2,3,6-Trimethoxyamphetamine (2,3,6-TMA), also known as TMA-5, is a psychedelic drug and mild stimulant 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 2,3,6-TMA's dose as approximately 30mg or more orally and its duration as 8 to 10hours. Based on limited testing, the effects of 2,3,6-TMA were reported to include intense introspection, mild stimulation, and pupil dilation, among others. The drug was said to be comparable to about 75μg or more LSD. It is approximately 10times more potent than mescaline. However, it was noted that more testing was needed.
