Recent testing of 3 separate samples in Victoria, all believed to be M**A, were found to contain 4-CMC. The samples were all in the form of crystals that were white, or off-white in colour.
4-Chloromethcathinone (4-CMC) is a type of stimulant called ‘cathinone’, also known as clephedrone.
Higher doses of cathinones can lead to longer periods of unwanted effects following the initial stimulating (‘high’) effects. Usually, these unwanted side-effects include sleeplessness and muscle twitching, increased risk of agitation, paranoia and hallucinations, and toxic effects such as overheating and heart problems.
Mixing cathinones with other drugs can have unpredictable effects and increase the risk of harm. Mixing them with other stimulants – such as speed, methamphetamine, M**A or co***ne – can increase the risk of cardiac events like heart strain which can lead to a stroke.
Stimulants can also interact with a range of medications, including those used to treat depression and anxiety. Commonly used medications that may interact with stimulants and increase the risk of toxic effects include ‘SSRIs’, ‘SNRIs’ and ‘TCAs’. Always seek information about your medications before mixing with other substances.
