What is proscaline?

Proscaline is a psychedelic phenethylamine drug and a derivative of mescaline, which is similar in pharmacological properties and effects. It was first synthesized by chemist Daniel Trachsel in 1958.

Proscaline is a powerful hallucinogenic drug, and its effects include altered perceptions, intense visual and auditory hallucinations, and increased euphoria. It can also lead to changes in emotional and cognitive processes.

The drug is classified as a Schedule I substance in the United States, which means that it is illegal to possess or use without a prescription. Due to its similar chemical structure to mescaline, it is often sold as a synthetic mescaline substitute, which can be hazardous due to the unknown purity and strength of the drug.

There is limited research on the long-term effects of proscaline use. However, some users report experiencing mood swings, depression, anxiety, and flashbacks long after the drug was used. Additionally, high doses of proscaline can lead to overdose symptoms, such as seizures or unconsciousness.
