3-MEC is a fascinating research chemical with growing popularity in various circles. Because of its unique effects and potential, 3-MEC has caught the attention of many people. However, what is the average 3-MEC experience of these people? To this question and more, this article will answer.
What 3MEC?
3 MEC stands for 3-Methylethcathinone and it is a research chemical that falls under synthetic cathinones. In terms of chemical structure, 3MEC is therefore similar to mephedrone and 4-MPD, for example. 3-MEC is known for its stimulant effects and is sold in powder form. It is one of the research chemicals and as a result, it is not suitable for recreational consumption.
Synthetic cathinones
Synthetic cathinones are RCs that have stimulant properties similar to amphetamines like MDMA and cocaine. This class of research chemicals increase energy and social interaction. Normal cathinones are found in the leaves of khat, while synthetic ones originated in laboratories when researchers started experimenting with the effects of cathinones.
Difference between 3MEC and 3CMC
The chemical structure of 3MEC and 3CMC is similar, as they both fall under the cathinones. The difference is in the replacement of the methyl group at the ethyl ketone site. In 3MEC this is a methoxy group and in 3 CMC it is a chloride. A second difference is in the potency and recommended dose. 3-CMC is more potent than 3-MEC and therefore a smaller dose is sufficient to achieve the same effects.
Difference between 3-MEC and 3-MMC
In terms of the 3 MEC experience, 3-MEC is very similar to 3-MMC. Here too, however, you will find subtle differences, as 3 MMC, for instance, is more powerful in its stimulant effects. Moreover, you'll find more euphoric feelings and higher energy levels here than with 3 MEC. Do you like a less intense experience? Then opt for 3-MEC.
3-MEC werking
De structuur van 3 MEC zorgt ervoor dat het centrale zenuwstelsel gestimuleerd wordt door de afgifte en opname van bepaalde stofjes. Deze neurotransmitters, zoals serotonine, noradrenaline en dopamine, zijn van belang bij de regulatie van je stemming, concentratie en motivatie.
Duration of 3-MEC effect
How long 3-MEC works for you depends on your individual susceptibility and on the conditions of the study. Consider, for example, the dosage of the RC. A light dose consists of only 10-20 milligrams of the RC, but a strong dose already contains 40-60 milligrams of active ingredient. Average experience with the duration of action of 3-MEC is:
- Works for the first time 20-40 minutes after ingestion
- Peak is reached at about one to two hours after ingestion
- Total duration of effects will be around four to six hours.
3-MEC experience
Not much research has yet been done on 3 MEC and the 3-MEC experience, but there are a number of online experience reports available, in which researchers share their experience with 3 MEC. In general, 3-MEC will give the following effects:
- Higher energy level
- More alert state
- Better concentration
- Super motivated
- Feeling of well-being
- Euphoric feelings
- Possibly: increased libido
