Vandalism of MEAI article on May 2nd, 2022 removing all mention of Pace drink
[edit]On May 2nd, 2022 the Wikipedia article for MEAI (this one) was vandalized to remove all mention of Pace with view history a comment from the user named "2001:569:511E:A700:CDE8:FA16:78B8:D61E" whom removed it claiming to have done so on behalf of the now defunct DACOA/Pace drink company (view history/edit history for this article). The same user removed "Pace" as a previous reported tradename, removed the research chemical tag classification, and added the ClearMind Medicine website as a reference to a claim in the article (view history/edit history for this article).
In 2018, a company named Diet Alcohol Corporation of the Americas (DACOA) began openly marketing an MEAI-based drink called "Pace" for sale in the USA and Canada. Pace was described as a 50ml bottle containing 160mg of MEAI in mineral water. Distribution halted after Health Canada released a warning indicating the substance was considered illegal to market for consumption in Canada due to structural similarity to amphetamine.[1][2][3] In a December 2018 article by CBC News, Ezekiel Golan (Dr Z/Dr Zee) was interviewed and publicly came out as the "lead scientist" of Pace claiming "tens of thousands" of bottles were already sold in Canada. Golan claimed the MEAI featured in Pace was "manufactured in India" and "bottled in Delaware". Health Canada provided a statement to CBC News stating "Pace is an illegal and unauthorized product in Canada."[4] Ezekiel Golan has been called "the godfather of legal highs" by The Guardian for his contribution in reintroducing substituted cathinone based drugs commonly sold as Bath salts (drug) including Mephedrone[5] The BBC has dubbed him "the man who invents legal highs"[6] At least as of May 26th, 2022, Clearmind Medicine claims wide intellectual property holdings to Ezekiel Golan's patents.[7][8][9][10][11] Gettinglit (talk) 22:01, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

so many things wrong
[edit]am going through and fixing this... so many wrong things... Jytdog (talk) 01:16, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
- This keeps getting redirected to David Nutt because of the remark in the M. Slezak article. But the compound was patented and studied independently and deserves its own entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EzekielGolan (talk • contribs) 01:14, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

My Recent Updates
[edit]Recent updates and sourcing
[edit]I have added recent, reliably sourced updates reflecting developments since late 2024, including FDA clinical trial approvals, public regulatory disclosures, and expanded clinical research coverage.
These edits were intended to:
- update the article to reflect newly published and reported material,
- improve section structure (particularly around clinical research),
- and clarify sourcing for statements that were already present in earlier revisions.
I’m mindful of Wikipedia’s conflict-of-interest and neutral point of view guidelines, and I welcome review or suggestions for improving balance, wording, or sourcing. Ezekiel Golan Doc Zee (talk) 14:53, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
