[I BELIEVE] PMA isnt actually that dangerous for MOST people. however it can and does have adverse reactions on some people! plus there is always the occasional person who will just plain eat too many and will feel sick for days after. 100s if not 1000s of PMA pills would be eaten in australia every year, few need hospitalisation. they just feel sick for days after and would not even know the reason for it.
I would tend to disagree with those statements. We've already lost one Aussie Bluelighter I know of. We had previously listened to his raving about PMA and how it hammered him like no other.
Ian Hard RIP- Bluelight Shrine
Adelaide PMA death
Then there are the Samadhis, a Brisvegas Bluelight couple who lost a best friend to PMA.
To me these two stories alone signal BIG danger.
Read what Chromic had to say. Chromic was/ is a (ex) Hive chemist extraordinaire who perfected the Peracetic OTC method for preparing MDMA and other ring substituted amphetamines. A self confessed "synaptic mutilator", Chromic often ate things no-one else was game to try. Some of his tails are harrowing recounts of his experiences.
Here's what he wrote about PMA, known to be PMA because he - or at least the guy he dreamed about - made it.
The bioassay confirmed somewhere around 100mg... at 35 minutes the first effects were noted, his pulse was a mere 60bpm but it felt like it was going to explode. After 45 minutes, the old man noticed a definite stimulant effect, his nasal passages cleared up, his appetite went way down, he had major jaw clenching. At 55 minutes he started to experience major stomach upset, drunken, severe dizziness, cross-eyed sort of feeling, tingly all over the body. At about 1:20 his heart was pounding feeling as if it was going to explode, yawning, had a headache... Then about about 1:40 min there was vomitting, MASSIVE MIGRAINE HEADACHE (let's hope that wasn't his brain hemorhaging... heheh... shh... let's NOT think about it, m'kay?). Definite serotonin syndrome, not fun. At about 2:00 he was coming way down, at 3:30 it was over with an "afterglow" feeling.
If you haven't tried PMA, consider yourself lucky.
Drugfucked. If you think you may have PMA, test with Mandelin. It is reported that mandelin will show a PMA reaction as a colour change going from green to red to brown. I've never sighted this reaction myself, but any change from green to another colour should be treated with suspicion IMO.
Anyone from Enlighten seen a PMA colour change yet? If not, it certainly would be good for them to either obtain a sample or even a video (or photos) of such a reaction.
