Scaremongering about 3-MMC

Scaremongering about 3-MMC. The government and addiction clinics go hand in hand. And that is not for nothing. A favorite pastime of these two is terrifying when something new appears on the market.

Promotion

Well, you can't expect a government to promote drugs, even though they've tolerated alcohol since time immemorial. And addiction clinics prefer to be on the safe side by immediately labeling any new drug as dangerous or 'possibly' highly addictive.

3-MMC

These drugs are suddenly labeled as new by clinics and the government. But of course the average user has known it for quite some time. For the ignorant citizen it is certainly new, because in the mainstream media they only write about mind-altering drugs if there is a sensational story attached to it. Because the media does not benefit from news, but from the number of clicks. And sensational stories score well in terms of clicks.

Eight years

De designerdrug 3-MMC (ook wel ‘Poes’ of ‘miauw’ genoemd) wordt meestal verkocht als kristalachtig wit poeder. De drug is sinds 2012 op de drugsmarkt. Dit is erg kort en de drug wordt daarom ook wel een designer drug of NPS genoemd. Over designer drugs is erg weinig bekend. Vaak is er geen of amper onderzoek naar gedaan. Ook over 3-MMC is dus weinig kennis. En toch luiden burgemeesters en verslavingsklinieken nu al de noodklok.

Carefully

Caution is advised when using 3-MMC. You can become addicted to 3-MMC. It is suspected that 3-MMC is more addictive than other drugs. This is probably because users experience a strong 'craving' during use. A craving is a strong urge to use or use more. 

Legislation 3-MMC

Op het moment is 3-MMC niet verboden. 3-MMC valt momenteel namelijk onder de Warenwet. De overheid is wel bezig met een wet die groepen designerdrugs in één keer verbieden. 3-MMC en een heleboel andere drugs zouden daarmee verboden worden.
