Methcathinone
Methcathinone, known
on the streets as "Cat," is a structural analogue of methamphetamine
and cathinone. Clandestinely manufactured, methcathinone is almost exclusively
sold in the stable and highly water soluble hydrochloride salt form. It
is most commonly snorted, although it can be taken orally by mixing it
with a beverage or diluted in water and injected intravenously. Methcathinone
has an abuse potential equivalent to methamphetamine and produces amphetamine-like
activity. It was placed in Schedule I of the CSA in 1993.
