Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.
It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠. {{effects/base
Physical effects 
-
- Stimulation
- Bodily control enhancement
- Stamina enhancement
- Temperature regulation suppression
- Increased bodily temperature
- Decreased bodily temperature
- Itchiness - This effect can occur because 2-MMC stimulates the release of histamine.
- Vasoconstriction
- Pupil dilation - This effect often occurs only during the first experience with 2-MMC.
- Increased heart rate
- Dehydration
- Dry mouth
- Dizziness - This effect can occur because of dehydration or sleep deprivation.
- Tactile intensification - The sensation of touching can be described as powerful, clear, pleasant and euphoric on 2-MMC.
- Appetite suppression
- Pupil dilation
- Increased libido
- Teeth grinding
- Restless leg syndrome - This effect can be very strong at higher doses, but is typically mild compared to other stimulants like Amphetamine.
Cognitive effects 
-
- Anxiety suppression
- Disinhibition
- Empathy, affection, and sociability enhancement
- Ego inflation
- Cognitive euphoria
- Increased music appreciation
- Compulsive redosing
- Immersion enhancement
- Memory suppression - 2-MMC's positional isomer 4-MMC has been shown to negatively impact short-term memory[2] and 2-MMC itself anecdotally is said to have immediate disruptive effects on memory.
- Motivation enhancement
- Creativity enhancement
- Thought acceleration
- Delirium & Confusion - This effect typically only occurs with overly high doses, and is associated with temperature dysregulation and overheating, particularly when 2-MMC is taken in crowded, physically strenuous environments that leaves the user unable to cool off, rest, or rehydrate adequately.
- Time compression - Strong feelings of time compression are commonly produced by 2-MMC and speed up the experience of time noticeably.
- Wakefulness
