2C-T-7

Serious injury or death may occur if 2C-T-7 is insufflated or combined with certain substances and medications (e.g. MAOIs or RIMAs) It is strongly discouraged to insufflate (snort), eyeball, administer non-orally, or combine this substance with certain other substances. Please see this section for more details.

Summary sheet: 2C-T-7

2,5-dimethoxy-4-propylthiophenethylamine (abbreviated 2C-T-7; also known as Blue Mystic and 7th Heaven among others) is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C-x family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and documented in his book PiHKAL ("Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved"). This particular substance is part of the so-called "magical half-dozen" which refers to Shulgin's self-rated most important phenethylamine compounds, all of which -- with the exception of mescaline -- he developed, synthesized and tested on himself. They can be found within the first book of PiHKAL, and are as follows: Mescaline, DOM, 2C-B, 2C-E, 2C-T-2 and 2C-T-7.

2C-T-7 is considered by the community as a highly unpredictable dose sensitive psychedelic that has gained a reputation for its strong, potentially blinding visuals and intense body load that can manifest as fever-like delirium in extreme cases. 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, body temperature disregulation, and general bodily discomfort.

For this reason, it is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when choosing to experiment with this substance.

Chemistry

Generic structure of a phenethylamine molecule

2C-T-7, or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-propylthiophenethylamine, is a substituted phenethylamine featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH₂) group through an ethyl chain.

2C-T-7 belongs to the 2C family of phenethylamines, which contain methoxy functional groups CH₃O- attached to carbons R₂ and R₅ of the benzene ring. 2C-T-7 is also substituted at R₄ with a propyl thioether group.

2C-T-7 is analogous to 2C-T-2; the two differ by the length of the alkane chain in their thioether functional group.

Pharmacology

Further information: Serotonergic psychedelic

2C-T-7's psychedelic effects have been shown to come from its efficacy at the 5-HT_2A receptor as a partial agonist. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.

As the 2,5-desmethoxy derivative of 2C-T-7 has been shown to be a moderate monoamine oxidase An inhibitor, this substance is widely thought to have MAOI effects.

Subjective effects

Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.

It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.

Physical effects

• Stimulation - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the tripper 2C-T-7 is usually considered to be very energetic and stimulating in a fashion that is quite comparable to that of other phenethylamines such as 2C-B, 2C-E and 2C-P.
• Bodily control enhancement - Although this component is capable of manifesting itself in a distinct and noticeable fashion, for most users it does not generally seem to be as apparent or intense as the same component found within LSD and 2C-B.
• Changes in felt bodily form
• Tactile enhancement
• Excessive yawning
• Spatial disorientation
• Pupil dilation
• Watery eyes

Uncomfortable physical side effects

• Abnormal heartbeat
• Dehydration
• Diarrhea
• Difficulty urinating or Frequent urination
• Dizziness
• Headaches
• Increased blood pressure
• Increased bodily temperature
• Increased heart rate
• Increased perspiration
• Muscle contractions
• Muscle spasms
• Muscle cramps
• Nausea - Mild to extreme nausea is commonly reported when consumed in moderate to high dosages, and either passes once the tripper has vomited or gradually fades by itself as the peak sets in.
• Stomach bloating
• Stomach cramps
• Teeth grinding
• Temperature regulation suppression

Tactile effects

• Spontaneous physical sensations - The "body high" of 2C-T-7 is intense, but in comparison to 2C-E or 2C-B, it can be considered mild though is still capable of becoming very powerful and highly physically euphoric. It is similar yet distinct from the "body high" experienced on 2C-E, 2C-B, and LSD. The sensation itself can be described as intense and will manifest itself in the form of a continuously shifting tingling sensation that travels up and down the body in spontaneous waves.
• Tactile enhancement
• Tactile hallucinations

Cognitive effects

The head space of 2C-T-7 is described by many as one which is both insightful and relatively normal in its thought processes even at moderate to high dosages.

