'''2C-C''' ('''2,5-Dimethoxy-4-chlorophenethylamine''') is a [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] [[Chemical class::phenethylamine]]  of the [[2C-x family]].<ref>Alexander Shulgin - PIHKAL | http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal033.shtml</ref> It was first synthesized by [[Alexander Shulgin]] and later described in his book [[PiHKAL]]: A Chemical Love Story.


In modern times, it is used as a recreational drug, rarely sold on the streets and almost exclusively obtained as a grey area [[research chemical]] through the use of online vendors. Therefore, it is relatively uncommon and has only a short history of human use.
'''4-Chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine''' (commonly known as '''2C-C''') is a lesser-known [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[Chemical class::phenethylamine]] class that produces [[psychedelic]] effects when [[routes of administration|administered]].<ref name="PiHKAL">{{cite book|title=PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story|title-link=PiHKAL|author-link1=Alexander Shulgin|author1=Alexander Shulgin|author2=Ann Shulgin|year=1991|publisher=Transform Press|location=United States|isbn=0963009605|oclc=1166889264|chapter-url=https://erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal022.shtml|chapter=#22. 2C-C}}</ref> It is a member of the [[2C-x family]] of psychedelic phenethylamines, all of which were derived from the systematic modification of the [[mescaline]] molecule.  


Many users report that 2C-C is gentler and more [[Sedation|sedating]] than other closely related [[psychedelic]] [[phenethylamines]], such as [[2C-B]].
2C-C was first synthesized by Alice C. Cheng and Neal Castagnoli Jr. in 1983 as an intermediate in a study evaluating the neurotoxicity of 6-hydroxydopamine analogs.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Cheng|first1=A. C.|last2=Castagnoli Jr|first2=N.|year=1984|title=Synthesis and physicochemical and neurotoxicity studies of 1-(4-substituted-2, 5-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethane analogs of 6-hydroxydopamine|journal=Journal of Medicinal Chemistry|volume=27|issue=4|pages=513-520|doi=10.1021/jm00370a014|pmid=6423824|issn=0022-2623|eissn=1520-4804|oclc=39480771}}</ref> Its activity in humans was later investigated and documented by [[Alexander Shulgin]] in his book [[PiHKAL]] ("Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved").
 
Many users report that the effects of 2C-C are gentler, more relaxed, and [[Sedation|sedating]] than other closely related [[psychedelic]] [[phenethylamines]] such as [[2C-B]], [[2C-I]], and [[2C-E]]. It is one of the least potent members of the 2C-x family, with muted visual effects and a relatively unaltered headspace.
 
Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 2C-C, and its history of human use is limited. Today, it is used for [[recreational drug use|recreational]] and therapeutic purposes. It is rarely sold on the streets and distributed online as a grey area [[research chemical]].

2C-C's [[psychedelic]] effects are believed to come from its efficacy at the [[Serotonin#The 5-HT system|5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptor]] as a [[Agonist#Agonists|partial agonist]]. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the [[psychedelic]] experience continues to remain elusive.

===Physical effects===
{{effects/base
*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous tactile sensations]]''' -  The "body high" of 2C-C can be described as a pleasurable, warm, soft, all-encompassing and mild tingling sensation. This maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached.
 
*'''[[Effect::Bodily control enhancement]]''' and '''[[Motor control loss]]''' - Whilst at lower doses one may find that their bodily control is enhanced, at higher dosages it seems to become suppressed.
|{{effects/physical|
*'''[[Effect::Increased heart rate]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' & '''[[Effect::Sedation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the user, the 2C-C experience typically begins with mild stimulation, but usually becomes somewhat sedating as the experience progresses and surprisingly lacks the distinctive energetic feeling associated with most [[phenethylamines]]. This is described in [[PiHKAL]] as "''an intense form of relaxation.''"<ref name="PiHKAL"/>
*'''[[Effect::Nausea]]''' -  Although nausea remains present, in comparison to other [[phenethylamines]] such as [[2C-E]], [[2C-I]] or [[2C-B]], this remains extremely mild and dissipates quickly even with higher dosages. It is perhaps one of the most physically underwhelming [[psychedelic]]s out there for this reason alone.
*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous physical sensations]]''' -  The "body high" of 2C-C can be described as a pleasurable, warm, soft, all-encompassing and mild tingling sensation. This maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached.
*'''[[Effect::Bodily control enhancement]]''' - Whilst at lower doses one may find that their bodily control is enhanced, at higher dosages this becomes suppressed.
*'''[[Effect::Increased blood pressure]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Increased bodily temperature]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Increased heart rate]]''' - This compound seems to not increase heart rate as much as related substances.
*'''[[Effect::Increased perspiration]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Muscle cramps]]''' - Very high dosages of 2C-C are known to cause random muscle tightening, which can become uncomfortable.
*'''[[Effect::Nausea]]''' -  Although nausea remains present, in comparison to other [[phenethylamines]] such as [[2C-E]], [[2C-I]] or [[2C-B]], this remains relatively mild and tends to dissipate quickly. It is considered by some to be one of the most physically understated [[psychedelics]] known.

