3-CMC
3-CMC is a synthetic stimulant of the substituted cathinone class, first detected in 2014. Structurally related to other methcathinone derivatives such as 3-MMC and 4-CMC, it is a halogenated cathinone that produces stimulating and possibly entactogenic effects often compared to those of mephedrone and, to a lesser extent, MDMA and cocaine. It has been primarily sold online as a designer drug in European markets.
