RH-34

RH-34 is a psychoactive drug that belongs to the phenethylamine class of compounds. It is also known as 2-(4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-[(2-methoxyphenyl)methyl]ethanamine. RH-34 is a derivative of 2C-I and is often used in research for its psychedelic properties.

History

RH-34 was first synthesized in the late 20th century by a team of chemists led by Alexander Shulgin. Shulgin's work on the synthesis and effects of RH-34 and other phenethylamines is documented in his book PiHKAL.

Pharmacology

The exact mechanism of action of RH-34 is not fully understood. However, it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelic phenethylamines. This means that it binds to and activates certain serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to its psychedelic effects.

Effects

The effects of RH-34 can vary greatly depending on the dose, the individual's physiology, and the context in which it is used. Common effects reported by users include visual hallucinations, altered thought processes, and heightened emotional sensitivity. Some users also report physical effects such as increased heart rate and blood pressure.

Legal Status

The legal status of RH-34 varies by country. In some countries, it is classified as a controlled substance, making its possession, sale, or use illegal. In other countries, it is legal to possess and use RH-34 for research purposes.
