What is BMPEA?
BMPEA is an amphetamine-like stimulant drug that was first developed in the 1930s. It has never been tested in humans, but it was shown to increase blood pressure and heart-rate in dogs and cats. It is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency and it is not allowed in dietary supplements.
