Summary
Methallylescaline is a synthetic mescaline analog first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. It has an unusually steep dose-response curve where small dosage changes can dramatically alter the experience. Known for producing intense visual and tactile effects with a pronounced body load that can include nausea, muscle cramps, and difficulty urinating at higher doses.
Perspectives
“An interesting psychedelic with a nature of being very taut, springy, and vibrate-y. It was thin and high pitched but harmonious.”
“Too much overload. I am surrounded with unreality. I do not choose to repeat the experiment.”

Acute tolerance: develops within a single session — the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
Rapid tolerance develops to classical psychedelics and cross‑tolerance is well‑documented between LSD and mescaline; MAL is inferred to follow a similar 5‑HT2A‑mediated pattern. Values above are heuristic for planning intervals, not pharmacokinetic half‑life. Data quality primarily anecdotal with inference from classic literature.

I first head of Methallylescaline, or MAL, and similar Mescaline analogues online and how relatively rare and unpopular they were. I further read a few experiences and was interested in giving the substance a try.
T0:00-Mix powder into orange soda. There is absolutely no flavor, interestingly enough, no cringe inducing bitterness. I have mixed psychedelics with orange soda before (4-AcO-DMT and Psilocin), and the bitterness pierced through the flavor and made me cringe and shiver. I sip it.
Me: 140lb white male. 30 years old. Generally, my reactions to psychoactives are idiosyncratic, so I don't post them. There's not much use if you can't extrapolate from them. For instance, I react badly to cannabis and MDMA, but enjoy bufotenine and salvia.
I had this experience while at home from college, when the air gets colder and the sun sets earlier (Sometimes I feel psychedelics can set the mood for a season).
J: 180lb, 65mg MAL dose (capsule) M: 130lb, 45mg MAL dose (capsule) Set and Setting: Both of us were excited to try MAL for the first time. The substance was tested with Mecke, Mandeline, and Marquis and was positively tested to be Methallylescaline HCl.
[Erowid Note: The dose described in this report is very high, potentially beyond Erowid's 'heavy' range, and could pose serious health risks or result in unwanted, extreme effects.

Hi! I'm a long time (5+ year) lurker, it's about time I posted a TR. Early 30's female, 80kg (I'm tall) Moderate psychedelic experience. I generally prefer low doses, but have experimented with 10g mushrooms and 600ug LSD once each. Counting DMT, probably ~20-25 trips.
MAL / METHYLALLYLESCALINE - 25mg + 5mg rectal - Second time by this ROA tl;dr - I've had many good experiences with MAL. This wasn't one of them. Nor was it a bad one. It was just an inexplicable, dull, gross nothingburger.
My apologies in advance for a lack of a rich narrative...the trip just wasn't that interesting (at least for the external observer), and I just want to get some information on this (somewhat rare) compound out there. I am a early-30 something male weighing roughly 80 kg.
I noticed a lack of reports on MAL on the internet, so I wrote this one up. Me: 140lb white male. 30 years old. Generally, my reactions to psychoactives are idiosyncratic, so I don't post them. There's not much use if you can't extrapolate from them.
