It is known for its hallucinogenic effects and is often used recreationally. 2C is chemically similar to other substances in the 2C family, such as 2C-B and 2C-I, which also produce altered states of consciousness.
The compound was first synthesized in the 1970s by Alexander Shulgin, a prominent figure in the study of psychoactive substances. 2C is typically consumed in small doses, and its effects can include visual distortions, enhanced sensory perception, and changes in mood. Due to its psychoactive properties, 2C is classified as a controlled substance in many countries.
