3-Chloromethcathinone (also known as 3-CMC or clophedrone [1]) is a novel stimulant-entactogen substance of the cathinone class. It is the analogue of the neurotoxic 4-CA and structurally closely related to the antidepressant and anti-addictive medication bupropion. The complete working has not been fully studied, however it is known to promote the release of dopamine and serotonin.[2] [3]
3-CMC has been sold online on the research chemical market as a designer drug since 2013 in mainly European countries[4]. 3-CMC has been marketed as the legal successor of 3-MMC in the Netherlands since its ban in oktober 2021 [5].
The subjective effects are reported to be similar, but weaker, to those of 3-MMC. This mostly includes stimulation, anxiety suppression, disinhibition, enhanced empathy and sociability, relaxation, increased libido, and euphoria. It is also reported to be subject to compulsive redosing and habitual use.
Since the related 4-CA and 4-CMC are known neurotoxins and research shows that 3-CMC is neurotoxic in mice[6]. It is highly advised to be avoided or use harm reduction practices if still planning on using this substance.
