Ganesha (2,5-dimethoxy-3,4-dimethylamphetamine) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is also a substituted amphetamine. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin.[citation needed] In his book PiHKAL, the dosage range is listed as 24–32 mg.[1] The drug is usually taken orally, although other routes such as rectally may also be used.[citation needed] Ganesha is synthesized from 2,5-dimethoxy-3,4-dimethylbenzaldehyde.
