3-Methylmethcathinone, also known as 3-MMC and 3-Mephedrone, is a designer drug from the substituted cathinone family, with Empathogen-entactogen effects. 3-MMC is closely related in structure to the popular illicit drug mephedrone (4-MMC), and is illegal in most countries that have banned 3-mephedrone as it is a structural isomer of 4-mephedrone. However 3-MMC has still appeared on the "legal high" market as an alternative to mephedrone, and was first identified being sold in Sweden in 2012. Unlike other legal highs 3-MMC was tested and characterized in large mammals, providing much more knowledge about it than is known about other synthetic cathinones.
Legal Status
As of October 2015 3-MMC is a controlled substance in China.
3-MMC is banned in the Czech Republic.
3-MMC was not banned by the UNODC after a critical review.
