3C-E: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

'''3,5-Dimethoxy-4-ethoxyamphetamine''' (commonly known as '''3C-E''' or '''3C-Escaline''') is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::psychedelic]] compound of the [[chemical class::amphetamine|substituted amphetamine]] chemical class. Although it's name suggests it may be related to the [[2C-x]] family, this is not the case since it is the 3-Carbon analog of [[escaline]]

Today, 3C-E is used as a [[recreational drug use|recreational drug]] and an [[entheogen]], probably non-existent on the streets and rarely found ~~on grey~~ area [[research chemical]] vendors. Very little is known about ~~it's~~ effects besides its strong body high and weak visuals. It was presumably first synthesized by [[Alexander Shulgin]] and published in his book [[PiHKAL]] in 1991.

Today, 3C-E is used as a [[recreational drug use|recreational drug]] and an [[entheogen]], probably non-existent on the streets and rarely found at gray area [[research chemical]] vendors. Very little is known about its effects besides its strong body high and weak visuals. It was presumably first synthesized by [[Alexander Shulgin]] and published in his book [[PiHKAL]] in 1991.

Many reports also suggest that this substance may be overly difficult to use safely for those who are not already very experienced with [[hallucinogens]]. Therefore it is highly advised to approach this substance with the proper amount of precaution and [[harm reduction practices]] if choosing to use it.

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the user, 3C-E is usually considered to be extremely stimulating at levels which are capable of ~~become~~ uncomfortable and overwhelming. This can result in a shakiness and unsteadiness of the hands but encouraging one to move around, run, dance, climb and ~~generally~~ engage in physical activities. In comparison, other more commonly used psychedelics such as [[psilocin]] are ~~generally~~ sedating and relaxed.

In comparison, other more commonly used psychedelics such as [[psilocin]] are sedating and relaxed.

*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous physical sensations]]''' - The "body high" of 3C-E is manifested as somewhat intense in comparison to most classical psychedelics such as [[LSD]]. The sensation itself can be described as a constantly present yet somewhat mild energetic pins and needles sensation that encompasses a person’s entire body. It is usually felt over every square inch of the skin, but occasionally manifests itself in the form of a continuously shifting tingling sensation that travels up and down the body in spontaneous waves. Some reports also suggest the body high of 3C-E is very challenging even at lower dosages.

**'''[[Effect::Physical euphoria]]''' - It should be noted that this effect is not as reliably induceable as it is with substances like stimulants or entactogens, and can just as easily manifest as physical discomfort without any apparent reason.

Line 30:

*'''[[Effect::Tactile enhancement]]''' - Feelings of enhanced tactile sensation are consistently present at low to moderate levels throughout most 3C-E experiences.

*'''[[Effect::Nausea]]''' - Mild to extreme nausea is reported when consumed in moderate to high dosages and either passes once the person has vomited or gradually fades by itself as the peak sets in.

*'''[[Effect::Vasoconstriction]]''' - This effect is usually only present at higher dosages, but can be particularly uncomfortable when it manifests, and may persist throughout the main duration of the experience. [[not sure]]

====[[Effect::Geometry]]====

The visual geometry that is present throughout this trip can be described as more similar in appearance to that of [[DOC]] or [[mescaline]][[?]] than that of [[2C-B]], [[psilocin]] or [[LSD]]. It can be comprehensively described through its [[Visual_effects:_Geometry#Variations|variations]] as intricate in complexity, abstract in form, organic in feel, structured in organization, brightly lit, multicolored in scheme, glossy in shading, sharp in edges, large in size, fast in speed, smooth in motion, equally rounded and angular in its corners, non-immersive in depth and consistent in intensity. At higher dosages, this geometry is significantly more likely to result in states of [[Effect::8B Geometry|level 8B]] visual geometry over [[8A Geometry|level 8A]]. [[cant comment on 8a or 8b-geometry]] [[anyone else think the geometry is very similar to DOC?]]

*'''[[Effect::Synaesthesia]]''' - In its fullest manifestation, this is a very rare and non-reproducible effect. Increasing the dosage can increase the likelihood of this occurring, but seems to ~~only~~ be a prominent part of the experience among those who are already predisposed to synaesthetic states.

===Tolerance and addiction potential===

3C-E is [[Addiction potential::not habit-forming]] and the desire to use it can actually decrease with use. It is most often self-regulating.

Tolerance to the effects of 3C-E ~~are~~ built [[Time to full tolerance::almost immediately after ingestion]]. After that, it takes about [[Time to half tolerance::3 days]] for the tolerance to be reduced to half and [[Time to zero tolerance::7 days]] to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). 3C-E presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all [[psychedelic]]s]], meaning that after the consumption of 3C-E all psychedelics will have a reduced effect. [[Not sure about this one since amphetamine psychedelics like 2c-b, 2c-e and DOC (or 2c-p after ~300-400ug Lsd)~~dont~~ build an immediate tolerance, if even any at all]]
