Mephedron and Monkey Dust: Danger in Berlin nightlife!

The drug Mephedron (4mmc) is booming in Berlin's nightlife and attracting more and more consumers. The disadvantage: there is only limited information about your effects and the dangers of contaminated products. In order to counteract this problem, the drug checking project in Berlin was launched where users can have their substances tested in order to learn more about their purity and ingredients. This could help reduce health risks, reports Berliner Zeitung .

The risks of consumption

Conor Toomey from the Berlin gay advice explains that Mephedron is often consumed over the nose, which leads to a higher dependency potential. The substance quickly unfolds its effect, but decreases as quickly as possible, which increases the desire for re -taking it again. Toomey also reports Monkey Dust, a newer drug that also has her dark sides. This can quickly cause psychoses, often connected to paranoia and aggressiveness, which leads to an increased risk of consumers and their environment, as well as Drugchecking.berlin

worrying is also the fact that many consumers acquire drugs under false names. In this way, authentic Mephedron products can be confused with less effective cathinons such as 2mmc or 3cmc, which leads to unwanted effects and health dangers. TOOMEY recommends testing a small amount before consumption and refraining from consumption in order to minimize health risks. Furthermore, breaks between the consumers should be observed, and consumers should be aware of which mixtures of drugs can be dangerous, especially if different psychoactive substances are combined.
