'''Beta-D''', or '''3,4,5-tri[[methoxy]]-beta-di[[Deuterium|deutero]][[phenethylamine]]''', is a lesser-known [[Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants|psychedelic drug]]. It is one of the only [[phenethylamines]] that contains [[Deuterium]], the other being [[4-D (psychedelic)|4-D]]. Beta-D exists as a [[sulfate]] [[salt]] or as a [[hydrochloride]] [[salt]]. It is the beta-dideutero [[analog (chemistry)|analog]] of [[Mescaline]]. Beta-D was first synthesized by [[Alexander Shulgin]]. In his book ''[[PIHKAL]]'' (''Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved''), the dosage is listed as approximately 200-400 mg for the sulfate salt, and 178-356 mg for the hydrochloride salt. Its effects last for 12 hours. Beta-D has a very rapid onset. It produces an increased appreciation of [[music]] and a strong [[entheogen|connection with God]].<ref>{{CitePiHKAL}}</ref> Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of Beta-D.
