MDA-19

MDA-19 is a drug that acts as a potent and selective agonist for the cannabinoid receptor CB₂, with reasonable selectivity over the psychoactive CB₁ receptor, though with some variation between species. In animal studies it was effective for the treatment of neuropathic pain, but failed to produce cannabis-like behavioural effects.

2,3-Methylenedioxyamphetamine

2,3-Methylenedioxyamphetamine (2,3-MDA) or ORTHO-MDA is an amphetamine derivative which is mentioned in PIHKAL as a fairly potent and long-lasting stimulant drug, but with little or none of the entactogenic effects associated with its better-known structural isomer MDA.

Methylenedioxyamphetamine

Methylenedioxyamphetamine, also known as 3,4-methylenedioxy-amphetamine, MDA, tenamfetamine (INN), or colloquially as "Sally", "Sass", or "Sass-a-frass", is a psychoactive drug of the substituted methylenedioxyphenethylamine and substituted amphetamine classes of drugs that is consumed primarily for its entactogenic, psychedelic, and psychostimulant effects. Pharmacologically, MDA acts as a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent and reuptake inhibitor. Possession of MDA is illegal in most countries. Some limited exceptions exist for scientific and medical research. The recreational use of MDA predates its more widely used analog MDMA (ecstasy).

Use

Medical

MDA currently has no accepted medical use.

Recreational

Although illegal, MDA is bought, sold, and used as a recreational 'love drug', due to its enhancement of empathy. A recreational dose of MDA is commonly between 100 and 160 mg.

Effects

While MDA is generally similar to MDMA, users report that MDA has more stimulant and psychedelic qualities and less intense entactogenic effects than MDMA. MDA is also considered less predictable than MDMA, with effects varying greatly from person to person. MDA is best known for its enhancement of the experiences of dancing and sex.
