Proscaline
Proscaline (4-propoxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine or 4-propoxy-3,5-DMPEA) is a psychedelic and hallucinogenic drug. It has structural properties similar to the drugs mescaline, isoproscaline, and escaline. In PiHKAL, Alexander Shulgin reports that a dose of 30–60 mg produces effects lasting 8–12 hours.[1][2]
Pharmacology
Proscaline is a serotonin 5-HT2 receptor agonist.[3] This is thought to be responsible for its psychedelic effects.[3]

Legality
United Kingdom
Proscaline is a Class A controlled substance in the UK.
United States
Proscaline is not directly scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act. However, due to its structural similarities with mescaline, a Schedule I drug, it could potentially be subject to the same control measures and penalties for possession and manufacture under the Federal Analogue Act.
