Ganesha (G or G-0), also known as 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine or as 3-methyl-DOM, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families. It is the 3-methyl derivative of DOM and the amphetamine (α-methyl) derivative of 2C-G. The drug is taken orally.

Use and effects

In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Alexander Shulgin lists Ganesha's dose range as 24 to 32mg orally and its duration as 18 to 24hours. The drug's onset was variably described as slow over the course of 3hours or as rapid. 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. Shulgin named Ganesha after the Hindu deity, Ganesha. It is one of his "ten classic ladies", a series of methylated DOM derivatives.
