Mexamine, a possible new psychedelic?

5-Methoxytryptamine - Wikipedia

It mentions it is quickly destroyed by Mao in the body in humans, I'm curious to as if some rue would make it psychedelic?

Just had this idea. No idea if it's any good.

No idea! I was actually wondering this the other day to

Cool to know I was not the only one!

I'm really surprised more trippers haven't posted their experiments with it yet. Hoping I can eventually test this out in the near future


Also, ty to mods for moving, I didn't even know we had this sub-forum!

I would be interested in being a guinea pig if needed

I think the absence of various groups on the amino group prevents any serious psychoactivity. As soon as you add two methyl groups on mexamine, therefore dimethyl, you get a very strong psychoactive molecule known as 5-MeO-DMT.

Thread 'Mexamine'

Jun 12, 2013

5-Methoxytryptamine (5-MT), also known as mexamine, is a tryptamine derivative closely related to the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin. 5-MT has been shown to occur naturally in the body in low levels.[1] It is biosynthesized via the deacetylation of melatonin in the pineal gland.[1]

5-MT acts as a full agonist at the 5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5-HT4, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors



the above was copied off of Wikipedia.

I noticed the 5-ht2 bit and it of course sparked my brain bits with thoughts of melatonin deacetylation and fat rails of mexamine but this almost seems to good to be true...
