Buscaline

Buscaline is a psychedelic drug that is structurally related to mescaline. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and described in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved).

Chemistry

Buscaline, or 4-butoxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a phenethylamine class compound. Its structure is similar to that of mescaline, but it has a butoxy group at the 4-position, instead of the methoxy group found in mescaline.

Pharmacology

The pharmacological properties of buscaline are not well-studied. However, it is known to be a psychedelic, suggesting that it likely acts as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist, like other psychedelic phenethylamines.

Effects

The effects of buscaline are not well-documented, as it is not commonly used. However, it is likely to produce effects similar to other psychedelic phenethylamines, such as visual hallucinations, altered thought processes, and enhanced sensory experiences.

Legality

The legality of buscaline varies by country. In the United States, it is not specifically listed as a controlled substance, but it could potentially be considered an analog of a controlled substance under the Federal Analogue Act.
