though the bottom line remains the same, that it imparts a feeling of ecstasy, very much similar to the after effects of cocaine.
Appearance wise, mephedrone is a white crystalline powder, also available in the form tablets. It has a fishy smell which is almost not recognizable. The name mephedrone originates from the chemical name methyl ephedrine. Some of its other common names are 4 methylmethcathinone, 4MMC, 4 MMCAT, MCAT, meow etc. It has been normally seen that, after consuming mephedrone, one faces euphoria which gradually shrinks to a mild stimulation effect. It can even make an unsociable individual to talk, speak and laugh with others casually! Though many users who have consumed mephedrone state that it’s similar to cocaine, but in reality it’s not. Cocaine gives a much more stressed out feel and gives the consumer an arrogant feel within.
The after effect varies from individual to individual, depending upon the dosage and the route you have chosen for its administration. The most common ways used for consuming the same is by either inhaling or eating. The latter experience gives a longer effect but has a less severe impact, whereas opting for the former case, might give the user a more intense feeling, imparting the urge to have it more and more.
As already mentioned, there has not been much research done on this synthetic stimulant, hence all what we can do is guesswork! From the reports of the users who have consumed the same, we can conclude that, it does have the presence of serotonin and dopamine, which makes the user feel it similar to that of cocaine.
With so much doubts’ remaining to be solved on this, it is always advisable to avoid the same till some concrete study and research is done. Why to invite troubles when we already have many to be solved!
