Mephedrone's distinct taste and smell

If someone was to ask you which drug you recognise most by it's taste and smell, would you not say Mephedrone? The smell of it sticks to everything and most people do know what it smells like, even if they don't take it themselves (especially in the UK). Some like it, some can't stand it. I myself don't really mind it.

So, I was wondering, does anyone know what gives it such distinct tastes and smells, or is it nothing imparticular?

Thanks :)
 
I've never smelled it, but I guess it's the ketone. Mcat apparently also has a significant odour, and I guess methylone is similar too.
 
Never noticed much of a smell from Methylone, but mind you I only ever had 2g of it tops, whereas I have stuck my face into a bag of 100g Mephedrone. Not sure WHAT gives it the smell but I'll agree that it is the most distinctive smelling drug/taste I've ever been in contact with (aside from Cannabis probably, but even still, Cannabis does smell like other things [piney, skunky, etc.] whereas Mephedrone is totally distinct I found).

Stuck my nose into a smell proof baggy that once had 100g in it a few months back, forgetting momentarily that it did once hold Mephedrone. The smell sparked something in my brain, sent a rush through my body and put me on edge for a couple minutes (I'd been off Meph for 3-4 months at the time, soon to be 6 months now...).
 
4-meo-pcp has a very foul, metallic odor that overwhelms me even through several layers of plastic bags.
 
I think it's the ketone too but methylone doesn't smell the same. IMO they both have a sweetish smell - ketones often smell sweet - but mephedrone is a *lot* stronger and more distinctive. Methylone kind of has a faint generically sweet smell that is faintly root-beerish. Well, it has the same 3,4-methylenedioxy ring substitution as safrole and piperonal (and thus MDMA)... wonder what 4-methylbenzaldehyde smells like.
 
I like playing "Guess who has the Mephedrone" when I'm out drinking and get a whiff. I used to be able to smell it coming out of my pores for days after taking it. It used to make me really paranoid at work that someone would pull me up on it but no-one ever did.
 
Wow, is there anything about meph that isn't disgusting?

As for the OP's question, unless there is an all-prevalent impurity, then IT is what smells. The molecule itself activates olfactory sensor cells in such a way as to cause the smell.
 
how could i mask this smell ... okay showering but what if i sweat a bit (or a lot) , how would i hide that smell ?
could someone bust me at work ?
currently my nose is so distorted that it cant smell anything

the thing is i received some strange crystal like meph (supposedly) ... and i crushed it , first few lines went up fast then my nose / sinuses got clogged .

got extremly huge pupils and very strong mdma like high for a short time then only the pupils remained + strong wired feeling ....

only problem is that my nose/throat/sinuses are suffering ... nose dripping, throat aching a bit, stuffy nose ... changes from time to time from left to right and so on :)

smell is like meph-light :)

but i fear im gonna reek of it tomorrow even after the shower ....

Haha, this post reminds me of my life before 6 months ago...It's terrible, innit?

Shower, drink plenty of water to flush your system, deodorant, cologne, and smoke cigarettes. The average person with a sense of smell will pick up on filthy tobacco smoke before the hint of Mephedrone on your sweat. Besides, the average person won't know you smell like Mephedrone/a drug, just that you smell 'odd' today.
 
Mephadrone does have a pretty distinctive smell. But, it comes in a VERY wide range of colors and smells. I've also noticed that wellbutrin smells different than anything I've ever seen really. Could identify it if it was crushed up in a room..i hate that smell.

thanks for the reply :) i agree :)
also the best thing to avoid this is not to use the darn thing at all :P
 
whats more destinctive than weed? thats the most distinctive drug odour i guess.

mot drugs have a distinctive odour/taste, amt for example smells like that sprayable fart gas you get from joke shops. MDMA like aniseed, basic UK speed like cat piss, the list goes on...

The only people that would have ANY chance of knowing what the odour is would be people that have at least tried Mephedrone at some point. It's not like weed where everyone knows what it smells like. So if anyone calls you up on it, deny deny deny and then ask how they would know what Mephedrone smells like.

Just have a shower, stick on some deodourant and chill out about it.
 
And have you ever went to work after a binge ? :)

loads of times, i've been up all night on that shit go in to work come home and do more and another all nighter then work again (that was mental)

last night was very cold and i wore a scarf over my face that i hadn't worn since last year and it reeked of mephedrone (and wank) through out it. that was just from my sweat over year ago

SHOCKING8o
 
yeah it definitly gets into fiber via sweat
i showered and my towel has an odor like that now :)
had to throw it into the wash machine
 
It has a ridiculously distinctive smell, I had to wash my clothes to get it out. I don't mind it to be honest, but that's because I've used and enjoyed Mephadrone, building up a pretty strong positive association
 
guys i guess i posted on the wrong threads :) sorry
look up my other posts on how toxic mephedrone is and on the big mephedrone thread

also

I'd like to share a link with you.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_Adderall_XR_cause_nerve_damage_to_the_hands

I know it says adderral but its is a bit about meph too.
And what i found interesting is the vasoconstriction part.

Also id like to ask how cigarettes / nicotine affects stimulant induced vasoconstriction ... bad / good.

Also if there is someone who could describe why "things" happens and how they happen ... blue .. red ... white (order) extremities would be very helpfull.
+ Helpfull tips to avoid blue red extremities since i belive even if you take too much you can counter-effect these side effect before they turn to extreme ...
but as that article says if you get bad sideeffects even if you think you can take it better go to the ER.

ER nastyness = better then complications / death

mephedrone is not a TOY !

im used to smoking weed almost on daily basis but this shit ... no way ... people should be super cautious with it
 
nicotine is in my experience on it own vasoconstrictive making my hands and feet cold and generally making me feel shivery overall
