Abstract
THE psychotomimetic methoxyamphetamines are drugs which chemically resemble both mescaline and amphetamine. The subjective effects produced by them are similar to those elicited by other psychotomimetic agents1-3 and cross tolerance has been demonstrated between at least one methoxyamphetamine and mescaline3. There may be some differences in the actions of these drugs and other psychotomimetic agents such as D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), for in clinical trials4-7 and animal tests8 some methoxyamphetamines show considerable amphetamine-like activity, and one of them can produce marked enhancement of self-awareness in the absence of perceptual distortions and disorganization of thinking4-7.
