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
“Anyways, aside from this, it was an interesting psychedelic, it had 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.

Aggregated from 21 Erowid experience reports
Each bar shows the share of analyzed reports whose text mentions that effect — a mention is not always a first-hand experience (fear of an effect, something witnessed, or "did not happen" count too). Tap or hover any number for details. The second value is the Bluelight extractor's per-effect confidence; a dash means the row is Erowid-derived, which has no confidence measurement.

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.

I woke up sick as hell the next morning still. I was able to keep food down at least. I was sick the next day too. This shit sucked a great deal. I did MXE a few days later and almost threw up (never happens with MXE) I guess because my digestive system was…
