Journal of Mental Science April 1, 1955 Dwight I. Peretz, John R. Smythies, William C. Gibson 55 citations

TMA (3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl-β-aminopropane) shares a chemical structure with both amphetamine and mescaline. Because of this dual relationship, researchers anticipated that the compound might produce clinical effects combining features of both drugs. The study investigated whether TMA would indeed elicit a blend of amphetamine-like and mescaline-like responses in practice.
