Miow (Mephedrone)
“Miow” is a street name that has been associated with the drug mephedrone. Mephedrone, also known as 4-MMC or “meow meow,” is a synthetic stimulant belonging to the cathinone class of substances. It gained popularity as a recreational drug in the 2000s.
Mephedrone is chemically similar to amphetamines and cathinones, and it produces stimulant effects. When taken, it can induce feelings of euphoria, increased energy, heightened sociability, and enhanced sensory perception. Users may also experience increased alertness and a sense of confidence.
However, it’s important to note that the use of mephedrone carries significant risks and potential harms. Mephedrone is a potent stimulant, and its effects on the body and mind can be unpredictable. Adverse effects can include increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations, and in severe cases, it can lead to seizures, cardiovascular complications, or even death.
Mephedrone is illegal in many countries due to its potential for abuse and associated risks. It is important to prioritise your health and well-being and to avoid using substances without a prescription or under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use or addiction, it’s important to seek help from a healthcare professional, addiction specialist, or a local support service. They can provide appropriate guidance, support, and treatment options tailored to the specific needs of the individual.
