A 27-year-old man experienced substance intoxication after a single ingestion of what he believed was pure methylone powder purchased online. Chemical analysis revealed the powder contained about 60% methylone (120 mg) and 38% 5-MeO-MIPT (76 mg), a mixture not disclosed to the user. The case highlights that clinicians should be alert to intoxication from these agents and that substance-related mental disorders may be complicated by the combined use of multiple psychoactive drugs, especially when the actual composition of purchased drugs is unknown.
