Allylescaline[edit | edit source]
Allylescaline is a psychedelic compound of the phenethylamine class. It is chemically related to mescaline, a naturally occurring psychedelic found in the peyote cactus. Allylescaline is known for its psychoactive effects, which are similar to those of other phenethylamines.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Allylescaline is a derivative of mescaline, with the chemical formula C12H17NO3. It is characterized by the presence of an allyl group attached to the nitrogen atom of the mescaline structure. This modification is responsible for its unique properties compared to other phenethylamines.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Allylescaline acts primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor. This action is believed to be responsible for its psychedelic effects. Like other psychedelics, allylescaline alters perception, mood, and cognitive processes.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of allylescaline are similar to those of other psychedelic phenethylamines. Users report visual and auditory hallucinations, altered sense of time, and changes in thought patterns. The onset of effects typically occurs within 1 to 2 hours after ingestion, with the experience lasting 8 to 12 hours.
Safety and Toxicity[edit | edit source]
The safety profile of allylescaline is not well-documented, as it is a relatively obscure compound. However, as with other psychedelics, there is a potential for psychological distress, particularly in individuals with a predisposition to mental health disorders. The physical toxicity of allylescaline is presumed to be low, similar to other phenethylamines.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of allylescaline varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be classified as a controlled substance due to its structural similarity to mescaline and other psychedelics. In others, it may not be specifically regulated, although it could fall under analogue laws.
