, is a series of lesser-known psychedelic drugs
similar in structure to amphetamine and to trimethoxyamphetamine
(TMA). They were first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin
and written up in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved)

Note that two other positional isomers of dimethoxyamphetamine, 2,6-DMA and 3,5-DMA, have also been made, but these drugs have not been tested in humans and their effects are unknown. However, it is likely that these compounds would also produce amphetamine-like stimulation or possibly hallucinogenic effects.
