para-Methoxyamphetamine (PMA; “Death”, “Dr. Death”, “Chicken Powder”, “Chicken Yellow”), also known as 4-methoxyamphetamine (4-MA), is a serotonergic drug of the amphetamine class. Unlike other similar drugs of this family, PMA does not produce stimulant, euphoriant, or entactogen effects, and behaves more like an antidepressant in comparison, though it does have some psychedelic properties.
PMA has been occasionally found in tablets labeled as MDMA (colloquially known as “ecstasy”), although its effects are markedly different compared to those of MDMA.
