How common is PMA in the US? What are the effects compared to MDMA? Any info will be appreciated for the sake of harm reduction.
Doses of less than 50 milligrams (usually one pill) causes symptoms like Ecstasy; increased breathing, body temperature, pulse rate and blood pressure, erratic eye movements, muscle spasms, nausea and heightened visual stimulation. Dosages over60-80 mg (lower than those used regularly for Ecstasy) are considered potentially lethal. They can cause cardiac arrhythmia and arrest, breathing problems, pulmonary congestion, kidney failure, hypothermia, vomiting, convulsions, coma and death.

Marquis gives positive to PMA? I thought I read PMA tested negative to the marquis? I've never tested it though so I wouldn't know for sure...PMA is a bitch of a drug - will not show up on standard tests, Marquis will give positive etc.
It is without doubt pretty toxic / dangerous and can lead to death at a relatively small dose.

According to the ecstasydata Mitsubishi reports, the marquis had "no reaction"It seems to be very rare, upon investigating the pill reports that show up positive for it, they all are "suspected contents" and the accounts honestly sound like piperazine to me.
Some people intentionally take it, here is an account someone had with confirmed PMA: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=7897
