PMA dosage and effects?

[StaySedated]

i recently aquired 1g. of PMA and wanted to know what the safe dose of it is. i know of the drug's bad reputation but lower doses can be safe and euphoric, theres just a steep dose/response curve.

also, how are it's effects and how is it compared to other empathogens?

There is no "safe" dosage. It's a horrible drug.

^ I don't agree with that at all (not the effects list, they sound about right, though most of the negative effects probably come from too high a dose), I think this drug has such a bad reputation because most people that take it do so in unknown dosages thinking that it's ecstasy. If you weigh your doses carefully and gradually increase, I think it would be hard to get into trouble. I can definitely imagine that if you push the dose too much, you'll regret it (see negative effects list above ).

I found it quite nice, it's like a shorter version of MDMA. I think I got as far as 50-60 mg, and it felt like that was the limit, I really wouldn't want to take more. The come-up was quite intense, and fast. Start much lower, say 20mg.

Flush it.

If you ignore that, look here: http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal097.shtml

Stay with doses under 80mg it looks like. Start low, really low. Monitor your heart and temperature on a low dose (~20mg) first.

But please, just don't. Your body is worth too much to be fucking around with shit drugs.

there actually a PMA faq here on BL. it says dose at 40mg.> and that it is similar in effect to MDMA.
