From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

A synthetic psychedelic compound



2C-T-33 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-33 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 (–OCH₃) at the 2 and 5 positions, and an ethylthio group (–SC₂H₅) at the 4 position. The ethylthio group is a distinguishing feature of the 2C-T series, which includes other compounds such as 2C-T-2 and 2C-T-7.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The pharmacological effects of 2C-T-33 are not well-documented, but it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other compounds in the 2C family. This action is thought to be responsible for its psychedelic effects, which may include alterations in perception, mood, and cognition.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of 2C-T-33 are largely anecdotal, as there is limited scientific research on this compound. Users have reported experiencing visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in thought patterns, and altered states of consciousness. The duration of effects is typically reported to last between 6 to 10 hours, with a gradual onset and offset.

Safety and toxicity[edit | edit source]

Due to the lack of research, the safety profile of 2C-T-33 is not well understood. As with other research chemicals, there is a potential for adverse effects, and caution is advised. Users should be aware of the potential for serotonin syndrome when combining serotonergic substances.

Legal status[edit | edit source]

2C-T-33 is not specifically scheduled under the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances, but it may be considered an analogue of other controlled substances in some jurisdictions, subject to analogue laws.

History[edit | edit source]

2C-T-33 was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, who included it in his book PiHKAL. It is one of many compounds in the 2C-T series that Shulgin explored for their psychedelic properties.
