'''Methedrone''' (also known as '''4-methoxymethcathinone''', '''bk-PMMA''', '''PMMC''', or '''4-MMC''') is a [[recreational drug]] that is illegal in many countries. It is a [[stimulant]] and [[entactogen]] drug of the [[phenethylamine]], [[amphetamine]], and [[cathinone]] chemical classes. It is closely related to [[para-methoxymethamphetamine]] (PMMA).

== History ==

Methedrone was first synthesized in 1929 by [[Willstätter]] and Mieg, but did not become popular until it was rediscovered in 2003. By 2007, it was being sold as a [[designer drug]]. In 2009, it was identified in Sweden and by 2010 it had spread to other countries in Europe.

== Effects ==

The effects of methedrone are similar to those of [[methamphetamine]], but with a stronger [[empathogenic]] effect. Users report feelings of [[euphoria]], increased [[sociability]], and [[energy]]. However, it also has negative effects such as [[anxiety]], [[paranoia]], and [[insomnia]]. It can also cause physical effects such as increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and in severe cases, damage to the heart and other organs.

== Legal status ==

Methedrone is illegal in many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. It is also illegal in many European countries, including Sweden, where it was first identified as a problem.
