'''PMMA''' ('''para-Methoxymethamphetamine''', also known as '''4-MMA''') is a highly dangerous and toxic ~~drug~~ of the [[Chemical class::Amphetamine|amphetamine]] class, which is closely related to [[PMA]]. Like PMA, it has extremely dangerous side effects, which can result in death. At lower dosages, its effects are somewhat different from PMA, with reduced tendency to cause severe [[Increased bodily temperature|hyperthermia]] and producing more [[entactogen]]ic effects, although at higher dosages it does have the same risk as PMA. Its history of use is unknown, but it has appeared more frequently in the 2000s and 2010s. It is generally less potent than PMA.
