'''2C-B''' or '''2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromophenethylamine''' is a [[psychedelic]] drug of the [[2C-x family]]. It was first synthesized by [[Alexander Shulgin]] in 1974. In Shulgin's book, PiHKAL, the dosage range is listed as 16–24 mg. 2C-B is sold as a white powder sometimes pressed in tablets or gel caps and is referred to on the street as 'Rusko', 'Spectrum', 'Venus', 'B's', 'CB's', or 'Nexus'. The drug is usually taken orally, but can also be insufflated or vaporized.

==Toxicity and Harm Potential==

The toxicity and long term health effects of recreational 2C-B use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. This is because 2C-B is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried 2C-B within the [[psychedelic]] community suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying this drug at low to moderate doses ~~or using it very sparingly~~ but nothing can be completely guaranteed.

===Lethal Dosage===

There is no current data for the LD<sub>50</sub> of 2C-B, but it is thought to be considerably higher than the active dosage. Alexander Shulgin reported a 100 mg oral dose taken without apparent harm.<ref> "Shulgin, A (1991) ''PIHKAL''" | http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal020.shtml</ref>
