'''2,5-Dimethoxyphenethylamine''' (also known as '''2C-H | '''2,5-Dimethoxyphenethylamine''' (also known as '''2C-H''') is a lesser-known psychoactive substance of the [[chemical class::phenethylamine]] class. 2C-H belongs to the [[2C-x]] family of substituted phenethylamines. However, it does not have any significant psychedelic properties and is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of other phenethylamines such as 2C-B, 2C-I, and 2C-N. | ||

The effects of 2C-H are reportedly inactive. Taking higher dosages could produce primarily stimulating in addition to empathogenic or hallucinogenic effects, in a fashion similar to those of its predecessor substance, [[phenethylamine]]. | |||

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

Anecdotal reports from those who have tried 2C-H suggests 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 (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).

It is strongly recommended that one use [[responsible drug use|harm reduction practices]], such as [[volumetric dosing]], when using this substance so as to ensure the accurate administration of the intended dose. | It is strongly recommended that one use [[responsible drug use|harm reduction practices]], such as [[volumetric dosing]], when using this substance so as to ensure the accurate administration of the intended dose. | ||

Although no formal studies have been conducted, it is not unreasonable to assume that as is the case with psychedelics in general, 2C-H is [[Addiction potential::not habit-forming]] and that the desire to use it can actually decrease with use. | Although no formal studies have been conducted, it is not unreasonable to assume that as is the case with psychedelics in general, 2C-H is [[Addiction potential::not habit-forming]] and that the desire to use it can actually decrease with use. However, it's stimulating properties do provide a possible risk of addiction which would be associated with other [[stimulants]]. | ||
Tolerance to the effects of 2C-H | Tolerance to the effects of 2C-H is built [[Time to full tolerance::almost immediately after ingestion]]. After that, it takes about [[Time to half tolerance::3-5 days]] for the tolerance to be reduced to half and [[Time to zero tolerance::7-10 days]] to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). 2C-H may present cross-tolerance, although unlikely, with [[Cross-tolerance::all [[psychedelic]]s]], meaning that after the consumption of 2C-H all psychedelics will have a reduced effect. It may also produce tolerance to stimulants as well. | ||
