From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

2C-G is a psychedelic drug of the 2C family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, and later reported in his book PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story.

History[edit | edit source]

2C-G was first synthesized and tested for psychoactivity by Alexander Shulgin in 1965. The detailed synthesis and effects are described in his book PiHKAL.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

2C-G is a phenethylamine, a class of compounds that includes many psychoactive drugs. Its full chemical name is 2,5-dimethoxy-3,4-dimethylphenethylamine. It is structurally related to other psychedelic phenethylamines such as 2C-B and 2C-I.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Like other 2C drugs, 2C-G is believed to act primarily as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist. This receptor is involved in the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which plays a role in regulating mood, appetite, sleep, and other functions.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of 2C-G are similar to those of other psychedelic drugs. They can include visual hallucinations, altered thought processes, and heightened emotions. The duration of effects is typically longer than that of other 2C drugs, often lasting 18 to 24 hours.

Legal status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of 2C-G varies by country. In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal to manufacture, distribute, or possess.
