TFMPP also known as: Trifluromethylphenyl Piperazine

3- Trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine Monohydrochloride ( TFMPP ) is a piperazine and a CNS stimulant.

TFMPP is not normally used on its own. Samples of TFMPP have been found in some Ecstasy pills. TFMPP is usually used in combination with BZP or other Piperazines.

This combination has made a very popular legal alternative to other stimulants.

All of the Total Highs range of legal highs include this ingredient as do many others.

More Information:

TFMPP acts as a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist, in addition to boosting synaptic serotonin levels by blocking serotonin reuptake and increasing its release. Due to the similar mode of action of ecstasy on the serotonin system, a mix of TFMPP and benzylpiperazine is sometimes advertised as a MDMA substitute. The subjective effects of this combination are often described as similar those of ecstasy, although without the empathic element. However the effects of TFMPP are more similar to hallucinogens such as LSD, although much weaker, with the maximal effect being only 40% compared to the strong hallucinogen DOM.

TFMPP has only mild effects when not combined with benzylpiperazine, and produces aversive effects in animals rather than self-administration, which explains the decision not to permanently make TFMPP an illicit drug.

The dosage commonly used when combined with BZP for "ecstasy-like effects" is between 30 and 100 mg, while higher doses of TFMPP alone cause mildly hallucinogenic effects at around 100 - 250mg
