<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[File:Dimethylone.svg|thumb|{{PAGENAME}}]]<br>'''Dimethylone''' is a [[psychoactive drug]] of the [[phenethylamine]], [[amphetamine]], and [[cathinone]] chemical classes. It is structurally related to [[methylone]], a designer drug that has been detected in products marketed as bath salts, plant food, and tablets.<br />
<br />
==Chemistry==<br />
Dimethylone is a [[beta-ketone]] analogue of [[methamphetamine]]. It is often referred to as bk-MDDMA (or beta-keto-MDDMA), and is a structural analogue of [[MDMA]] where the methylenedioxyphenyl group has been replaced with a methylenedioxybenzyl group.<br />
<br />
==Pharmacology==<br />
The [[pharmacology]] of dimethylone is not well known. However, it is suspected to act as a [[serotonin]], [[norepinephrine]], and [[dopamine]] [[reuptake inhibitor]] or [[releasing agent]], similar to other [[cathinones]]. This means it may increase the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain by blocking or reversing their reuptake into neurons.<br />
<br />
==Effects==<br />
The effects of dimethylone are not well studied and reports from users vary greatly. Some users report effects similar to [[MDMA]], while others report more of a [[stimulant]] effect. These effects may include feelings of euphoria, increased sociability, mental and physical stimulation, and increased empathy. However, negative side effects can include anxiety, paranoia, and increased heart rate.<br />
<br />
==Legal Status==<br />
The legal status of dimethylone varies by country. In the United States, it is a Schedule I controlled substance. In the United Kingdom, it is a Class B drug. In Canada, it is a Schedule I drug. It is also controlled in many other countries under their laws on psychoactive substances.<br />
