Drug: PMA

Aka: chicken yellow, chicken fever, Mitsubishi turbo, red Mitsubishi, killer, para-methoxyampethamine, double stacked

What is it?

PMA is often sold as ecstasy. It’s sold in tablet form, and the effects are similar to ecstasy but it is much stronger. Tablets are often thicker then ecstasy tablets, hence the term ‘double stacked’.

Drag and drop the drug onto the scene
to see what happens when
someone takes the drug.

How is it used?

It is taken orally as a tablet

What are the effects?

Similar to ecstasy, feeling alert, awake, being able to dance for hours without feeling tired.
Feel in tune with your surroundings with colours seeming more intense.
Can cause muscle spasms and makes you feel sick.
Increases the body temperature and pulse rates possible fatally.

What are the risks?

The risk of overheating is much greater with PMA than with ecstasy, so if you feel you are overheating, get help immediately.

Be Safe

Look after each other.

Take regular breaks from dancing.

As your body temperature rises, and you become dehydrated, you will want to drink. You must sip water, but not too much. Drink about a pint of water over an hour.

If you drink too much too quickly, it can be dangerous or even fatal. This is because it can cause your body to produce a hormone, which prevents you from producing urine (wee), so it affects your body’s salt balance, which can be fatal.
