Interactions

2C-C (2,5-Dimethoxy-4-chlorophenethylamine) is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C-x family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and described in his 1991 book PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story.

In modern times it is used as a recreational drug and an entheogen, rarely sold on the streets and almost exclusively obtained as a grey area research chemical through the use of online vendors.

Many users report that 2C-C is gentler and more sedating than other closely related psychedelic phenethylamines.

Chemistry

2C-C is a substituted phenethylamine with methoxy groups attached to carbons R₂ and R₅ as well as a chlorine attached to carbon R4.

Pharmacology

Main article: Serotonergic psychedelic

2C-C's psychedelic effects are believed 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.

DO NOT TRUST THE DESCRIPTION BELOW IT IS MERELY A PRELIMINARY THINGY

The effects listed below are based upon the subjective effects index and personal experiences of PsychonautWiki contributors. The listed effects will rarely if ever occur all at once but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.

Physical effects

The physical effects of 2C-C can be broken down into five components all of which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. These are described below and generally include:

• Spontaneous tactile sensations - The body high of 2C-C is manifested as one of the most proportionally intense in comparison to almost all of the classical psychedelics. This is something which is only beaten in terms of its overwhelming forcefulness by high dose AMT and 5-MeO-DMT experiences. The sensation itself can be described as an intense and slightly uncomfortable energetic pins and needles sensation that constantly encompasses a person’s entire body. It is usually felt over every square inch of the skin but occasionally manifests itself in the form of a continuously shifting tingling sensation that travels up and down the body in spontaneous waves. Alongside of this, many users commonly report that the body high can be particularly uncomfortable and sometimes accompanied by urges to shift the position of one's body and prolonged tensing of unusual combinations of muscle groups.
• Stimulation - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the tripper, 2C-C is usually considered to be very energetic and stimulating in a fashion that is quite comparable to that of MDMA.
• Bodily control enhancement
• Tactile enhancement
• Nausea - Mild to extreme nausea is consistently 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.
• Temperature regulation loss

Cognitive effects

The head space of 2C-C 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:

• Introspection - This component is consistently manifested only in the context of a non-social setting in which the user is alone.
• Empathy, love and sociability enhancement - This component is consistently manifested only in the context of social settings in which one is within the company of others. These feelings of sociability, love and empathy are a little weaker and less sharp than those found on substances such as MDMA and 2C-B but still prove strong enough to provide long lasting therapeutic effects.
• Thought acceleration
• Time distortion
• Feelings of fascination, importance and awe
• Sexual arousal
• Conceptual thinking
• Thought connectivity
• Current mind state enhancement
• Removal of cultural filter
• Ego suppression, loss and death

Visual effects

Enhancements

2C-C presents a full and complete array of possible visual enhancements which generally includes:

• Visual acuity enhancement
• Colour enhancement
• Pattern recognition enhancement

Distortions

2C-C presents a full and complete array of possible visual distortions which generally includes:

• 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 unrealistic/cartoon-like in style.
• 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 in size, fast and smooth in motion, colourful in scheme, glossy in colour, sharp in their edges and equally rounded and angular in their corners. They give off a contradictory natural and synthetic feel to them that at higher dosages are significantly more likely to result in states of Level 8B visual geometry over Level 8A.

Hallucinatory states

2C-C 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 the phenethylamine family. These effects include:

• External hallucinations
• Internal hallucinations - In comparison to other psychedelics such as LSD, 2C-C is extremely high in hallucinations embedded within visual geometry. This particular effect commonly contains hallucinations with scenarios, settings, concepts and autonomous entity contact. They are more common within dark environments and can be described as internal in their manifestation, lucid in believability, interactive in style and almost exclusively of religious, spiritual, mystical or a transcendental nature in their overall theme.

Auditory effects

The auditory effects of 2C-C are common in their occurrence and exhibit a full range of effects which commonly include:

• Enhancements
• Distortions
• Hallucinations

Toxicity and Harm Potential

Lethal Dosage

The toxicity and long term health effects of recreational 2C-C use does not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. This is because 2C-C is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried 2C-C within the psychedelic community suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying this drug at low to moderate doses or using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).

Tolerance and Addiction Potential

2C-C does not seem to be physically addictive and many users experience a self-regulating quality. There seems to be a tolerance build up when used consecutively multiple days in a row which could lead to a diminished experience. However, this effect is nearly non-existent when spaced 5-7 days apart.

Legal Issues

• United States: 2C-C is listed in schedule I of section 202(c) of the Controlled Substances Act in the United States, signed into law as of July, 2012 under the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act.
• United Kingdom: 2C-C is a class A controlled substance as it is covered by the phenethylamine derivatives clause of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
• Sweden: 2C-C is classified as "health hazard" as of March 1, 2005 in their regulation SFS 2005:26, making it illegal to sell or possess.
• Japan: 2C-C is controlled by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law in Japan, making it illegal to possess or sell.
