==Chemistry==
Macromerine is in a family of chemicals called the phenethylamines, and it is a close ] of ]. The full chemical name of macromerine is 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(dimethylamino)ethanol.


==Dosage== == Chemistry ==
Macromerine is a phenethylamine derivative with the molecular formula C<sub>12</sub>H<sub>19</sub>NO<sub>3</sub>.
Macromerine is said to have "1/5" the potency of mescaline, so a dosage could be 1250-2500 ] based on the dosage of mescaline ].


==Effects== == Effects ==
At least one study found macromerine to be non-psychoactive,<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1007/BF00421429| pmid = 4711372| title = Macromerine, normacromerine and bisnormacromerine: Non-psychoactive methylated derivatives of norepinephrine| journal = Psychopharmacologia| volume = 30| issue = 2| pages = 145–51| year = 1973| last1 = Vogel| first1 = W.

Little is known about the psychedelic effects of macromerine. ] states that a ] of macromerine-containing cactus, Doñana, "had been very mild and very strange, with many waves of intense ] and extremely persistent after effects, such as distorted vision and a very weird feeling of unreality lasting for weeks after its use."


== See also ==
However, considering Doñana is usually no more than 0.1 percent macromerine, several pounds of the dried cactus would be required to consume a psychedelic dosage of macromerine. What is more likely is that the combination of all ]s present in the cactus produce the effects of Doñana.
