Almost exactly, in terms after the leftovers ran out, the wholesale vendors used to supply 3-mmc to partners they are not "essential", had the idea to fetch any randon cathinone still available or for dirty cheap price bought from chinese. The 3 major RCs manufacturing companies in EU, since the biggest one is atm unable to supply - officially, had to stop regardless 3-mmc production as you said to avoid lawsuits.
But the result is people who tried 3-mmc anyway found "OK'ish" 3-CMC or 3-CEC or one of the 15+ cathinones available. As you know most big vendors / resellers are not really trying themselves the drugs they sell, and if it comes from a trusted partner who may even be unaware it's not 3-mmc, they may just test with basic kit and see it's a cathinone, kk legit let's put the listings up.
Ending up in a totally messed up situation. You are right manufacturing 4-mmc is not hard per se and precursors can be found without too much struggles - still, the amateur who tried put on the market some junk full of solvents and with such a low purity that cannot be even called 4-mmc IMO
I think from here either:
- 4-mmc (or 3-mmc) will loose again popularity
- the random cathinone will still be bought but from buyers who likes purely stims effects (see NEP) - such a pity most newcomers will think this is 4-mmc or 3-mmc
- hopefully: vendors and suppliers will realize something is odd / buyers complaining, and finally proper 4-mmc will come to the market, not only available in UK (because the culture of 4-mmc never stopped, before or after ban) and eastern countries where production/usage domestic being relatively cheap and a great drug, kept a good popularity (but few vendors shipping to other countries on DNMs)
