2-Fluoromethamphetamine (2-FMA) is a stimulant drug of the amphetamine family which has been used as a designer drug.[1][2][3] 2-FMA is commonly compared to lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse), and dextroamphetamine due to its efficacy as a study or productivity aid.[citation needed] 2-FMA is purported to produce somewhat less euphoria than comparable amphetamines, likely due to its main mechanism of action consisting of norepinephrine reuptake inhibition.[4]

Chemistry[edit]

2-Fluoromethamphetamine is fluorinated analogue of methamphetamine, and is a regioisomer of 3-FMA and 4-FMA.

It does not activate the serotonin receptors, including 5-HT2A,[4] unlike most stimulant drugs of the amphetamine family.

Legal status[edit]

Canada[edit]

As of 1996, 2-FMA is a controlled substance in Canada, due to being an analog of methamphetamine.[5]

China[edit]

As of October 2015, 2-FMA is a controlled substance in China.[6]

Germany[edit]

As of 13 December 2014, 2-FMA is a controlled substance in Germany.[7] It is controlled under Anlage I BtMG (Narcotics Act, Schedule I).[8] Substances controlled under Anlage I BtMG are illegal to manufacture, possess, import, export, buy, sell, procure or dispense it without a license. Violations of the law are punishable by a fine or imprisonment for up to five years.[9]

Ukraine[edit]

As of July 2019, 2-FMA is a controlled substance in Ukraine (considered a narcotic).[10]

United States[edit]

As a close analog of scheduled controlled substance,[1] sale or possession of 2-FMA could be potentially be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act.[11]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
