2-(4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanamine
2C-B is a synthetic psychedelic from the phenethylamine class, primarily characterized by its action as a 5-HT2A agonist. It induces altered perceptions, visual effects, and emotional enhancement. The substance is often used in psychonautical research but has a moderate risk profile, especially with improper use.

Avoid uncertain dosage claims and do not infer numbers when data is unclear.
Dose sensitivity varies greatly between individuals. Body weight, tolerance, route of administration, combinations, and pre-existing conditions significantly affect outcomes. These figures are not dosing recommendations — they describe reported ranges, not safe amounts.
Risks
Overdose Risk
Kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen (Hypertension, Tachyarrhythmie) sind relevanter als bei reinen Serotonin-Psychedelika. Psychiatrische Krisen erfordern beruhigende Begleitung ('Tripping'). Benzodiazepine können bei ausgeprägter Agitation oder Panikreaktionen eingesetzt werden.
