Allylescaline (AL), or allylmescaline, also known as 4-allyloxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a lesser-known psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and scaline families. [1] It is closely related in structure to mescaline. [1]

Use and effects

According to Alexander Shulgin in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), the dose range of allylescaline is 20 to 35 mg and its duration is 8 to 12 hours. [1] Allylescaline produces an entactogenic warmth, an entheogenic effect, and a feeling of flowing energy. [1]

Interactions

Pharmacology

The receptor interactions of allylescaline have been studied. [2]

History

Allylescaline was first synthesized by Otakar Leminger in 1972. [3] The compound was later synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and further described in his 1991 book PiHKAL . [1]

Society and culture

Sweden

Allylescaline is illegal in Sweden as of January 2016. [4]

United States

Allylescaline is not directly scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act. However, due to its structural similarities with mescaline, it could potentially be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act if sold for human consumption.
