5-Methylethylone

Research chemical

Also known as 5-methyl ethylone or 5-ME, this is a cathinone drug and analogue of ethylone. Little is known about this obscure compound but it is reasonable to assume it has an effect profile similar to other stimulants of the cathionone class, with a slightly higher potency than ethylone. Potentially entactogenic and a monoamine releasing agent.

Harm reduction

This entry comes from the extended library: it is a less-studied substance with fewer independent sources.
Unknown potency is the main risk with novel substances — start with a fraction of any published figure and never re-dose before the full onset has passed.
Test with reagents and, where possible, a lab service. Fentanyl and nitazene contamination is not detectable by eye or by reagent alone.
Avoid using alone, and do not combine with other drugs while you are learning how a new substance affects you.
