Benzylone Explained
Benzylone (also known as 3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-benzylcathinone or BMDP), is a recreational designer drug from the substituted cathinone family, with stimulant effects. It has been commonly encountered in seizures of street drug samples but appears to have relatively low potency on its own, being mainly found as a component of mixtures with other related drugs.[1] [2] [3]
