'''3-MeO-2'-Oxo-PCE''' (commonly known as '''Methoxetamine''', '''MXE''', '''Mexxy''', among others) is a [[psychoactive class::dissociative]] substance of the [[Chemical class::arylcyclohexylamine]] class that produces [[dissociative]] and [[hallucinogenic]] effects when [[administered]]. It is an analog of [[ketamine]] that also contains structural features of [[PCE]] and [[3-MeO-PCP]].

MXE had almost no history of human usage and was first identified in November 2010 by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, which monitors the Internet for new psychoactive substances within the European Union. By July 2011, they had identified 58 websites selling the compound at the cost of 145–195 euros for 10 grams.<ref>Online sales of new psychoactive substances/‘legal highs’ | http://www.emcdda.europa.eu/attachements.cfm/att_143801_EN_SnapshotSummary.pdf</ref>  
MXE had no documented history of human usage until it was first identified by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction in November 2010. By July 2011, they had identified 58 websites selling the compound at the cost of 145–195 euros for 10 grams.<ref>Online sales of new psychoactive substances/‘legal highs’ | http://www.emcdda.europa.eu/attachements.cfm/att_143801_EN_SnapshotSummary.pdf</ref> Once highly popular, it is now thought to be extinct on the online [[research chemical]] market due to the global ban of the drug.
 
Today, MXE is used as a [[recreational drug]] and [[entheogen]]. It is rarely sold on the streets and almost exclusively distributed as a grey area [[research chemical]] by online vendors.  


Limited data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of MXE in humans, and it has a limited history of human use. It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.

*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous bodily sensations]]''' - The MXE "body high" can be described as a sharp, pleasurable tingling sensation which is location specific to the hands, feet, and head.
*'''[[Effect::Perception of decreased weight]]''' - This creates the sensation that the body is floating and has become entirely weightless. This effect is strangely stimulating and encourages physical activities at low to moderate doses by making the body feel light and effortless to move.

*'''[[Effect::Motor control loss]]''' - A loss of gross and fine motor control alongside balance and coordination is prevalent within MXE and becomes especially strong at higher doses. This means that one should be sitting down before the onset (unless experienced) in the case of falling over and injuring oneself.

The visual geometry found within MXE can be described as very dark and bland when compared to that of [[ketamine]] or [[DXM]] and often consists of many tiny interlocking and woven lines. It does not extend beyond level 4 and can be comprehensively described through its [[Visual_effects:_Geometry#Variations|variations]] as simplistic in complexity, algorithmic in style, synthetic in feel, unstructured in organization, dimly lit in lighting, multicolored in scheme, glossy in shading, soft in edges, small in size, slow in speed, smooth in motion, equal in rounded and angular corners, immersive in-depth and consistent in intensity.

It can be comprehensively described through its [[Visual_effects:_Internal_hallucinations#Variations|variations]] as delirious in believability, fixed in style, equal in new experiences and memory replays in content, autonomous in controllability and solid in style.

It can be comprehensively described through its [[Visual_effects:_Internal_hallucinations#Variations|variations]] as delirious in believability, autonomous in controllability and solid in style. The most common theme for this effect to follow is one of experiencing and talking to friends when they are not actually present.

*'''[[UncertainInteraction::MDMA]]''' - There have been reports of risky serotonergic interactions when the two are taken at the same time, but MXE taken to the end of an MDMA experience does not appear to cause the same issues.
*'''[[UncertainInteraction::Cocaine]]''' - Stimulants taken with MXE can lead to hypermanic states much more easily, especially if sleep is avoided.
*'''[[UncertainInteraction::Benzodiazepines]]''' - Both substances potentiate the ataxia and sedation caused by the other and can lead to unexpected loss of consciousness at high doses. Place affected patients in the recovery position to prevent vomit aspiration from excess.
*'''[[UncertainInteraction::SSRIs]]''' - Depending on the SSRI this combination can be unpredictable.
*'''[[UnsafeInteraction::MAOIs]]''' - MAO-B inhibitors appear to increase the potency of MXE. MAO-A inhbitors have some negative reports associated with the combination but there isn't much information available.

*'''[[DangerousInteraction::Alcohol]]''' - There is a high risk of memory loss, vomiting and severe ataxia from this combination.
*'''[[DangerousInteraction::GHB]]''' - Both substances cause ataxia and bring a risk of vomiting and unconsciousness. If the patient falls unconscious while under the influence there is a severe risk of vomit aspiration if they are not placed in the recovery position.
