'''α-PHP''' (also known as '''alpha-PHP''', '''A-PHP''', '''α-Pyrrolidinohexanophenone''', or '''PV-7''') is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] drug of the [[substituted cathinone|cathinone]] and [[substituted pyrovalerone|pyrovalerone]] classes. It is structurally similar to pyrovalerone compounds such as [[MDPV]] and the successor to the [[designer drug]] [[cathinone]] derivative [[A-PVP]]. It generally comes in the form of either a crystalline powder or crystallized shards which users can ingest to produce powerful but short-lived euphoric stimulant effects which are comparable to those of [[methamphetamine]] and [[cocaine]] when [[insufflated]] or [[vaporized]]. Like its [[research chemical]] predecessors, it is has gained notoriety for its tendency to induce [[compulsive redosing]] in a susceptible population of users ~~and~~ the ability to readily induce ~~psychotic and~~ delusional states when abused.

α-PHP has a short history of use and is subject to much scrutiny by the media. It is being used and marketed as a replacement for [[A-PVP|α-PVP]] (known on the street as ''flakka'') a few years following its ban, where it has come to substitute A-PVP in many parts of the world. While initially synthesized in Chinese labs, a ban on a-PHP within China's borders has forced production to other nations around the world.

==Subjective effects==

In comparison to its predecessor ([[A-PVP]]), this compound has been reported as inducing considerably less anxiety, uncomfortable side effects, euphoria, psychosis and having a slightly ~~softer~~ comedown.

In comparison to its predecessor ([[A-PVP|α-PVP]]), this compound has been reported as inducing considerably less anxiety, uncomfortable side effects, euphoria, psychosis and having a slightly easier comedown.

===Physical effects===

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the user's physical energy levels, α-PHP can be considered to be extremely stimulating and energetic, although less so than with [[A-PVP]]. This encourages activities such as running, climbing and dancing, although it can also encourage just sitting immobile engaged in repetitive tasks. The particular style of stimulation which α-PHP presents can be described as forced. This means that at higher dosages it becomes difficult or impossible to keep still as jaw clenching, involuntarily bodily shakes and vibrations become present, resulting in an extreme unsteadiness of the hands and a general lack of motor control.
