2C-G


2C-G, or 2C-G-0, also known as 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine or as 3-methyl-2C-D, is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family. First synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, it has structural and pharmacodynamic properties similar to 2C-D and Ganesha. The drug has a number of known homologues, which are known as the 2C-G series of compounds.

Use and effects

In Alexander Shulgin's book PiHKAL, the dose range is listed as 20 to 35mg orally. Effects are similar to the related Ganesha, and are extremely long lasting; the duration is 18 to 30hours. Visual effects are muted or absent, and it is described as an "insight-enhancer". Unlike other members of the 2C series, 2C-G is nearly as potent as its amphetamine form.

Homologues

Several homologues of 2C-G were also synthesized and/or tested by Alexander Shulgin. These include 2C-G-3, 2C-G-5, and 2C-G-N. Some, such as 2C-G-1, 2C-G-2, 2C-G-4, and 2C-G-6, are possible to synthesize in principle but impossible or extraordinarily difficult to do so in practice.
