2C-T-22
A synthetic psychedelic compound
2C-T-22 is a synthetic psychedelic compound belonging to the 2C family of phenethylamines. It was first synthesized by the chemist Alexander Shulgin and is documented in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved).
Chemical Structure and Properties[edit | edit source]
2C-T-22 is chemically classified as a phenethylamine, with the full chemical name 2-[4-(Ethylthio)-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl]ethanamine. It features a phenyl ring with two methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions, an ethylthio group at the 4 position, and an ethanamine chain. This structure is similar to other compounds in the 2C series, such as 2C-T-7 and 2C-T-2.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The pharmacological effects of 2C-T-22 are not well-documented, as it has not been extensively studied in humans or animals. However, it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other 2C compounds. Users have reported psychedelic effects, including altered perception, mood, and cognition.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 2C-T-22 are primarily psychedelic and can include:
- Visual and auditory hallucinations
- Altered sense of time and space
- Enhanced emotional experiences
- Increased introspection
The onset of effects typically occurs within 30 to 60 minutes after oral administration, with the duration lasting approximately 6 to 10 hours.
Safety and Toxicity[edit | edit source]
Due to the lack of research, the safety profile of 2C-T-22 is not well understood. As with other psychedelics, there is a potential for psychological distress, including anxiety and paranoia. There is also a risk of physical side effects, such as increased heart rate and blood pressure.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
2C-T-22 is not specifically scheduled under the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances, but it may be considered illegal in some jurisdictions under analogue laws. It is important to check local regulations before acquiring or using this substance.
History and Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
2C-T-22 was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, who included it in his book PiHKAL. It has not gained significant popularity or cultural impact compared to other psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin.
