Stimulant

A euphoric stimulant similar to mephedrone but said to lack much of the "magic." Never gained the same popularity. Slightly less potent.

Harm reduction

Test your substance. Cocaine, amphetamine and MDMA powders are routinely cut with fentanyl or nitazenes, and stimulant pills are frequently counterfeits.
Do not mix stimulants with each other, with alcohol, or with MAOIs, SSRIs or tramadol - the cardiovascular and serotonin risks compound.
Watch body temperature. Overheating and dehydration cause more stimulant emergencies than heart attacks do. Take breaks, cool down with water and air, and sip (do not gulp) fluids.
Eat and sleep. Sleep deprivation plus stimulants is the standard route into stimulant psychosis.
Do not re-dose compulsively. Set a maximum before you start, and give it to someone else to hold you to.
Chest pain, severe headache, one-sided weakness, slurred speech or fainting are medical emergencies. Call for help immediately.
Nasal use damages the septum and sinuses; chronic use causes permanent damage that does not heal.

Reagent tests show what a substance probably is, not how pure it is or what else is in the mix. Fentanyl and nitazene test strips are the only reliable check for those, and quantitative lab testing is better than both.
