Following the initial positive results found by Shulgin's research group, a more formal study was carried out by psychedelic psychotherapy pioneer Myron J. Stolaroff who was interested in evaluating the potential use of 2C-T-2 in psychotherapy.<ref>Stolaroff, MJ; Wells, C. Preliminary results with new psychoactive agents 2C-T-2 and 2C-T-7. In Jahrbuch für Ethnomedizin und Bewußtseinsforschung (Yearbook of Ethnomedicine and the Study of Consciousness); Rätsch, C; Baker, J, Eds., 1993; Vol. 2, pp 99–117. (MAPS.org) | http://www.maps.org/images/pdf/1993_stolaroff_1.pdf</ref> Based on the experiences of forty participants in the study who took 2C-T-2, Stolaroff compared the effects favorably to [[MDMA]], describing it as more emotionally opening and permitting a wider exploration of feelings and thoughts. | |||
