'''Aleph''', or '''2,5-di[[methoxy]]-4-[[methyl]][[thio]][[amphetamine]]''', is a [[psychedelic]] [[Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants|hallucinogenic drug]] and a [[substituted amphetamine]] of the [[phenethylamine]] class of compounds, which can be used as an [[entheogen]].  It was first synthesized by [[Alexander Shulgin]]. In his book ''[[PiHKAL|PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved)]]'', Shulgin lists the dosage range as 5–10&nbsp;mg.<ref>{{CitePiHKAL}}</ref>  According to Shulgin, the effects of aleph typically last for 6 to 8 hours.
