Usage

Description

(4-chloro-1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)(phenyl)methanone, commonly known as 4-CMC, is a synthetic chemical compound belonging to the cathinone class. It is structurally related to cathinone and methcathinone, which are recognized for their stimulant properties. 4-CMC is often used as a recreational drug and is sold as a designer drug in the form of a white or off-white crystalline powder. It is known to induce stimulant, entactogenic, and empathogenic effects, akin to other cathinones. However, it also comes with a range of negative side effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and an increased heart rate. Furthermore, 4-CMC has been associated with overdose cases and even fatalities, highlighting its potential dangers.

Uses

Used in Recreational Drug Industry:
4-CMC is used as a recreational drug for its stimulant, entactogenic, and empathogenic effects, which are similar to those of other cathinones. It is often sought after for its ability to provide a unique psychoactive experience.
However, it is crucial to note that the use of 4-CMC as a recreational drug comes with significant risks, including negative side effects like anxiety, paranoia, and increased heart rate. Additionally, there have been cases of overdose and death linked to its use, emphasizing the importance of exercising extreme caution and awareness when considering its consumption.
