2C-T-2

2C-T-2 is a psychedelic and entactogenic phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized in 1981 by Alexander Shulgin, and rated by him as one of the "magical half-dozen" most important psychedelic phenethylamine compounds.[1][2] The drug has structural and pharmacodynamic properties similar to those of 2C-T-7 ("Blue Mystic").

Dosage

In Alexander Shulgin's book PiHKAL, the dosage range is listed as 12 to 25 mg.[2]

Pharmacology

The mechanism of action that produces 2C-T-2’s hallucinogenic and entheogenic effects has not been specifically established, however it is most likely to result from action as a 5-HT2A serotonin receptor agonist in the brain, a mechanism of action shared by all of the hallucinogenic tryptamines and phenethylamines for which the mechanism of action is known.

Dangers

There are no known reports of neurotoxicity, but very little scientific knowledge exists for 2C-T-2. All confirmed fatalities involving 2C-T drugs involve high doses taken by the nasal route or dangerous combinations with stimulant and depressant drugs such as alcohol, MDMA, and cocaine.
