'''2C-D''' ('''2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenethylamine''') is a synthetically produced [[psychoactive]] drug usually sold by online research chemical vendors. The substance itself is classed as a psychedelic [[Phenethylamines|phenethylamine]] of the [[2C-x]] family and was first synthesized in 1970 by a team from the Texas Research Institute of Mental Sciences.<ref>Amphetamine analogs. II. Methylated phenethylamines | http://www.pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jm00295a034</ref> It was described and investigated by humans in Shulgin’s 1991 book [[PiHKAL]]: A Chemical Love Story. In his book, Shulgin lists the dosage range as being from 20 to 60 mg with many people recommending higher doses. | '''2C-D''' ('''2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenethylamine''') is a synthetically produced [[psychoactive]] drug usually sold by online [[research chemical]] vendors.

The drug is used recreationally for its [[psychedelic]] and [[entactogenic]] effects. Shulgin himself referred to this substance as a “pharmacological tofu,” meaning that when mixed with other substances, it can extend or potentiate their effects without coloring the experience too much. 2C-D is generally taken orally, though it may be insufflated. Insufflating tends to cause intense pain, however, and the dosage level is usually much lower. Lower doses (generally 10 mg or less) of 2C-D have been explored as a potential nootropic, albeit with mixed results. | The drug is used recreationally for its [[psychedelic]] and [[entactogenic]] effects.

The toxicity and long term health effects of recreational 2C-D use | The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 2C-D use have not been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. This is because 2C-D is a [[research chemical]] with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried 2C-D within the psychonaut community suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the drug by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed). [https://www.google.com/ Independent research] should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption. | ||
===Tolerance and | It is strongly recommended that one use [[responsible use|harm reduction practices]] when using this drug. | ||
===Tolerance and addiction potential=== | |||
2C-D does not seem to be physically addictive and many users experience a self-regulating quality. There seems to be a tolerance build up when used consecutively multiple days in a row which could lead to a diminished experience. However, this effect is nearly non-existent when spaced 5-7 days apart. | 2C-D does not seem to be physically addictive and many users experience a self-regulating quality.
