Thiotrisescaline

Thiotrisescaline (also known as T-3) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug related to mescaline. It is one of the few psychedelics whose structure incorporates a sulfur atom.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

Thiotrisescaline, or T-3, is a phenethylamine of the 2C family. It is structurally similar to mescaline, but differs in that it has three thioether groups attached to the basic phenethylamine structure, hence the prefix 'thio'. The full chemical name is 2,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The pharmacological mechanisms of T-3 are not well understood. It is believed to act as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelic phenethylamines. However, due to the presence of the sulfur atom, it may also have unique pharmacological properties not seen in other psychedelics.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of T-3 are not well documented, as it is a rare and little-studied substance. Anecdotal reports suggest that it produces effects similar to those of other psychedelics, such as visual distortions, enhanced sensory perception, and altered thought patterns. However, these reports should be taken with caution due to the lack of scientific research.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of T-3 varies by country. In many jurisdictions, it is considered a controlled substance due to its structural similarity to mescaline.
