Metaproscaline
Metaproscaline is a lesser-known psychedelic drug related to mescaline. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and documented in his book PiHKAL. Metaproscaline is classified as a phenethylamine, but many of its properties and effects are still not fully understood due to the lack of scientific research.
History[edit | edit source]
Metaproscaline was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, a renowned chemist and psychopharmacologist. Shulgin's work focused on the synthesis and testing of potentially psychoactive substances, many of which were phenethylamines like metaproscaline. His findings were published in his book PiHKAL, which stands for Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
Metaproscaline is a phenethylamine, a class of compounds that includes many psychoactive substances. It is structurally related to mescaline, a naturally occurring psychedelic found in certain cacti. The chemical formula of metaproscaline is C13H19NO2.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of metaproscaline are not well-documented due to the lack of scientific research. However, anecdotal reports suggest that it may produce effects similar to other psychedelics, such as altered perception, enhanced sensory experiences, and changes in thought processes. These effects are thought to be due to its interaction with the serotonin system in the brain, but this has not been confirmed by scientific studies.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of metaproscaline varies by country. In some countries, it is classified as a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess and use. It is always recommended to check the local laws before obtaining or using any psychoactive substance.
