Fluorolintane

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Fluorolintane is a psychoactive drug that belongs to the dissociative class of substances. It is known for its potent anesthetic and hallucinogenic effects. Fluorolintane is a derivative of Phencyclidine (PCP), a powerful dissociative and hallucinogen that was once used in medical settings but is now primarily used recreationally.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

Fluorolintane is a fluorinated derivative of lintane, a substance that is structurally related to PCP. The addition of a fluorine atom to the lintane molecule increases its potency and alters its effects. The exact chemical name of fluorolintane is 1-(1-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-phenylethyl)piperidine.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Fluorolintane acts primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist. This means it blocks the action of the neurotransmitter glutamate at NMDA receptors in the brain. This blockade results in a disconnection of sensory input from the external environment, leading to the characteristic dissociative effects of the drug.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of fluorolintane can be intense and unpredictable. They may include dissociation, hallucinations, delusions, and a sense of detachment from reality. Some users report experiencing out-of-body experiences or entering alternate realities. The effects can last for several hours, and the after-effects can persist for days.

Risks[edit | edit source]

The use of fluorolintane carries significant risks. These include psychosis, addiction, and physical harm due to impaired judgment and coordination. There is also a risk of overdose, which can result in severe respiratory depression, coma, and death.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of fluorolintane varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance and its possession, sale, and use are illegal.
