Dose
Very little is known about dosage, but initial reports are for dosages of 5-20 mg taken orally...though a few reports of higher dosages (50-60 mg) have surfaced.

Law
2-Aminoindan is an uncontrolled substance in the United States meaning that possession is not specifically illegal.

Chemistry
2-Aminoindan is a synthetic stimulant.

Production
The bulk of available 2-Aminoindan appears to be produced by experienced chemists in commercial labs.

Onset
From initial reports, onset seems to be relatively fast, from 10-30 minutes

Duration
Duration of effects is uncertain, but has been reported as "somewhat shorter than Methamphetamine".

The Experience
Effects descriptions vary, but there is agreement that 2-aminoindan is stimulating. While some published and unpublished reports have been quite positive, around half of those describing their experiences to erowid have said they've found it more jittery and uncomfortable than amphetamine or methamphetamine.

At this time (December 2003), there are too few reports to have a solid profile of the character of the 2-aminoindan experience.

Addiction Potential
Early reports suggest that there may be noticeable addiction potential. Individuals who tried 2-Aminoindan orally reported significant desire to re-dose after a few hours as well as the next day.

Contraindications

• As with most stimulants, those with heart problems or with a family history of heart disease may be at greater risk of heart problems due to increased heart rate and blood pressure.
