2,3,4-Trimethoxyamphetamine (2,3,4-TMA), also known as TMA-3 or as α-methylisomescaline, is a putative psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine families. It is one of the possible positional isomers of trimethoxyamphetamine and is a positional isomer of 3,4,5-trimethoxyamphetamine (TMA or TMA-1).

Use and effects

In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and other publications, Alexander Shulgin lists 2,3,4-TMA's dose as greater than 100mg orally and its duration as unknown. The drug produced no effects whatsoever at a dose of 100mg in three separate individuals. Higher doses were not tested, but 2,3,4-TMA could possibly be active at higher doses.
