How toxic is Mephedrone?

yeah does anybody know why i smell like mephedrone the next day :S, even if i swallow it and dont touch it the previous night.. i always wake up with the smell of mephedrone :S

I, and lots others, get this too.

I'm guessing it's from sweat? Bed sheets, clothes all smell of it next day :|
 
It's probably a metabolite leaving the body via sweating... the same thing happens with amphetamine and meth... when you do speed for a few days, in the end you'll be reeking of it... Called the "speed sweats" around here...
 
Yet it's not actually excreted amphetamines or metabolites that induce this odor, right?
This would be from adrenergic effects and poor hygiene, IIRC...

there have been lots of times when i was trampy and didn't wash but ONLY after using meph does my bed and clothing smell of it
 
Perhaps I've gotten a different synth of mephedrone - the only kind I've ever had (variety of different sources) has been the fine white crystal which smells slightly sweet - but neither I nor my missus, or our freinds who've had it, have had any smell issue whatsoever. Granted, there has been some residue in my nose the next day if I've snorted some, but never any of this body odour/sheets/clothing story, and certainly nothing near some of the reports I've read. I remember the early reports from Scandanavia calling it 'crab' or giving it names of seafood on account of the smell. Never had any experience with anything like that.

Could it be a matter of different sources doing a better or worse job at synthesis? In which case, would it be feasible that incomplete synthesis could produce meph which is more toxic as a result of some undesirable (relative word when discussing mephedrone) chemicals still being in the mix?
 
i meant mephedrone, like not how you make it, but what actually is it?

doesnt sound like a stupid question to me?

yea we kind of found this too

better mephedrone didnt smell or taste as bad as i suppose it didnt have as much of the solvent left in it, just the pure stuff

but badly made stuff was sting-y, stinky and tasted gagworthy

doubting it was to do with what was cut with it, as it is the strong mephedrone smell/taste which is better/worse

also found the better stuff was a cleaner buzz :)

Mephedrone = Methamphetamine with a ketone group on the beta position and a methyl group on the 4th position.

I wouldnt know what else to answer to this question lol? Mephedrone is mephedrone, like MDMA is MDMA.
Or do you know what solvents could be left in meph? I cant answer that one.
 
ahh i see, lol thats all i needed

i mean i know its not made out of natural stuff like i suppose coke is (ie coca plant) but yea...just kind of worried me that i didnt think about this before i sniffed it...

:S

cheers lovey xxx

I think this is definitely the case. We had some smelly stuff months ago when we could first get our hands on it, but everything else since has been virtually odour-free. As I have said elsewhere, the very white, shard-like stuff has been the better quality - and that doesn't smell at all.
 
What's the deal with IVing it and safety/effects vs. other ROAs? I'm about to try some tonight.

The main impurity from sloppy mephedrone synthesis is going to be 4-methyl-alphabromopropiophenone, which if alphabromopropiophenone is anything to go by, would be a severe lachrymator, not just a smelly compound (could be methylamine, but that smells like old fish). You'd certainly know if ant of the propiophenone was still present because it would be like being tear gassed
