Methcathinone (α-methylamino-propiophenone or ephedrone) (sometimes called "cat" or "jeff" or "Charlie" ) is a monoamine alkaloid and psychoactive stimulant, a substituted cathinone. It is used as a recreational drug and considered to be addictive. It is usually snorted, but can be smoked, injected, or taken orally. Methcathinone is listed as a Schedule I controlled substance by the Convention on Psychotropic Substances and the United States' Controlled Substances Act. ==History== Methcathinone was first synthesized in 1928 in the United States and was patented by Parke Davis in 1957.〔US Patent 2802865 -ETHYLAMINOPROPIOPHENONE COMPOUNDS〕 It was used in the Soviet Union during the 1930s and 1940s as an anti-depressant (under the name ''Эфедрон''—''ephedrone''). Methcathinone has long been used as a drug of abuse in the Soviet Union and Russia. Circa 1994, the United States government recommended to the UN Secretary-General that methcathinone should be listed as a Schedule I controlled substance in the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.〔(Erowid )〕 In parts of Europe this drug is not listed as a dangerous drug and is under review by the authorities in the United Kingdom where at the moment it is a Class B drug. They want it reclassified as a class A drug when it is dissolved in water for injection use just as amphetamine is. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Methcathinone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
