It may contain incorrect information, particularly with respect to dosage, duration, subjective effects, toxicity and other risks. It may also not meet PW style and grammar standards.
Severe neurotoxicity is associated with the use of 4-CA and can directly cause injury or death.
4-CA is strongly linked to neurotoxicity, severe injury, and death. Please see this section for more details.
WARNING: Always start with lower doses due to differences between individual body weight, tolerance, metabolism, and personal sensitivity. See responsible use section.
DISCLAIMER: PW's dosage information is gathered from users and resources for educational purposes only. It is not a recommendation and should be verified with other sources for accuracy.
4-Chloroamphetamine (also known as 4-CA, 4-CMP, para-Fluoroamphetamine, PCA and P-CMP) is a novel synthetic substituted amphetamine that induces a mixture of entactogenic and stimulant effects when administered.
4-CA is known for its severe neurotoxicity and is used in animal study to selectively kill serotonergic neurons.[citation needed]
It is highly recommended to avoid the use of this substance and to use harm reduction practices if done anyway.
As a result, it may contain incomplete or wrong information. You can help by expanding it.
Chemistry
4-Chloroamphetamine is a synthetic compound of the substituted amphetamine class. Amphetamines contain a phenethylamine core featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain with an additional methyl substitution at Rα. Amphetamines are alpha-methylated phenethylamines. 4-CA contains a chlorine atom at R4 of its phenyl ring and is a chlorinated analogue of amphetamine.
Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWikicontributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.
It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.

This toxicity and harm potential section is a stub.
As a result, it may contain incomplete or even dangerously wrong information! You can help by expanding upon or correcting it. Note: Always conduct independent research and use harm reduction practices if using this substance.
Warning:Many psychoactive substances that are reasonably safe to use on their own can suddenly become dangerous and even life-threatening when combined with certain other substances. The following list provides some known dangerous interactions (although it is not guaranteed to include all of them).
Always conduct independent research (e.g. Google, DuckDuckGo, PubMed) to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe to consume. Some of the listed interactions have been sourced from TripSit.
