routes_of_administration=Para-methoxy-ethylamphetamine or PMEA is a stimulant drug related to
PMA andethylamphetamine .PMEA reputedly produces similar effects to PMA, but is considerably less potent [ Bustamante D, Diaz-Veliz G, Paeile C, Zapata-Torres G, Cassels BK. Analgesic and behavioral effects of amphetamine enantiomers, p-methoxyamphetamine and n-alkyl-p-methoxyamphetamine derivatives. Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior. 2004 Oct;79(2):199-212. ] 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. Investigation of a drug-related death in Japan in 2005 showed PMEA to be present in the body and was thought to be responsible for the death.
