'''2,5-Dimethoxy-4-propylphenethylamine''' (also known as '''2C-P''') is a lesser-known novel [[Psychoactive class::psychedelic]] substance of the [[chemical class::phenethylamine]] class. 2C-P is a relatively obscure member of the [[2C-x]] family of psychedelic phenethylamines, which are closely related to the classical psychedelic [[mescaline]]. It is known as 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 the effects of 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~~.

[[Subjective effects]] include [[geometry|open and closed-eye visuals]], [[time distortion]], [[euphoria]], and [[ego loss]]. User reports tend to characterize the effects of 2C-P in terms of its unusually long duration, powerful, sometimes overwhelming visuals, and intense "body load" (e.g. [[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 misdosed. As a result, it is considered to have an unfavorable safety profile.

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~~. [[Volumetric liquid dosing]] is commonly recommended when dealing with substances of this potency.
