This is the Conversation Forum for Ecstasy - the drug << Biased report ecstasy >> Subject: MDA Posted Nov 29, 2004 by clzoomer- mostly retired.   Posting 1 I've never tried Ecstasy but by description it sounds like one of the old 60's favourites, MDA (*The Love Drug*) I googled it and got this: *The phenethylamine that corresponds to MDA (removing the alpha-methyl group) is 3,4-methylenedioxyphenethylamine, or homopiperonylamine, or MDPEA, or simply H in the vocabulary of the Muni-Metro world. This compound is an entry in its own rights. The adding of another carbon atom to the alpha-methyl group of MDA gives compound J, and leads to the rest of the Muni-Metro series (K, L etc). All of this is explained under METHYL-J. The bending of this alpha-methyl group back to the aromatic ring gives an aminoindane, and with J one gets an aminotetralin. Both compounds react in animal discrimination studies identically to MDMA, and they appear to be free of neurochemical toxicity.* I guess I'm not missing that much.

It may wellbe that they are part of the the same chemical famiy as Ecstasy and are often sold as Ecstasy. Didn't know that "the love drug" was a 60s name though, but looking back at the name I can see why! Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: MDA Posted Dec 6, 2004 by clzoomer- mostly retired.
