2C-P: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

'''2,5-Dimethoxy-4-propylphenethylamine''' (also known as '''2C-P''') is a lesser-known [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] of the [[chemical class::phenethylamine]] class. 2C-P is a relatively obscure member of the [[2C-x]] family of psychedelic phenethylamines and is known to be one of the most potent, long-lasting, and dose-sensitive of the series.

2C-P was first synthesized and tested for human activity by [[Alexander Shulgin]], who documented his findings in the 1991 book [[PiHKAL]] ("Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved")<ref>https://erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal.shtml | [[PiHKAL]] </ref>. The reports found in the 2C-P PiHKAL entry remark on its depth and long onset and duration of action, with the commentary section describing 16 mg as a clear overdose with physical consequences. The commentary also notes the small window separating an adequate dose from an excessive dose, suggesting it is relatively easy to overdose on.

User reports following the publication of PiHKAL tend to characterize 2C-P in terms of its unusually long duration, powerful, sometimes overwhelming visuals, and intense "body load" (such as persisting [[nausea]], [[muscle tension]] and general bodily discomfort). 2C-P's head space and visuals have been described as possessing more similarities to alkylated 2C's like [[2C-E]] than halogenated members like [[2C-B]] or [[2C-I]]. Some reports suggest it may be easier to experience agitation and delirium on 2C-P than other 2C's, perhaps owing to the ease in which it can be mishandled. As a result, it is considered to have a relatively questionable safety profile for a psychedelic.

Due its powerful effects and unusually long duration, 2C-P may be overly intense and difficult to use safely for those who are not already experienced with [[hallucinogens]]. It is strongly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance. Dosing practices like "eye-balling" (i.e. using the naked eye instead of a reliable milligram scale) or non-oral [[routes of administration]] should especially be avoided.
