MEDA, also known as 3-methoxy-4,5-ethylenedioxyamphetamine or as 5-methoxy-EDA, is a chemical compound of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and EDxx families.[1][2] It is the EDxx analogue of the MDxx psychedelic and entactogen MMDA (5-methoxy-MDA).[1][2][3] In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin lists MEDA's dose as greater than 200 mg orally and its duration as unknown.[1][2] MEDA produced few to no effects at tested doses.[1][2] The chemical synthesis of MEDA has been described.[1] MEDA was first described in the scientific literature by Shulgin in 1964.[3] Subsequently, it was described in greater detail by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991.[1]
