2C-T-2, or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylthio2C-T-7.

Dosage

In Erowid a threshold dose would be 5 mg, a light dose would range from 10-15 mg, a common dose is 16-32 mg and a strong dose would be considered to be 32-48 mg.

Effects

Effects are similar to the related bad trip in a club setting. There are no known reports of neurotoxicity currently, as 2C-T-2 is a research chemical. However, it is commonly assumed that it would have the same safety level of 2C-B (since research has been done on it). Effects can last between six and eight hours.

Pharmacology

The mechanism 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 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

The toxicity of 2C-T-2 is not well documented. 2C-T-2 is considerably less potent than 2C-T-7, but it may be expected that at higher doses it would display similar toxicity to that of other phenethylamines of the ecstasy or cocaine. It is also dangerous for a person who takes certain kinds of medication, OTC or prescription, to ingest 2C-T-2. Unfortunately not much is known about contraindications.

Law

After being sold under the name of Blue Mystic for some while in Dutch smartshops, the Netherlands became the first country in the world to ban 2C-T-2, and classify it as a hard drug, by law. In april, 1999, 2C-T-2 became a list I drug of the Opium Law.

2C-T-2 is unscheduled and uncontrolled in the United States, but possession and sales of 2C-T-2 would probably be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act because of its structural similarities to 2C-T-7.

2C-T-2 and all other compounds featured in PiHKAL are illegal drugs in the United Kingdom.
