Mephedrone (4-MMC) can buy legally in California?​

Legal Status​

If you are looking to buy mephedrone online (4-MMC) in the state of California, you should know that this drug is classified as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substance Act and falls under the Federal Analogue Act. The severity of the punishment depends on the quantity, as well as the specific act - purchase or possession, or the purpose of selling or manufacturing the drug. However, any act is a criminal offense. Buying mephedrone in California can carry the threat of losing your job, ruining your credit history, or adding problems with obtaining citizenship. For a first offense and in the absence of other convictions in California, courts usually apply softer measures, in part due to overcrowded prisons.

Mephedrone Arrest Cases in California for 2024-2025​

Mephedrone is prohibited by law both in California and at the federal level. This drug is not the most popular, but it is often sold through darknet marketplaces. Over the past year (2024-2025), several cases of arrest for the sale and possession of 4-MMC have been reported in some cities of the state:

• Los Angeles (January 2024) - 10kg of mephedrone seized, underground laboratory in an industrial area, 4 people arrested, sentence up to 20 years.
• San Francisco (February 2024) - seizure of 500g of mephedrone with the aim of selling through Telegram, sentence up to 5 years.

The main supplier of mephedrone to the state of California is Mexico and China (often in the form of precursors for synthesis). Those laboratories that are engaged in production are usually small in scale. The sale of the finished product usually goes through the darknet or Telegram.

Mephedrone (4-MMC) drug - weight and law​

The boundary between a misdemeanor and a felony in possession​

Depending on the quantity in California, possession can be classified as a misdemeanor or a felony:

• Up to 1g of 4-MMC will be classified as a misdemeanor with a maximum sentence of up to 1 year, a fine of $1,000
• More than 1g is classified as a felony and the maximum sentence is up to 3 years, a fine of up to $10,000

Often, the case can be reclassified as a misdemeanor, a suspended sentence or compulsory treatment, and community service may be assigned. Selling up to 1 kg of mephedrone can result in a maximum sentence of 3-5 years in prison, which clearly does not correlate with possessing one ounce for personal use. Accordingly, in real practice, with a quantity of up to one ounce (~28g) and with a good character (no repeated crimes, no criminal record), it is possible to replace a real sentence with rehabilitation or probation. The possibility of changing the classification depends on the county, of which Los Angeles and San Francisco are more liberal.

Aggravating Circumstances​

Aggravating factors such as selling to minors and near schools can increase the punishment. Transportation and trade between states already entails the use of federal law, which also significantly increases the severity of the punishment.

Buy Mephedrone Safely​

If you are buying an amount of 4-MMC approaching an ounce (~28g), to avoid being accused of distribution, you should avoid packaging it into separate packets, having scales with you (at home or in the car), any telephone or other records about mephedrone, the weight of mephedrone, and conversations about this substance. It is advisable to have witnesses who can confirm your drug addiction and, necessarily, the presence of mephedrone in your blood (hire a toxicologist expert) to prove personal use of 4-MMC. In some cases, the conclusion of this expert will help change the sentence to compulsory treatment or reduce the overall sentence. Do not keep large sums of money with you so as not to arouse suspicion of trading, do not correspond about money with other people.

When buying on the darknet, you can conduct the transaction completely safely with the investigation, completely openly. Even in this case, it will help mitigate or reclassify the punishment, compared to cases of offline trading, which in some cases can lead to the opposite consequences.

Quantities above an ounce are more difficult to prove as quantities for personal use, nevertheless, such quantities of 4-MMC without proof of distribution lead to sentences less than the minimum. Always seek a good lawyer and insist that the courts take place in the liberal districts of San Francisco or Los Angeles.
