Summary
Limited human data—treat as an experimental research chemical. Appears to act as a prodrug to 4-methylcathinone (not mephedrone) via N-debenzylation, with markedly lower potency and euphoria than mephedrone. Prominent peripheral stimulation (tachycardia, vasoconstriction) with comparatively subtle empathogenic qualities.
Dose Information
Dose basis. Ranges synthesized from multiple user reports; no human PK or clinical dosing studies exist. Treat as highly uncertain; individual sensitivity varies. Sources: Bluelight reports and Drugs‑Forum discussions. User reports consistently describe harsh nasal burn and limited benefit vs oral; insufflation not advised for harm reduction. Sources: Bluelight reports. (Dose figures and this note are from Drugs.Wiki.)

| Insufflated | 25-60mg | 60-120mg | 120-200mg | 200mg+ (not advised) |

Baseline
~14d
Acute tolerance: develops within a single session — the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
Pattern inferred from cathinone/amphetamine use reports: tolerance builds over multi‑day use and decays over 1–3 weeks of abstinence. Data quality is anecdotal; avoid consecutive‑day or binge use.

Tip: for quicker logging you can also add a Custom Unit in the app, e.g. common dose ~ 275 mg (Oral).
The app keeps custom substances simple, so the full dose ranges live in the description text above. Ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription.
