Buy 3-Chloromethcathinone (3-CMC) Cas 1049677-59-9

3-Chloromethcathinone (3-CMC), also known as clophedrone, is a synthetic substance belonging to the cathinone class of psychoactive compounds. It is very similar in structure to other methcathinone derivatives such as 3-MMC and 4-CMC.^[1][2] Unlike cathinone, which occurs naturally in the khat plant Catha edulis, 3-CMC is not found in nature and is solely produced through chemical synthesis.^[2][3] First detected in 2014, 3-CMC gained attention for its stimulating effects that are described to be similar to the effects of mephedrone and, to a lesser extent, those of MDMA and cocaine.^[2] 3-CMC has been sold online as a designer drug mainly in European countries such as Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and Sweden.^[4][5][6] It is a controlled substance in many countries.^[2] The perceived effects are said to resemble those of 3-MMC, users report reduced effects and a shorter duration in comparison.^[1] Effects include stimulation, euphoria, and increased confidence, libido, and sociability. It can be administered orally or through nasal insufflation.^[1][2] The acute effects of 3-CMC last 1 to 4 hours, depending on the administration method. After effects, like difficulty sleeping, can last 3 to 12 hours longer.^[1] 3-CMC has been available in Europe since 2014.^[2] According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) it has been detected in 25 European countries with the majority of drug seizures in Poland and the largest quantities in the Netherlands.^[2] The amount of 3-CMC seized in Europe has increased yearly from 2014 to 2021 indicating an increase in production and availability.^[2] Large seizures of 3-CMC by customs are reported to originate from India.^[2]
