 CAT/methcathinone: New Russian "designer drug"

We would appreciate hearing from anyone with experience in the use, abuse,
or  chemistry of methcathinone (CAT), a novel drug used in Russia for some
years and now appearing elsewhere in the world.  We wish to know prices and
availability, use in raves, problems with use, and prospects for the future
of this drug.  We're especially eager to correspond with people in Russia
and Europe.

We are medical people associated with UC Berkeley and Harvard, and will also
share with those who ask what we know about this new material.

Any information is welcome, anonymously if you prefer.  Thank you.

There's nothing particularly new or novel about methcathinone.
Its effects are more or less indistinguishable from amphetamine
or methamphetamine.  It's simply the ketone analogue of ephedrine.
A related but less potent drug, diethylpropion, has been in use
for years as an appetite suppressant.  In this casual generic
nomenclature, methcathinone would simply be methylpropion.
