Mephedrone is 4-methylmethcathinone, a synthetic stimulant <psychoactive drug>. The chemical identity is described in https://www.euda.europa.eu/publications/drug-profiles/synthetic-cathinones_en[the EUDA synthetic-cathinone profile]. In <causal inference>, an association between increased use and fewer deaths involving another drug does not itself establish substitution: changes in use, population composition and ascertainment must be distinguished.
