Chemistry[edit | edit source]
2C-T-16 is a member of the 2C family of phenethylamines which are known for their psychedelic effects. The full chemical name of 2C-T-16 is 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(2-fluoroethylthio)phenethylamine. The drug has a molecular structure similar to other drugs in the 2C family, with the distinguishing feature being the presence of a fluoroethylthio group at the 4th position of the phenyl ring.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The exact mechanism of action of 2C-T-16 is not fully understood. However, like other 2C drugs, it is believed to work primarily by acting as an agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is involved in the regulation of mood, anxiety, and perception.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 2C-T-16 are similar to other psychedelic phenethylamines and can include visual hallucinations, enhanced sensory perception, and altered thought patterns. The duration of effects can vary, but typically last between 4 and 8 hours.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of 2C-T-16 varies by country. In the United States, it is not specifically listed as a controlled substance, but it could potentially be considered an analog of other controlled 2C substances under the Federal Analogue Act.
