Yes it is a compound it's a new one and quite a breakthrough. The name is as it is due to secrecy as the man or woman above stated they have figured to not make new ones well known. The first vendor that either synthesized/started selling it was pushing it as very rare. And the feeling to be as difficult to pin down as finding the chemical. If you check around a lot of them are selling out fast it has many precursor applications as well as its stand alone action. It's names reference to ethylone is due to the similar effect but a much more intense effect from this compound. Buy it up. If your a chemist and you have access to HPLC, Mass Spec, double MSS etc keep the compound to yourself. This needs to stay under wraps. The vendors have all agreed to keep it under wrap for a good reason. I pushed and pushed many abput this product when it first appeared. I finally got a good answer from my own tests coupled with statements from a few vendors who I work extremely close with. The narrative they are following on this one is as stated above. And anybody who's testing especially if your a chemist with an immense understanding of pharmacokynetics/phaeceutical chemistry R&D you will see the whole picture. I advise it to be used as a precursor only not for any human to consume. Very bad idea I've ran a few trials on off time during my home days. I'm doing a promising study I hope goes well and I get published on. I got so interested in this I started research on action. I have come across some papers from a special buddy and the testing it's receiving on its own by the most interested big parties is interesting but my own and thiers points to. PRECURSOR ONLY. SERIOUSLY UNLESS YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HURTING OTHERS TO DEATH THEN DO NOT DISTRIBUTE AS IS.
