Buscaline (B), also known as 4-butoxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a psychoactive drug of the phenethylamine and scaline families related to mescaline. It is the derivative of mescaline in which the methoxy group at the 4 position has been replaced with a butoxy group.
In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and other publications, Alexander Shulgin lists buscaline's dose as greater than 150mg orally and its duration as "several hours". The effects of buscaline have been reported to include a slight change from baseline, no noticeable visual or auditory effects, uninteresting mental effects, body load, more bodily effects than mental effects, brief heart arrhythmia, stomach discomfort, light diarrhea, cold feet, and slight uncomfortableness. No clear hallucinogenic effects were described.
