It is structurally related to [[MDPV]] and is one of the successors to the [[designer drug]] [[Substituted cathinone|cathinone]] analog [[A-PVP|α-PVP]]. | ||
It is being used and marketed as a replacement for [[α-PVP]] (known on the street as ''flakka'') a few years following its ban, where it has come to substitute α-PVP in many parts of the world. While initially mass synthesized in Chinese industrial laboratories, a ban on α-PHP within China's borders has forced production to nations worldwide.{{citation needed}} | |||

It generally comes in the form of either a fine powder or crystallized shards that can produce powerful but short-lived euphoric stimulant effects comparable to those of vaporized [[methamphetamine]] and [[cocaine]]. Like its cathinone predecessors, it is has gained notoriety for its tendency to induce [[compulsive redosing]] and addictive behaviors as well the ability to produce [[Delusions|delusional states]] and [[psychosis]] when abused.{{citation needed}} | ||
α-PHP | Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of α-PHP. It has recently become commonly marketed alongside [[research chemical]] [[stimulants]] like [[NEP]] and [[Hexen]] as a legal, grey-market alternative to [[a-PVP]], and commercially distributed through online [[research chemical]] vendors. | ||
It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance. | |||
