The 2C family includes various substances, each with unique effects and properties, often used in research and recreational contexts. Members of the 2C family, such as 2C-B and 2C-I, are known for their psychedelic effects. They can alter perception, mood, and cognition, making them of interest in both therapeutic and recreational settings. However, their legal status varies by country, and they can pose risks if misused.
