'''''para''-Methoxyamphetamine''' (also known as '''4-methoxyamphetamine''', '''4-MA''' and '''PMA''') is a potent [[psychoactive class::hallucinogen]] substance of the [[chemical class::amphetamine]] class. PMA belongs to a family of substances known as the [[substituted amphetamines]]. However, unlike other substituted amphetamines, PMA does not produce [[stimulant]] or [[entactogen]] effects, nor [[euphoria]]. It is not taken on its own but is instead found as an ingredient in tablets of "Ecstasy" as a false substitute for [[MDMA]].

'''''para''-Methoxyamphetamine''' (also known as '''4-methoxyamphetamine''', '''4-MeOA''', inaccurately as '''4-MA''' (which should be reserved for [[4-MA]] (4-MeA) instead) and more commonly as '''PMA''') is a potent [[psychoactive class::hallucinogen]] substance of the [[chemical class::amphetamine]] class. PMA belongs to a family of substances known as the [[substituted amphetamines]]. However, unlike other substituted amphetamines, PMA does not produce [[stimulant]] or [[entactogen]] effects, nor [[euphoria]]. It is not taken on its own but is instead found as an ingredient in tablets of "Ecstasy" as a false substitute for [[MDMA]].

PMA has been around since the 1970s, where it was sold along with [[PMMA]] as Ecstasy, and has gained great attention following a number of hospitalizations and deaths. It usually does not produce much noticeable effects, which leads people ingesting more or combining it with other substances, until they eventually overdose. It produces dangerous adverse effects, including a sudden and extremely high rise in body temperature and blood pressure, abnormal heartbeats, dehydration and sometimes severe dizziness.
