'''2-Fluoroamphetamine''' ('''2-FA''') is a synthetic ring-substituted fluorinated [[chemical class::amphetamine]] compound that is commonly reported to be capable of producing classical [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] effects that are often compared to those produced by [[amphetamine|dextroamphetamine]] in duration, potency and potential effectiveness as a study aid or productivity enhancer.<ref>http://drugs.tripsit.me/2-fa | Tripsit Factsheets - 2FA</ref> It is one part of a series of modern [[designer drug|designer fluorinated amphetamine analogs]] that includes synthetic compounds like [[2-FMA]], [[3-FA]], [[3-FEA]] and [[4-FA]] which are known for their range of [[stimulant|stimulating]] and [[euphoria|euphoric]] effects, many of which have been gaining popularity as [[research chemical]] substitutes for classical street [[stimulant]]s.{{citation needed}} Of these, 2-FA is considered to be most [[amphetamine]]-like in its core properties and effects, with the exception of an apparent "dose ceiling" that is purportedly capable of discouraging abuse relative to other stimulants as well as conferring on it [[nootropic]] properties.{{citation needed}}

2-FA is commonly taken orally in line with the prescribed usage instruction of stimulants used to treat ADHD. While capable of being taken via [[~~routes of administration|~~insufflation]] or vaporization, this has been reported to be highly unpleasant and toxic-feeling compared to its parent compound. Despite its popularity as a research chemical study aid, little is known about the potential toxicological effects that accompany its long-term use as a substitute for prescribed stimulants.
