This is a toxic reaction that elevates body temperature to a dangerous, and in some cases lethal, level. The other great difference between PM M A and other amphetamine-type substances is its toxicity.
PM M A can be up to 20 times more potent when acting on certain enzymes in the brain, meaning that a user who is taking a relatively low dose of 80mg of MDMA is suddenly taking the equivalent of a seriously dangerous amount of PM M A.
It is for this reason that some believe that the re-emergence of the drug is due to prohibitionist controls on the production and supply of established illicit drugs. Strict law-enforcement, stemming from the UN convention treaties, of well-known established drugs such as MDMA has paved the way for a new market of unknown substances and an emerging culture of legal highs. This is no more clearly seen than through the banning of a number of precursor chemicals used to make MDMA - the most well-known being the 50 tonne seizure of safrole in Thailand back in This led to a significant dent in availability for MDMA production and so chemists looked for alternative ways and means of production.
Unfortunately, the use of anise oil as a replacement precursor resulted in the product PMA. Consequently, international governments have inadvertently allowed more dangerous chemicals to enter the drugs market by cutting the supply of MDMA. It is therefore a sad reality that our drug laws have contributed to the deaths of those young men at Christmas and New Year. As such, this is an issue that the government should be primarily focused on tacking.
It is quite easy to say that if these people obeyed the law then they would still be alive.
