phenethylamine 

A classification of chemical compounds, most of which are psychoactive drugs. Beta-Phenethylamine is neurotransmitter in the brain, and it is believed to be the body's natural version of amphetamine.
Some drugs that fall into the phenethylamine classification include all amphetamines (as well as methylphenidate), ephedrine, designer hallucinogens (2C-B, 2C-I etc.), mescaline, bupropion (Wellbutrin), and venlafaxine (Effexor), as well as the amino acids (D/L)Phenylalanine and L-Tyrosine.

Many (if not all) hallucinogenic phenethylamines are mentioned in the book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved) by Dr. Alexander Shulgin and Ann Shulgin.
Dan: How exactly does Wellbutrin work as an apetite supressant?
Paul: Well, technically Wellbutrin is a phenethylamine and an amphetamine, so it blocks the reuptake of dopamine to curve your apetite.

Phenethylamine 

( 2-phenylethan-1-amine),
2- phenethylamine, β-PEA, PEA or phenylethylamine is a trace amine that is both endogenously and exogenously used .

In the CNS, It's natural purposes include VMAT2 inhibition and TAAR1 agonism to release dopamine, a substited phenethylamine with hydroxy groups on R 3 and 4.

Dopamine (especially D1 receptors in NAc) is involved in focus and reward.

People with ADHD have both lower levels of phenethylamine and dopamine in their brain.

Phenethylamine does exist in chocolate. However it will not cause effects.

Naturally, orally ingested phenethylamine will not work due to the fact it's quickly metabolized by MAO B and then ALDH into phenyl acetic acid and leaves with urine.

However, ingestion of a MAOI B will cause ingested phenethylamine to travel directly into the CNS.

This will cause the person to feel Intense stimulation and strong euphoria .

Phenethylamine can be both legally bought as freebase ( yellowish oil) and HCL (crystals).

Supplements of phenethylamine are

Substituted phenethylamines are molucles that have the base phenethylamine structure but with hydrogen atoms switched to different groups

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
