2C-T-15 is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and described in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved).

Chemical structure[edit | edit source]

2C-T-15 is a member of the 2C family, which are characterized by a phenethylamine backbone with methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions of the benzene ring. The "T" in 2C-T-15 indicates the presence of a thioether group at the 4 position. The full chemical name is 2-[4-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)thian-3-yl]ethanamine.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

2C-T-15 acts as a serotonin receptor agonist, primarily affecting the 5-HT2A receptor. This action is responsible for its psychedelic effects, which can include alterations in perception, mood, and cognition. The exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve modulation of serotonin pathways in the brain.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of 2C-T-15 are similar to other psychedelics in the 2C family. Users report visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in thought patterns, and an altered sense of time. The intensity and duration of effects can vary depending on the dose and individual sensitivity.

Legal status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of 2C-T-15 varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance, while in others it may be legal or unregulated. It is important to be aware of local laws before possessing or using 2C-T-15.

Safety and toxicity[edit | edit source]

As with many research chemicals, the safety profile of 2C-T-15 is not well-established. There is limited data on its toxicity, potential for addiction, and long-term effects. Users should exercise caution and be aware of the potential risks associated with its use.
