Encyclopedia
2C-P is a psychedelic
phenethylamine
and 2C
compound first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin
.
-4-(n)-propyl
phenethylamine
. The full name of the chemical is 2-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-propylphenyl)ethanamine.
, Shulgin listed 2C-P's dosage range as 6-10 mg. 2C-P is one of the most potent compounds in the 2C family of psychedelics, rivaled only by 2C-TFM
. A consistent feature with 2C-P is a steep dose/response curve. As little as 1 to 2 mg can be the difference between moderate and enjoyable effects and excessive and frightening effects. Non-fatal overdose has occurred with as little as 12 milligrams and with at least one user 16 milligrams was "clearly an overdose, with the entire experiment labeled a physical disaster, not to be repeated."
, psychedelic
, and entheogen
ic effects including open eye visualizations and closed-eye visualizations. The drug has a very slow onset if ingested, and peak effects do not occur for 3 to 5 hours. A 2C-P experience can last anywhere between 10 to 16 hours, or even longer (up to 18 hours with a re-dose or supplemental dosages being taken after the initial dose) with higher doses between 16-20 milligrams as some users reported.
Many have reported that the effects of 2C-P are similar to other phenethylamines, especially 2C-E
, but are significantly longer lasting. Intense visionary experiences similar to those of LSD
have been reported, and many reports indicate that the effects of this particular chemical may be overwhelming for those not well experienced with psychedelics
