4-Methylpentedrone

4-methylpentedrone is a substance that some people use to get high. It’s kind of like a medicine that makes you feel different. But, just because it’s a medicine, doesn’t mean it’s always safe to take.

You know how sometimes you might get sick and need to take medicine to feel better? Well, sometimes people take medicine just because they want to feel a certain way, like happy or relaxed. But not all medicines are for that. Some can be dangerous if they aren't used correctly.

With 4-methylpentedrone, it's important to remember that its effects on the body and brain are not very well known yet. It may have some harmful effects and could be addictive. It's also illegal in many places. So, it's not something you should ever try without talking to a doctor or a trusted adult first.
