2C-T-6
A synthetic psychedelic compound
2C-T-6 is a synthetic psychedelic compound belonging to the 2C family of phenethylamines. It was first synthesized by the chemist Alexander Shulgin and is known for its psychoactive effects, which are similar to those of other compounds in the 2C series.
Chemical Structure and Properties[edit | edit source]
2C-T-6 is chemically classified as a phenethylamine, with the full chemical name 2-[4-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl]ethanamine. It features a methoxy group at the 2 and 5 positions of the phenyl ring and a thioether group at the 4 position, which is a distinguishing feature of the 2C-T series.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The pharmacological effects of 2C-T-6 are not well-studied, but it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelics. This action is thought to be responsible for its psychoactive effects, which include altered perception, mood, and cognition.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 2C-T-6 are reported to be similar to those of other 2C compounds, such as 2C-B and 2C-I. Users have described experiences of enhanced sensory perception, visual hallucinations, and altered states of consciousness. The onset of effects typically occurs within 1 to 2 hours after ingestion, with a duration of action lasting 6 to 10 hours.
Safety and Toxicity[edit | edit source]
There is limited data on the safety and toxicity of 2C-T-6. As with other psychedelics, there is a potential for psychological distress, including anxiety and paranoia, especially at higher doses. The lack of comprehensive studies means that the long-term effects and potential risks are not well understood.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of 2C-T-6 varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be classified as a controlled substance, while in others it may remain unregulated. It is important for individuals to be aware of the legal implications of possessing or using 2C-T-6 in their respective countries.
History[edit | edit source]
2C-T-6 was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, who documented its synthesis and effects in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved). Shulgin's work has been instrumental in the exploration of psychedelic compounds and their potential uses.
