Anecdotal reports tend to characterize 2C-T-2 as a highly dose sensitive psychedelic known for its strong visuals and unpredictably intense body load. | Anecdotal reports tend to characterize 2C-T-2 as a highly dose sensitive psychedelic known for its strong visuals and unpredictably intense body load. | ||
Following the initial positive results found by Shulgin's research group, a more formal study was carried out by psychedelic psychotherapy pioneer by 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 favourably to [[MDMA]], describing it as more emotionally opening and permitting a wider exploration of feelings and thoughts. Although presenting a very positive evaluation of the drug, Stolaroff also noted that because it permitted repressed feelings to surface more readily than MDMA, the experience could be uncomfortable for some users. | |||
Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 2C-T-2, and it has little history of human usage. Many reports also indicate that the physical effects are too severe for those who are not already experienced with [[psychedelics]] or suffer from pre-existing physical conditions as it is known to cause powerful [[nausea]] and general bodily discomfort that may dominate the rest of the experience. It is highly advised to approach this potent, physically unpredictable, and long-lived [[psychedelic]] substance with the proper amount of precaution and [[harm reduction practices]] if choosing to use it. | Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 2C-T-2, and it has little history of human usage.
