    Summary dose.wiki TripSit

    2-MA was investigated as an anorectic in the 1950s and is approximately one-tenth as potent as dextroamphetamine by weight. Modern knowledge comes almost entirely from research-chemical circles. Users report a functional, relatively clean stimulation with muted euphoria compared to amphetamine, though higher doses can induce anxiety, vasoconstriction, and tremor.

    The PsychonautWiki Journal logging app doesn't include every substance. To track 2-MA there, start adding an ingestion, search for the name, and choose to add it as a custom substance. Paste these values:

    ⬇ Download import file Import this file as custom substances and you get "2-MA (Substance Search)" with every route's full dose ladder and timeline, no typing. Works on iOS and Android (v15+); the format is confirmed by the app's developer. The manual values below work for older versions.

    Description 
    2-MA
Source: SubstanceSearch (substancesearch.com)

Oral dose (mg): threshold 5-10
Insufflated dose (mg): light 10-30 · common 30-50 · strong 50-70 · heavy 70+
Rectal dose (mg): threshold 5-10

Oral duration: onset 15-30m · come-up 0.5-1h · peak 1-2.5h · offset 2-4h · total 3.75-8h · after-effects 1-10h
Insufflated duration: onset 5-15m · come-up 15-30m · peak 1-2.5h · offset 2-4h · total 3.33-7.25h · after-effects 1-10h
Rectal duration: onset 3-10m · come-up 10-20m · peak 1-2.5h · offset 2-4h · total 3.22-7h · after-effects 1-10h

Note: ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription. Start low, go slow, and test your substances.

    Tip: for quicker logging you can also add a Custom Unit in the app, e.g. common dose ~ 40 mg (Insufflated).

    The app keeps custom substances simple, so the full dose ranges live in the description text above. Ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription.

    Tolerance

    Build-up develops over days to weeks of regular use
    Reset 3–7 days for acute; 1–3 weeks for full reset

    Tolerance Decay

    Full tolerance 3d Half tolerance 7d Baseline ~30d

    Tolerance to stimulant effects tends to build quickly with consecutive-day use and decays over 1–6 weeks with abstinence; estimates are based on stimulant-class patterns and user reports (anecdotal). Avoid back-to-back days to keep tolerance lower and reduce compulsive redosing risk.
