EMDA-2, also known as 2-ethoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and methylenedioxyamphetamine families.{{CitePiHKAL }} "The Tweetio homologue of MMDA-2 has been tasted, however. This is 2-ethoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine, or EMDA-2. [...] At 135 milligrams, there have been reported eyes-closed visual phenomena, with intense colors. The overall duration is similar to MMDA-2 (some 10 hours) and there are reported sleep disturbances. At 185 milligrams, the feelings were intensified, there were “marvelous eyes-closed visuals (the colors were incredible), good concentration, but distinct body-tingles and rushes.” The time span was about 12 hours from start to finish, but it proved to be impossible to sleep afterwards. This homologue is thus about a third the potency of MMDA-2."{{cite book | vauthors = Trachsel D, Lehmann D, Enzensperger C | title = Phenethylamine: von der Struktur zur Funktion | location = Solothurn | pages = 828–829 | year = 2013 | trans-title = Phenethylamines: From Structure to Function | edition = 1 | publisher = Nachtschatten-Verlag | series = Nachtschatten-Science | isbn = 978-3-03788-700-4 | oclc = 858805226 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=-Us1kgEACAAJ | language = de | access-date = 31 January 2025 }}{{cite book | vauthors = Brimblecombe RW, Pinder RM | chapter = Phenylalkylamines and Their Derivatives | title = Hallucinogenic Agents | location = Bristol | pages = 55–97 | date = 1975 | publisher = Wright-Scientechnica | url = https://bitnest.netfirms.com/external/Books/978-0-85608-011-1 }} It is the analogue of MMDA-2 in which the 2-methoxy group has been replaced with a 2-ethoxy group. This has resulted in EMDA-2 being described as the "TWEETIO" analogue of MMDA-2.
Use and effects
EMDA-2's dose is approximately 135 to 185{{nbsp}}mg and its duration is about 10 to 12{{nbsp}}hours. At 135{{nbsp}}mg, it produced closed eye visuals, including intense colors, with sleep disturbances and a duration of some 10{{nbsp}}hours. At 185{{nbsp}}mg, its effects were stronger, including "marvelous" closed-eye visuals with "incredible" colors, good concentration, and distinct body tingles and rushes, with insomnia and a duration of about 12{{nbsp}}hours. The potency of EMDA-2 is about one-third that of MMDA-2.
History
EMDA-2 appears to have first been described in the scientific literature by at least 1975. Its effects in humans were described by Alexander Shulgin in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved).
