(what is this?)
β-Methylphenethylamine (β-Me-PEA) is a stimulant drug of the phenethylamine chemical class that is related to amphetamine (which is α-methylphenethylamine). It is found in Acacia species i.e. Acacia rigidula, Acacia greggii, Acacia schaffneri and notably Acacia berlandieri (guajillo). The latter produces a paralytic condition in livestock.[1]. β-Me-PEA is psychoactive in humans as the β-methyl group slows metabolism by the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO).
