4-Desoxymescaline, or 4-methyl-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a mescaline analogue related to other psychedelic phenethylamine. It is usually known as DESOXY. It was discovered by Alexander Shulgin and published in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved).

[edit] Legality

[edit] United States

In 1970 the Controlled Substances Act placed mescaline into Schedule I. It is similarly controlled in other nations. 4-Desoxymescaline could be considered an analogue of mescaline, under the Federal Analogue Act, making it illegal to manufacture, buy, possess, or distribute without a DEA license.

[edit] Dosage

A typical dosage is within the range of 40-120 mg and lasts 6-8 hours.[1]

[edit] Effects

The effects of DESOXY vary significantly from mescaline, despite their chemical similarity. Users report an elevated mood and some hallucinations, although nothing as intense as visuals reported on mescaline[citation needed]. There has been some suggestion that the dosage level of 40-120 mg might be too small to achieve mescaline-like effects, but since this compound has undergone only limited human experiments it may be unsafe to increase the dosage.
