Beta-D, or β-D, also known as 3,4,5-trimethoxy-β,β-dideuterophenethylamine or as β,β-dideuteromescaline, is a psychedelic drug of the scaline family related to mescaline. It is the isotopologue of mescaline in which the two hydrogen atoms at the β position have been replaced with the deuterium isotopes.

In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and other publications, Alexander Shulgin lists β-D's dose as 200 to 400mg orally in the case of the sulfate salt or 178 to 356mg orally in the case of the hydrochloride salt and its duration as 12hours. The onset ranged from 15minutes to 1.5hours. The drug produces hallucinogenic effects similarly to mescaline, with these effects of β-D having been thoroughly described. It is thought to be very similar or indistinguishable in terms of properties, effects, and metabolism compared to mescaline.
