2C-P is a psychedelic drug and substituted phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin.
History[edit | edit source]
2C-P was first synthesized and documented by Alexander Shulgin in his book PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story. Shulgin classified 2C-P as a member of the "magical half-dozen" of psychedelic 2C drugs.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
2C-P is a substituted phenethylamine featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain. It is structurally similar to other drugs in the 2C family, such as 2C-B and 2C-I.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The exact mechanism of action for 2C-P is not well understood, but it is believed to work primarily by acting as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelic drugs.

2C-P's effects are typically long-lasting, ranging from 10 to 20 hours. The onset of effects usually occurs within 2 to 4 hours after ingestion. Effects can include intense visuals, time distortion, enhanced introspection, and euphoria.

The legal status of 2C-P varies by country. In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act.
