2C-x

2C-x is the general name for the family of synthetic phenethylamines originally discovered by Alexander Shulgin. Shulgin first synthesized the 2C-x chemicals in the 1970s and later published his findings in his book PiHKAL. The 2C-x chemicals vary in effect from being totally inactive to fully psychoactive.

Examples

• 2C-B
• 2C-C
• 2C-D
• 2C-E
• 2C-I
• 2C-P

Health effects, potential addiction and tolerance

The 2C-x chemicals, as with many other serotonergic psychedelics, should not be taken in combination with SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) or Tricyclic Antidepressants in general to avoid Serotonin Syndrome, a potentially life threatening condition in which an abundance of Serotonin is built up the body, causing many physical and congnitive health problems.

Please remember to always practice drug safety and check for potentially dangerous interactions when dealing with chemicals like these.

Legal issues

• USA: all of the 2C-x chemicals are Schedule I under the American Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act of 2012 and the Federal Analog Act.
