Para-Methoxy-N-ethylamphetamine

Para-Methoxy-N-ethylamphetamine (PMNEA) is a psychoactive drug and research chemical of the phenethylamine and amphetamine classes. It is known for its entactogenic, psychedelic, and stimulant effects.

Chemistry

PMNEA is a substituted amphetamine, which means it is a derivative of the parent compound amphetamine. The chemical structure of PMNEA includes an ethyl group attached to the nitrogen atom of the amphetamine backbone, and a methoxy group attached to the para position of the phenyl ring.

Pharmacology

The exact mechanism of action of PMNEA is not fully understood. However, it is believed to work by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters are involved in mood, energy, and response to stress.

Effects

The effects of PMNEA can vary greatly depending on the dose, the individual's physiology, and the environment in which it is taken. Common effects reported by users include feelings of euphoria, increased energy, enhanced empathy and sociability, and altered perception of time and space. However, PMNEA can also cause a range of negative effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and physical discomfort.

Legal Status

The legal status of PMNEA varies by country. In some countries, it is classified as a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess for personal use.

Risks and Safety

As with all psychoactive substances, using PMNEA carries risks. These can include physical health risks, such as increased heart rate and blood pressure, as well as mental health risks, such as anxiety and paranoia. It is important for individuals to be aware of these risks and to use the substance responsibly.
