Interactions

Summary sheet: Proscaline

Proscaline ( 4-propyloxy-3,5-DMPEA) is a psychedelic phenethylamine. It has structural and pharmacodynamic properties similar to the drugs mescaline, isoproscaline, and escaline.

It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and later described in his book PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story. In modern times, it is used as a recreational drug, rarely sold on the streets and almost exclusively obtained as a grey area research chemical through the use of online vendors. Therefore, it is relatively uncommon and has only a short history of human use.

Pharmacology

Main article: Serotonergic psychedelic

Proscaline's psychedelic effects are believed to come from its efficacy at the 5-HT_2A receptor as a partial agonist. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.

Toxicity and harm potential

Main articles: Research chemicals § Toxicity and harm potential & Responsible use § Hallucinogens

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational proscaline use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried proscaline within the psychedelic community suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to trying this drug, but nothing can be completely guaranteed.

It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this drug.

Tolerance and addiction potential

Proscaline is not habit-forming and the desire to use it can actually decrease with use. It is most often self-regulating.

Tolerance to the effects of proscaline are built almost immediately after ingestion. After that, it takes about 3 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 7 days to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). proscaline presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all psychedelics]], meaning that after the consumption of 2C-C all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.
