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.
