2C-x
Revision as of 00:37, 27 October 2016 by >Dextromethorphan (→Examples)
2C-x is the general name for the family of synthetic phenethylamines originally studied by Alexander Shulgin. Shulgin first synthesized most of 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.

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 cognitive health problems.
Legal issues
- USA: In the US, most 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.[1]
- Australia: Australia has a blanket ban over all substituted phenethylamines including the entire 2C-X family.[2]
- Switzerland: 2C-B, 2C-I, 2C-T-2 and 2C-T-7 are illegal to possess, produce and sell.[3]
