I done some research on Methcathinone and there’s not really as much info on this as other drugs on other sites.
Although the search doesn't work for some reason I’ve tried to locate info in various forums with out success.
I would like to get some personal experiences and ”raves” and “rants” about this drug.
Any info & warning on mixing it with other drugs. (i.e. Acid & E)
Is 1g to much to start with? Is it correct: 1/8th at a time?
Your help will be much appreciated.
 
A few quick facts:
A. Although not available on "The Street", Methcathinone can be made by anyone with two hands and a 9th grade education, although it's currently illegal to do so. It'll change your mind about drug chemistry and turn you into a Libertarian, which is one of the side effects. Not that I'd break any laws, but one of the components can be found next to the water heaters in Sears' hardware department.
B. Cat makes any theoretical dwelling, laboratory or utility building where it's being made smell good. Most people think it smells like pistacio ice cream, but I think it made the fully licensed DEA lab where I saw it created smell like the Grape Drink they used to give you in public school Hot Lunch.
C. Cat doesn't really get you all that high. Maybe it did in 1993, when we were all trying to make glass out of Vicks' Inhalers and mothballs, but it's more akin to a strong caffeine buzz than anything else.
D. Spare Kandy bracelets can be used to hold the coffee filters over the drinking glass in lieu of having actual lab equipment. Not that anyone unqualified should do this, all the lab equipment in the DEA funded facility that day was simply in the dishwasher after some research involving synthesis of Mil Spec KY Jelly.
E. I have it on good authority that Cat can make you crash worse than the Challenger the next day. SWIM was unable to figure out basic math the next day, but then again, this person often has trouble with basic math.

It's crap. I posted about this a few weeks ago.
By the way, the pistachio smell is not cat, it is benzaldehyde, which results from over oxidizing the pseudo. Unavoidable with the strong oxidizer that is next to the water heaters at sears.
 
Are you saying that its a $100 per gram coffee buzz ...
What a waste of money then! Why are people so "hooked" on it then?
A. Because anyone with the aformentioned 9th grade education can make it, for about $3 a gram, to boot...
B. You get the satisfaction of getting to make something yourself. Cookies you bake at home won't be of the same quality as ones made by a bakery, and this shit doesn't hold a candle to meth made by people who care about what they're doing. It's still fun.
 
Anyone who is selling Cat most likely made it themselves and if they're charging a $100/gram they're insane and stupid. Cat is actually semi-popular from time to time in certain parts of Michigan (which happens to be where I live...) and a lot of people who are just starting to use cat blow through a gram or more per day easily. Who's going to start using a drug that's going to cost you hundreds of dollars per day before you even develop a tolerance? Just my two cents.
 
so do lab rats prefer 'cat' over bzp or ritalin?
how worthwhile is it?
i mean, it has to be better than ephedrine.
ebola
np: meat beat
 
When I had a small studio apartment with no space for a real drug lab, I used to make this shit all the time...
Honestly, when made CORRECTLY it's not bad - it's not meth but it gives a good speed type buzz... here is the thing - people don't know HOW TO MAKE IT CORRECTLY .. they get this brown good and have usually oxidized the shit out of the ephedrine, so they have crap... when you do it correctlyyou have a WHITE, CRYSTALINE substance that many will GLADLY pay $50-$100 a gram ....
I would say it's DEFINITLY better then BZP, maybe closer to Ritalin ..
And no one post any links to synths.. the one thing I wish I never wrote was my kitchen synth for the shit...
 
So phreex how are you talking about ingesting it? IV? I mean snorted ritalin is way better than ephedrine but it is no speed type buzz.
It doesn't really seem worth mixing with e from what I have heard. Undoubtedly it raises your body temprature (increasing the e damage) and doesn't seem *that* enjoyable but then again I have never done this combo.

The brown cat is definantly shit. Some girl used to sell $20's of it at this club a few years ago. It was about as fun as caffeine. She was totally hooked on it and everyone just laughed at her and thought she was an idiot because she actually liked the stuff. I'm sure it could have actually had you going if you did a half gram or so, though.
 
The bad thing about the kitchen synth being out is people will actually make it. It's cool for getting a little synth experience in, but few people find the drug itself worth it and it fucks a lot of people up for months... I'd just assume it not be made at all.
