Hi guys - just a quick post as have already enquired about this substance in the Flephedrone Megathread.

Have noticed recently that on a report this substance has shown up in some legal highs (originally thought it was 4-FMC aka Flephedrone but the report claims this substance from analysis).

Just wanted basic info on this substance (i.e. toxicity etc.) even if hypothetical and potential contraindictions, thoughts etc. if possible,

thanks =D

It won't let me post attachments but here is report (thanks to The Kid for supplying)

I have deleted sources, a bit hard to read as copied from PDF.

Was just looking for info on 3-FMC for safety/harm reduction purposes - in a way a little bit irresponsible for these companies to be selling this stuff to anyone without proper info on the substances,
 
Just wondered if people could give info on whether this product could potentially be as cardiotoxic as 4-MMC -

I am a bit concerned about Mephedrone at this stage after reading through all the posts/literature (even though I greatly enjoyed my first time with it, which incidentally was only ~100-200mgs - I will never take a bigger dose now after reading more).

For me a legal alternative would appear to be 3-FMC but is it safer?

Thanks,
 
Gut tells me this one isn't as toxic as Mephedron,could be clean sailing.In fav. stims thread,I remember one who described 3-F-amp as a wonderful stim.,or was it 2-f-amp?
 
3-halogen substitution reminds me of fenfluramine. Although fenfluramine has a pseudohalogen in the 3-position, but it is quite cardiotoxic.

3-FMC could possibly have issues with cardiotoxicity.
 
At least in the peer-review literature, this compound is totally unknown. All discussion about this compound's toxicity is therefore mere guessing.

No 3-FMC, but I heard a bioassay of 3-Fluoromethamphetamine: plain stimulant.
 
^ Quite a potent plain stimulant at that (personal report from someone who's had repeated doses - bioassay - of 3-fluoromethamphetamine). Comments from friend stated that it has all the crazxy potential of methamphetamine as well.

Probably best left on the shelf, or for those dying for a hit of stimulant
 
Thanks for that.

F&B -when you say 'dying' does that imply danger?! Why do you say should be put on shelf?!

Just wondering as really enjoyed this substance (potential coke substitute for me, not in effects but in terms of life style).

Thanks for info :)
 
3-FMC could be OK.

It is surprising that they opted for 3 over 4 because I thought that the starting material for 4 costs less money.

My completely untrue tale is that a large mephedrone supplier is currently cornering the market for said precursor in an attempt to control the (very) profitable mephedrone synthesis market...
 
Is it me, or is anyone else noticing and becoming most uneasy at the increasing trend of unresearched (in terms of animal bioassays, Shulginesque human trials, or even in vitro checks for receptor affinities and neurotoxicity) 'research chemicals' hitting the market?

^ Yep, no bothering with potential harm it could cause, just finding something that feels good then punting it onto the market. I remember all the research that went into MDPV in that it was picked as being the least toxic of the pyrovalerone analogues (a drug that has undergone clinical trials & is still used in france AFAIK). The new ones being punted to the RC market have no close relatives that have gone through the myriad of trials required for a pharmaceutical, or even worse, are closely related to to drugs that were withdrawn for having really dodgy side effects.

The law of averages make me think that it's only a question of time before some unresearched/poorly researched compound gets released onto the RC market and causes a rash of fatalities or serious medical conditions such as Parkinson's.


Vendors had better get their act together & heed warnings or face a swoop by the powers that be to prevent a nasty compound from being circulated/distributed as they'll not sit by idly and watch hospital admissions rise & do fuck all; if they do, it's a good bet they'll throw the book at the vendors they decide to knock heads with

As in my rant above, the great god Mammon is the driving force behind this - all praise the mighty dollar & fuck the rest
 
Shulgin self-experimented with alot of his new compounds.

Obviously some compounds are going to be safer or more dodgy than others.

He still will have tried compounds like PMA, etc etc even though they are considered dangerous.

Is it me, or is anyone else noticing and becoming most uneasy at the increasing trend of ever bigger idiots trying these compounds? (one can see everything from a different angle)

the morons have now got access to materials which demand respect. Until china is shut down this situation will continue.

More to the point, idiots don't just try these compounds, they hammer them into the ground and then some, but guess which ones bleat the loudest when their knees turn purple & their toes drop off?
