'''3,5-Dimethoxy-4-propoxyamphetamine''' (commonly known as '''3C-P''' or '''3C-Proscaline''') is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] compound of the [[chemical class::Substituted amphetamines|amphetamine]] chemical class. Although its name suggests it may be related to the [[2C-x]] family, this is not the case since it is the 3-Carbon analog of [[proscaline]]
'''3,5-Dimethoxy-4-propoxyamphetamine''' (also known as '''3C-P''' or '''3C-Proscaline''') is a lesser-known [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::Substituted amphetamines|amphetamine]] class. Although its name suggests it may be related to the [[2C-x]] family, this is not the case since it is the 3-Carbon analog of [[proscaline]].


It is unknown when 3C-P was first synthesized. Alexander Shulgin has mentioned 3C-P in his book [[PiHKAL]] and has presumed its dosage to be in the range of 20 to 40 milligrams.<ref>https://erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal140.shtml</ref>
The original synthesis date of 3C-P is unknown. Its theoretical synthesis is briefly mentioned in [[Alexander Shulgin|Alexander Shulgin's]] book [[PiHKAL]], in which it is speculated to have psychedelic properties and a presumed dosage range of 20 to 40 milligrams.<ref>https://erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal140.shtml</ref> It is typically sold on the online [[research chemical]] market.


Today, 3C-P is used for [[recreational drug use|recreational]] and research purposes, and exclusively distributed as a gray area [[research chemical]] by online vendors. Very little is known about its effects.  
Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 3C-P, and it has only a brief history of human usage. It is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.
