It may contain incorrect information, particularly with respect to dosage, duration, subjective effects, toxicity and other risks. It may also not meet PW style and grammar standards.
WARNING: Always start with lower doses due to differences between individual body weight, tolerance, metabolism, and personal sensitivity. See responsible use section.
DISCLAIMER: PW's dosage information is gathered from users and resources for educational purposes only. It is not a recommendation and should be verified with other sources for accuracy.
2-Methylmethcathinone (also known as 2-MMC, Orto or Orthomephedrone) is a novel lesser-known stimulant substance of the cathinone class that induces powerful euphoria and strong, energizing stimulation. It is related to other bath salts like for example 3-MMC or 4-MMC (Mephedrone).
It is highly advised to use harm reduction practices if using this substance as it has a very short history of use.
It was first identified in Sweden in May 2014.[1]. It is an unusual substance, unclassified in many countries. Cases of its use are sporadic.[citation needed]
Chemistry
2-Methylmethcathinone's chemical name is 2-(methylamino)-1-phenylpropan-1-one and is a cathinone derivative, which is a synthetic form of phenylethylamines. 2-MMC has a cathinone which is substituted with a methyl group at the 2 position which makes it a structural isomer of Metaphedrone.
Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWikicontributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.
It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.
Difficulty breathing - The vasoconstriction can be so strong that it is difficult for one to breathe, although this only occurs with high doses and redosing.
Increased heart rate - Increase in heart rate is said to be relatively mild and doesnt occur that frequently compared to other bath salts like Mephedrone.
Memory suppression - 2-MMC's positional isomer 4-MMC has been shown to negatively impact short-term memory[2] and 2-MMC itself anecdotally is said to have immediate disruptive effects on memory.
Delirium & Confusion - This effect typically only occurs with overly high doses, and is associated with temperature dysregulation, sleep deprivation and overheating, particularly when 2-MMC is taken in crowded, physically strenuous environments that leaves the user unable to cool off, rest, or rehydrate adequately.
Psychosis - 2-MMC has been reported to not induce psychosis even if one had a large dose compared to other bath salts like MDPV or A-PVP
Time compression - Strong feelings of time compression are commonly produced by 2-MMC and speed up the experience of time noticeably.

The effects which occur during the offset of a stimulant experience generally feel negative and uncomfortable in comparison to the effects which occurred during its peak. This is often referred to as a "comedown" and occurs because of neurotransmitter depletion. Its effects commonly include:

This toxicity and harm potential section is a stub.
As a result, it may contain incomplete or even dangerously wrong information! You can help by expanding upon or correcting it. Note: Always conduct independent research and use harm reduction practices if using this substance.
Warning:Many psychoactive substances that are reasonably safe to use on their own can suddenly become dangerous and even life-threatening when combined with certain other substances. The following list provides some known dangerous interactions (although it is not guaranteed to include all of them).
Always conduct independent research (e.g. Google, DuckDuckGo, PubMed) to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe to consume. Some of the listed interactions have been sourced from TripSit.
Legal status
Germany: 2-MMC is controlled under the NpSG (New Psychoactive Substances Act)[3] as of November 26, 2016.[4] Production and import with the aim to place it on the market, administration to another person and trading is punishable. Possession is illegal but not penalized.[5]
Poland: Illegal in Poland, the substance is not included in the list of groups of psychotropic substances, however, it falls under the group of psychotropic substances of group I-P as isomer of 3-MMC (metaphedrone) and 4-MMC (mephedrone).
