Methylenedioxyallylamphetamine

Methylenedioxyallylamphetamine (MDAL or 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-allylamphetamine) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is also the N-allyl derivative of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA). MDAL was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. In his book PiHKAL, the minimum dosage is listed as 180 mg, and the duration unknown.[1] MDAL produces few to no effects on its own, but may enhance the effects of LSD. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of MDAL.