*'''[[Effect::Pupil dilation]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Pupil dilation]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' and '''[[Effect::Sedation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the tripper, the 2C-C experience begins with mild stimulation, but usually becomes very sedating as the experience progresses and lacks the distinctive energetic feeling associated with most [[phenethylamines]]. This feeling was accurately described in [[Alexander Shulgin]]'s PiHKAL as "''an intense form of relaxation.''"<ref name="isomer">2,5-Dimethoxy-4-chlorophenethylamine (Isomer Design / PiHKAL) | http://isomerdesign.com/PiHKAL/read.php?id=22</ref>

====Distortions====
*'''[[Effect::Drifting]]''' ''([[Drifting#Melting|melting]], [[Drifting#Flowing|flowing]], [[Drifting#Breathing|breathing]] and [[Drifting#morphing|morphing]])'' - In comparison to other psychedelics, this effect can be described as highly detailed, slow and smooth in motion, static in appearance and cartoon-like in style.
*'''[[Effect::Colour shifting]]'''

====[[Effect::Geometry]]====
The visual geometry of 2C-C is more similar in appearance to that of [[2C-B]] than that of [[Psilocin]], [[2C-E]], or [[ayahuasca]]. They can be comprehensively described as unstructured in their organization, algorithmic in geometric style, intricate in complexity, large, fast and smooth in motion, colorful in scheme, glossy in color, sharp in their edges and angular in their corners.
 
====Hallucinatory states====
2C-C can produce a full range of hallucinatory states in a fashion that is more consistent and reproducible than that of many other commonly used psychedelics. However, the dose required to reach this state is significantly higher than many related 2C-x phenethylamines. These effects include:
 
*'''[[Effect::Transformations]]'''
*'''[[Effect::Internal hallucination]]''' (''[[Effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[Effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[Effect::perspective hallucinations]]'' and ''[[Effect::scenarios and plots]]'') - 2C-C is capable of producing high levels of hallucinogenic imagery, although typically only at very heavy doses. When this effect does occur, it commonly contains hallucinations with scenarios, settings, concepts and autonomous entity contact. They are more common within dark environments and can be described as internal in their manifestation, lucid in believability, interactive in style and almost exclusively of a personal, religious, spiritual, science-fiction, fantasy, surreal, nonsensical or transcendental nature in theme.
*'''[[Effect::External hallucination]]''' (''[[Effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[Effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[Effect::perspective hallucinations]]'' and ''[[Effect::scenarios and plots]]'') -  2C-C is capable of external hallucinations embedded within visual geometry. This particular effect commonly contains hallucinations with scenarios, settings, concepts and autonomous entity contact. They can be described as external in their manifestation, lucid in believability, interactive in style and almost exclusively of a personal, religious, spiritual, science-fiction, fantasy, surreal, nonsensical or transcendental nature in their overall theme.

*'''[[Effect::Empathy, love, and sociability enhancement]]''' - This component is consistently manifested only in the context of social settings in which one is within the company of others. These feelings of sociability, love and empathy are a little weaker and less sharp than those found on substances such as [[MDMA]] and [[2C-B]]. They primarily manifest during the stimulating onset of the experience and dissipate once the full extent of the trip takes place.
*'''[[Effect::Empathy, affection, and sociability enhancement]]''' - This component is consistently manifested only in the context of social settings in which one is within the company of others. These feelings of sociability, love and empathy are not as pronounced than those found on substances such as [[MDMA]] or [[2C-B]].
*'''[[Effect::Analysis enhancement]]'''

====[[Effect::Geometry]]====
}}
The visual geometry that is present throughout this trip can be described as more similar in appearance to that of [[Psilocetin|4-AcO-DMT]] or [[ayahuasca]] than that of [[LSD]], [[2C-B]] or [[2C-I]]. They can be comprehensively described as structured in their organization, organic in geometric style, intricate in complexity, large in size, slow and smooth in motion, colorful in scheme, glossy in color, equally blurred and sharp in its edges and equally rounded and angular in its corners. It gives off a contradictory natural and synthetic feel at higher dosages. While the geometry for 2C-C has yet to be formally confirmed, it seems more likely to result in states of [[Effect::8B Geometry|level 8B]] visual geometry over [[8A Geometry|level 8A]].
{{effects/transpersonal|


====Hallucinatory states====
*'''[[Effect::Unity and interconnectedness]]''' - In contrast to some other psychedelics, this effect does not typically occur except at very high doses.
2C-C produces a full range of high level hallucinatory states in a fashion that is more consistent and reproducible than that of many other commonly used psychedelics. This holds particularly true in comparison to other substances within the [[phenethylamines|phenethylamine]] family. These effects include:

