    Summary TheDrug.Wiki

    AEM is an extremely rare and poorly documented phenethylamine psychedelic first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and described in PiHKAL as entry #1. Shulgin reported that doses exceeding 220 mg produced few to no psychoactive effects, classifying it as essentially inactive. The compound's inactivity discouraged Shulgin from synthesizing further alpha-position-extended mescaline analogues (such as alpha-propylmescaline or alpha-butylmescaline).

    Tolerance

    Build-up develops within days of regular use; analgesic tolerance faster than respiratory depression tolerance
    Reset 7–14 days for partial reset; full reset may take weeks β€” tolerance loss greatly increases overdose risk

    Tolerance Decay

    Half tolerance 7d Baseline ~35d

    No established activity; tolerance patterns cannot be inferred for AEM itself. If the ingested material is actually an active serotonergic psychedelic, expect typical cross‑tolerance with other psychedelics lasting days to weeks.
