Brephedrone
Brephedrone is a psychoactive drug that is classified as a stimulant. It is a member of the cathinone family, a group of compounds that are derived from the khat plant. Brephedrone was first synthesized in 2008 and is known to have psychoactive effects similar to those of methamphetamine.
History[edit | edit source]
Brephedrone was first synthesized in 2008 by a chemist who was attempting to create a synthetic version of cathinone. The drug was initially sold online as a "legal high", but it has since been classified as a controlled substance in many countries.
Effects[edit | edit source]
Brephedrone is a stimulant that increases levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin in the brain. This can result in feelings of euphoria, increased energy, and heightened alertness. However, it can also cause negative side effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and insomnia.
Legal status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of brephedrone varies by country. In some countries, it is classified as a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess and use. It is important to check the laws in your specific location before using or possessing brephedrone.
