G-3, also known as 3,4-trimethylene-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families. [1] [2] [3] It is one of several homologues of Ganesha (G). [1] [2] [3] In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and other publications, Alexander Shulgin lists G-3's dose as 12 to 18 mg orally and its duration as 8 to 12 hours. [1] [2] [3] The effects of G-3 were reported to include closed-eye imagery, no visuals, fantasy, warmth, mellowness, no body disturbance to hints of body discomfort, and "some suggestions of neurological sensitivity". [1] Music was described as not that exciting and it was felt that there could be easy eroticism but there was no push for it. [1] The drug was rated a "plus-three" on the Shulgin Rating Scale despite there "not [being] much of anything" in one report. [1] The chemical synthesis of G-3 has been described. [1] G-3 was first described in the literature by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991. [1]
