What are the effects of 3-MMC?
3-MMC affects people differently based on a range of factors like dosage, their age, health, and whether other substances were taken at the same time.
It is a stimulant which means it impacts physical energy levels, and that’s why it’s often used for festivals and raves. Some effects can include:
- Energetic and extreme stimulation
- Euphoric sensations, including physical bodily sensations
- Sensitive to touch
- Increased affection, empathy
- Increased music appreciation
- Distorted sense of time
- Delirium and confusion
- Increased heart rate
- Impact on vision, including colour enhancement or blurred vision
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Muscle tension, particularly face and jaw
- Increased perspiration
- Dehydration
- High blood pressure
- Dry mouth
- Shortness of breath
- Tremors, seizure
The comedown effects after taking 3-MMC is similar to other stimulants and can include feelings of anxiety, depression, irritability, lack of motivation and difficulty sleeping.
What are the risks of taking 3-MMC?
3-MMC has a strong redosing compulsion, which means there are strong cravings to use again and binge. This increases the risk of overdose, heart attack, stroke, organ failure, and seizures.
If you think someone is suffering from an overdose, call 111 immediately for an ambulance. St John’s has more helpful information on how to deal with an overdose in their first aid guide.
It’s possible to become addicted to 3-MMC and there have been reports of a strong psychological dependence among some users. Tolerance has been reported with prolonged and repeated use, leading to some taking increasing amounts to achieve the same effects. 3-MMC presents cross-tolerance with all dopaminergic stimulants, meaning that after the consumption of 3-MMC all stimulants will have a reduced effect.
Regular use of 3-MMC can have long-term effects on your health, including:
- Difficulty sleeping
- Muscle spasms
- Hallucinations (visual and auditory)
Combining 3-MMC with certain substances such as alcohol or stimulants also increase the risks, while taking it with serotonin releasers like MDMA or anti-depressants can cause dangerously high serotonin levels.
