'''Substituted dimethoxyphenethylamines''' (also known as '''2C-''x''''') is the general name for the family of psychedelic [[phenethylamines]] originally studied by [[Alexander Shulgin]]. Shulgin first synthesized most of the 2C-''x'' chemicals in the 1970s and later published his findings in his book [[PiHKAL]]. The 2C-''x'' chemicals vary in effect from being totally inactive to fully [[psychedelic]]. Some of the most popular members of this group include [[2C-B]], [[2C-E]], and [[2C-I]]. | '''Substituted dimethoxyphenethylamines''' (also known as '''2C-''x''''') is the general name for the family of psychedelic [[phenethylamines]] originally studied by [[Alexander Shulgin]].
