2-MMC is a substituted cathinone and designer drug with stimulant and entactogenic properties. First identified in Sweden in 2014, it is a positional isomer of the better-known 3-MMC and mephedrone (4-MMC). Despite its cathinone structure, its effects have been compared more closely to those of amphetamine and 2-FA, leaning toward functional stimulation. As a research chemical, limited data exists regarding its safety profile and long-term effects.
