  • Title: PMA deaths in Ontario.
    Author: Cimbura G.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1974 Jun 08; 110(11):1263-7. PubMed ID: 4834431.
    Abstract:
    A new street-drug, para-methoxyamphetamine (PMA), recently made its appearance in Ontario. Between March and August 1973 there were nine deaths of young people in this province that were attributed to the drug. PMA appears to have a powerful hallucinogenic effect as well as a marked toxicity to the central nervous system. The clinical picture resembles that observed in cases of acute poisoning by amphetamine and methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA).
