3-MeO-PCP was first synthesized in 1979 to investigate the structure-activity relationship of [[phencyclidine]] (PCP) derivatives. Its activity in humans was not described until 1999 when a chemist using the pseudonym John Q. Beagle reported qualitative similarities to [[PCP]] along with comparable potency.<ref name="PCP2MXE">Morris, H., & Wallach, J. (2014).

Like other substances of its class, particularly [[methoxetamine]] (MXE), [[phencyclidine]] (PCP), and [[3-MeO-PCE]], it is known to primarily induce a state referred to as "[[dissociatives#Subjective effects|dissociative anesthesia]]", although the extent to which this occurs is reported to be highly dose-dependent and variable in its effects. It is commonly taken [[orally]] and [[nasally]], although it may also be [[smoked]] and [[injected]]. It has been noted for its subtle come up and tendency to produce [[Delusions#Delusion of sobriety|delusions of sobriety]], which can lead to [[compulsive redosing]].

==Subjective effects==
==Subjective effects==
3-MeO-PCP can be said to feel considerably more stimulating and less immobilizing than other [[dissociatives]] such as [[ketamine]] or [[MXE]]. At lower doses, it can induce sensory enhancements such as [[color enhancement]], [[acuity enhancement]], [[tactile enhancement]], [[auditory enhancement]] and [[bodily control enhancement]]. However, at medium to high doses, it presents sensory suppressions such as [[tactile suppression]], [[motor control loss]], [[auditory suppression]] and [[acuity suppression]]. Based on a large amount of experience reports, it appears to be considerably more likely to induce [[mania]], [[delusions]], and [[psychosis]] than other dissociatives (possibly due to its unusually high potency, [[compulsive redosing|compulsivity]] and erratic dose response).

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - This substance is regarded to be noticeably stimulating in comparison to other dissociatives such as [[ketamine]], [[MXE]], or [[DCK]]. The stimulation it presents is clean and comfortable in a manner which is far closer to that of [[3-MeO-PCE]] than that of [[O-PCE]].
