MME (2,4-dimethoxy-5-ethoxyamphetamine) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is a dimethoxy-ethoxy analog of TMA-2. MME was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin from ethylvanillin. In his book PiHKAL, the minimum dosage is listed as 40 mg and above, and the duration listed as 6–10 hours.[1] Shulgin gives MME a ++ on the Shulgin Rating Scale.
Pharmacology
Shulgin describes in his book an experiment with MME, in which he admistered varying amounts of the drug to mice via injections.[1] Shulgin reports that 7 of the 9 mice injected with MME died as a result.[1] After describing his experiment, Shulgin speculates that MME may have an LD50 value of around 60–80 mg/Kg in mice when injected.[1] Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of MME.