The total sum of these cognitive components regardless of the setting generally includes:

• Emotionality enhancement
• Thought acceleration
• Novelty enhancement
• Time distortion
• Increased music appreciation
• Analysis enhancement
• Personal bias suppression
• Conceptual thinking
• Memory suppression
  • Ego death
• Immersion enhancement
• Thought loops
• Feelings of interdependent opposites
• Delusions
• Unity and interconnectedness
• Wakefulness

Visual effects

Enhancements

• Visual acuity enhancement
• Colour enhancement
• Pattern recognition enhancement

Distortions

• Drifting (melting, flowing, breathing and morphing) - In comparison to other psychedelics, this effect can be described as highly detailed, slow and smooth in motion, static in appearance and extremely realistic in style but with a subtle digital/cartoonish form.
• Tracers
• After images
• Symmetrical texture repetition
• Colour shifting
• Scenery slicing

Geometry

The visual geometry that is present throughout this trip can be described as more similar in appearance to that of 4-AcO-DMT or ayahuasca than that of LSD, 2C-B or 2C-I. They can be comprehensively described as structured in their organization, organic in geometric style, intricate in complexity, large, fast and smooth in motion, colorful in scheme, glossy in color, sharp in their edges and equally rounded and angular in their corners. It gives off a contradictory natural and synthetic feel with slightly more mystical and shamanic undertones in comparison to other phenethylamines. At higher dosages, they are equally likely to result in states of Level 8A visual geometry or Level 8B. There seems to be a visual geometry that is extremely similar to 2C-E and 2C-P and can be described as equal in intensity or complexity and equal in proportion to the accompanying cognitive and physical effects.

Hallucinatory states

2C-T-7 produces a full range of high level hallucinatory states in a fashion that is more consistent and reproducible than that of many other commonly used psychedelics. This holds particularly true in comparison to other substances within the phenethylamine family. These effects include:

• Transformations
• Internal hallucinations (autonomous entities; settings, sceneries, and landscapes; alterations in perspective and scenarios and plots) - This effect is very consistent in dark environments at appropriately high dosages. They can be comprehensively described through their variations as lucid in believability, interactive in style, new experiences in content, autonomous in controllability, geometry-based in style and almost exclusively of a personal, religious, spiritual, science-fiction, fantasy, surreal, nonsensical or transcendental nature in their overall theme.

Auditory effects

• Enhancements
• Distortions
• Hallucinations

Potentially dangerous interactions

If 2C-T-7 does have MAOI effects as commonly speculated, this could indicate that 2C-T-7 is more likely to induce serotonin syndrome or general neurotransmitter overload (especially at high dosages) than other serotonergic psychedelics. This may make it dangerous to combine it with other MAOIs, stimulants and certain substances which releases neurotransmitters such as serotonin or dopamine. These substances include but are not limited to:

5-MeO-MiPT 2-C-T-7 AMT Ayahuasca Harmala alkaloids 2-AI 2-FMA 3-FPM 4-FA A-PVP Amphetamine Cocaine Ethylphenidate

Dehydroxyfluorafinil Isopropylphenidate MDAI MDMA Mephedrone Methamphetamine Methiopropamine Methylone Methylphenidate Modafinil Nicotine NM-2-AI Noopept

Toxicity and harm potential

Further information: Research chemicals § Toxicity and harm potential, and Responsible use § Hallucinogens

There have been at least three reported deaths related to 2C-T-7 use as of August 2007, mainly at insufflated doses of 30 mg or more or combined with stimulants such as MDMA, as well as a number of very uncomfortably intense effects and hospitalizations due to the insufflation of 2C-T-7.

It is strongly discouraged to administer 2C-T-7 non-orally because this can cause vomiting, numerous negative side effects, or death at high doses. In Erowid's Fall 2000 2C-T-7 survey, it was reported that the insufflation of 2C-T-7 resulted in more negative side effects than oral administration.

It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices, such as volumetric dosing, when using this substance to ensure the administration of the intended dose.

Tolerance and addiction potential

2C-T-7 is 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 2C-T-7 are built almost immediately after ingestion. After that, it takes about 3 days for the tolerance to be reduced to half and 7 days to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). 2C-T-7 presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all psychedelics]], meaning that after the consumption of 2C-T-7 all psychedelics will have a reduced effect.
