3-methoxy-4,5-methylendioxyamphetamine
MMDA, 3-MeO-4,5-MDA, 3-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxy-phenylisopropylamine, or 3-methoxy-4,5-methylendioxyamphetamine has stimulant, psychedelic, entheogenic, and entactogenic effects in man.
3-methoxy-45-methylendioxyamphetamine - Chemistry
MMDA is in a family of chemicals called the phenethylamines, and it is a close analogue of MDA and lophophine. It is an analogue of MDA, MDMA, and lophophine. It is also very closely related to the natural essential oils elemicin and myristicin which are both present in the psychopharmacologically active plant nutmeg. The full chemical name of MMDA is 1-(7-methoxy-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)propan-2-amine.
MDA, MDMA, PiHKAL
3-methoxy-45-methylendioxyamphetamine - Dosage
The effective dose of MMDA is 120-150 mg.
3-methoxy-45-methylendioxyamphetamine - Effects
The first symptoms appear within 30-60 minutes following oral administration. Moderate mydriasis, dizziness, sensations of heat or cold, and trembling are occasionally reported as side effects. Psychologically, the most frequently reported effects are accentuation of feelings (anxiety, euphoria, loneliness, loving warmth), the visualization of images (with eyes closed), a state of drowsiness and muscular relaxation, and an overestimation of elapsed time.
The imagery is generally realistic, and often related to everyday perception of people, landscapes. or objects. The effects of MMDA usually reach a peak after the first hour following the initial symptoms, and begin to wane during the second hour, and usually completely disappear by the end of the fifth hour.

Like MDA, he found that MMDA facilitates communication and suggested it has potential applications in psychotherapy. Worldwide as of 2005, MMDA has not been approved for any human applications.
