Use and effects

In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin lists Ganesha's dose range as 24 to 32 mg orally and its duration as 18 to 24 hours.[1] The drug's onset was variably described as slow over the course of 3 hours or as rapid.[1] The effects of Ganesha have been reported to include strong closed-eye visuals, an increased appreciation of music, and powerful relaxation and tranquility, among others.[1] Shulgin named Ganesha after the Hindu deity, Ganesha.[1] It is one of his "ten classic ladies", a series of methylated DOM derivatives.[1][2]
