Limited human data—treat as an experimental research chemical. Appears to act as a prodrug to 4-methylcathinone (not mephedrone) via N-debenzylation, with markedly lower potency and euphoria than mephedrone. Prominent peripheral stimulation (tachycardia, vasoconstriction) with comparatively subtle empathogenic qualities. Nasal administration burns intensely and may cause epistaxis; oral administration preferred for harm reduction. Maintain hydration and electrolyte balance during use.
