yes, you may have read that in the media, or in someone elses post here, but that doesnt make it true. always verify by doing your own research.
just to clarify: PMA is made with an (almost) completely identical synthesis to PMA, but it's the precursors that are different, and unfortunately, these not monitored in anyway. it is even suggested in some synth recipes available on the net to practice an MDMA synth with these precursors first. those recipes then go on to say that the resulting PMA should then be destroyed, as it is highly dangerous.
bascially there is no excuse for making PMA. you can't make it by "accident". people that make it and sell it know exactly what they are doing.
