2C-N

2C-N is a psychedelic phenethylamine first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, sometimes used as an entheogen. The full name of the chemical is 2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrophenethylamine. In his book PIHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Shulgin lists the dosage range as 100 to 150 mg. 2C-N is generally taken orally, and effects typically last 4 to 6 hours. 2C-N is unscheduled and uncontrolled in the United States, but possession and sales of 2C-N will probably be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act because of its structural similarities to 2C-T-7 or 2C-B. There have been no reported deaths from 2C-N. The legality of 2C-N is under scrutiny as of July 2004, due to Operation Web Tryp.

A psychedelic dosage of 2C-N is between 100mg and 150mg, while lower dosages (50mg to 75mg) produce empathogenic effects. 2C-N has a bright yellow to orange color due to the presence of the nitro group unlike all other members of the 2C family which are colorless.