===Combinational effects===


*'''[[Effect::Machinescapes]]'''
*'''[[Cannabis]]''' - Cannabis majorly intensifies and extends both the sensory and cognitive effects of 2C-C. Extreme caution should be exercised with this combination as it can also elevate the [[anxiety]], [[confusion]] and [[psychosis]] risk of cannabis.
*'''[[Effect::Transformations]]'''
*'''[[Dissociatives]]''' - When combined with dissociatives, the geometry, euphoria, dissociation and hallucinatory effects are often greatly enhanced. Dissociative-induced [[Visual_disconnection#Holes.2C_spaces_and_voids|holes, spaces, and voids]] while under the influence of 2C-C have significantly more vivid visuals than dissociatives alone. It also results in more intense [[internal hallucinations]] and corresponding [[confusion]] which can develop into [[delusions]] and [[psychosis]].
*'''[[Effect::Internal hallucinations]]''' (''[[Effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[Effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[Effect::alterations in perspective]]'' and ''[[Effect::scenarios and plots]]'') - In comparison to other psychedelics such as [[LSD]], 2C-C is extremely high in hallucinations embedded within visual geometry. This particular effect commonly contains hallucinations with scenarios, settings, concepts and autonomous entity contact. They are more common within dark environments and can be described as internal in their manifestation, lucid in believability, interactive in style and almost exclusively of a personal, religious, spiritual, science-fiction, fantasy, surreal, nonsensical or transcendental nature in their overall theme.
*'''[[Nitrous]]''' - Nitrous oxide is commonly used in combination with psychedelics. The two are known to possess powerful cross-synergistic effects, including the capacity to send the user directly into an [[ego death|"ego death"]] state. The speed and intensity with which this occurs is very rapid and the euphoria that can result often leads to the urge to [[compulsive redosing|compulsively redose]].
*'''[[Effect::External hallucinations]]''' (''[[Effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[Effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[Effect::alterations in perspective]]'' and ''[[Effect::scenarios and plots]]'') - 2C-C is capable of external hallucinations embedded within visual geometry. This particular effect commonly contains hallucinations with scenarios, settings, concepts and autonomous entity contact. They can be described as external in their manifestation, lucid in believability, interactive in style and almost exclusively of a personal, religious, spiritual, science-fiction, fantasy, surreal, nonsensical or transcendental nature in their overall theme.
*'''[[MDMA]]''' - When combined with MDMA, the physical and cognitive effects of 2C-C become strongly amplified. The visual, physical and cognitive effects of 2C-C are also intensified with strong sensations of euphoric pleasure manifested through distinct body highs and headspaces, and uniquely colorful visuals. The synergy between these substances is unpredictable, and it is best to start with markedly lower dosages than one would take for both substances individually. This combination may increase the neurotoxic effects of MDMA based on its similarity to LSD, which has been found to increase MDMA neurotoxicity.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Armstrong|first1=B.

*'''[[Alcohol]]''' - Alcohol can increase the disinhibiting and euphoric effects of 2C-C which lends to its use in recreational settings. It can be used in light doses to "take the edge off" a trip as well as dull its psychedelic effects in a fashion somewhat similar to benzodiazepines. However, this is not typically recommended due to alcohol’s ability to cause [[dehydration]] and [[nausea]] and [[physical fatigue]] which can negatively affect a trip if taken in moderate to high dosages. Heavy drinking is strongly discouraged as it can easily lead to black outs and unpredictable behavior.
*'''[[Benzodiazepines]]''' - Benzodiazepines can, depending on the dosage, slightly to completely reduce the intensity of the cognitive, physical and visual effects of a 2C-C trip. They are very efficient at stopping [[bad trip|"bad trips"]] at the cost of amnesia and reduced trip intensity. Caution is advised when acquiring them for this purpose due to their very high abuse and addiction potential.
*'''[[Psychedelics]]''' - When used in combination with other psychedelics, each substance's physical, cognitive and visual effects intensify and synergize strongly. The synergy between those substances is unpredictable, and for this reason generally not advised. If choosing to combine psychedelics, it is recommended to start with significantly lower dosages than one would take for either substance individually.

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 2C-C use do not appear to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact [[Toxicity::toxic dose is unknown]]. This is because 2C-C is a [[research chemical]] with a limited history of human use.

Anecdotal reports from those who have tried this compound suggest that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the substance by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (although nothing can be completely guaranteed). [https://www.google.com/ Independent research] should always be conducted to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption.

===Tolerance and addiction potential===
===Tolerance and addiction potential===
2C-C is [[Addiction potential::not habit-forming]] and the desire to use it can actually decrease with use. It is most often self-regulating.  
Although no formal studies have been conducted, it is not unreasonable to assume that like psychedelics in general, 2C-C is [[Addiction potential::not habit-forming]] and that the desire to use it can actually decrease with use.  


Tolerance to the effects of 2C-C are built [[Time to full tolerance::almost immediately after ingestion]]. After that, it takes about [[Time to half tolerance::3 days]] for the tolerance to be reduced to half and [[Time to zero tolerance::7 days]] to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). 2C-C presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all [[psychedelic]]s]], meaning that after the consumption of 2C-C all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.
Tolerance to the effects of 2C-C is not built almost immediately after ingestion. Similar to [[2C-B]] there seems to be no apparent tolerance buildup if used repeatedly for a few days. 2C-C does however produce cross-tolerance with other serotonergic psychedelics, meaning that after the use of 2C-C all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.
