2C-V

2C-V is a psychedelic drug and phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and described in his book PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story.

Chemistry

2C-V, or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-vinylphenethylamine, is a substituted phenethylamine featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain. 2C-V belongs to the 2C family of phenethylamines which contain methoxy groups on the 2 and 5 positions of the benzene ring.

Pharmacology

The exact mechanism of action for 2C-V is not well understood, like many other psychedelics. However, it is believed to work primarily by binding to serotonin receptors in the brain, specifically the 5-HT2A receptor. This receptor is involved in the regulation of mood, anxiety, and perception.

Effects

The effects of 2C-V are similar to other psychedelic phenethylamines, but it is often described as being less intense than its counterparts. Users report alterations in perception, mood, and thought. The duration of effects is typically 4-8 hours, depending on dosage and individual metabolism.

Legality

The legality of 2C-V 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 a Schedule I drug under the Federal Analogue Act.

Safety

As with all psychedelics, 2C-V should be used with caution. It is recommended that users have a sober "trip sitter" present, especially if they are inexperienced or using a high dose. The long-term effects of 2C-V use are not well studied, so caution is advised.
