Paramethoxyethylamphetamine
Introduction
Para-methoxy-ethylamphetamine or PMEA is a stimulant drug related to PMA and ethylamphetamine.
PMEA reputedly produces similar effects to PMA, but is considerably less potent [1] and seems to have slightly less tendency to produce severe hyperthermia, at least at low doses. At higher doses however the side effects and danger of death approach those of PMA itself, and PMEA should still be considered a potentially dangerous drug.
CAS number: 93963-24-7 (hydrochloride)
