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 psychoactive substance belonging to the cathinone class and is related to 3-MMC and 4-MMC (Mephedrone).
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 ☠.
{{effects/base
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 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.
Time compression - Strong feelings of time compression are commonly produced by 2-MMC and speed up the experience of time noticeably.

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).
