MEE (psychedelic)

MEE (psychedelic)

MEE, also known as 3-Methoxy-4-ethylamphetamine, is a psychedelic drug and a substituted amphetamine. It is a member of the DOx family of compounds which are known for their psychedelic effects. MEE is a relatively obscure substance and not commonly used recreationally.

Chemistry

MEE is a substituted amphetamine, meaning it is an amphetamine molecule which has been modified. In this case, a methoxy group has been added at the 3 position of the phenyl ring, and an ethyl group has been added at the 4 position. This results in the full chemical name of 3-methoxy-4-ethylamphetamine.

Pharmacology

The exact mechanism of action of MEE is not fully understood. However, it is believed to work primarily by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. These neurotransmitters include serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. This increase in neurotransmitter levels can result in a range of psychedelic effects.

Effects

The effects of MEE can vary greatly depending on the dose taken. At lower doses, effects can include feelings of euphoria, increased energy, and enhanced sensory perception. At higher doses, effects can include hallucinations, altered perception of time, and intense emotional experiences.

Risks

As with all psychedelic drugs, there are risks associated with the use of MEE. These can include psychological risks, such as anxiety and paranoia, as well as physical risks, such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. It is also possible to have a bad trip, which can be a very distressing experience.

Legal Status

The legal status of MEE varies by country. In some countries, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess and use.
