2C-G-N

2C-G-N, or 2C-G-NPH, also known as 1,4-dimethoxynaphthyl-2-ethylamine, is a psychoactive drug of the phenethylamine, 2C, and naphthylethylamine families. It is the derivative of 2C-G in which the 3,4-dimethyl groups have been extended and connected to form a second benzene ring and hence has a 2-naphthalene ring system. In his book PiHKAL and other publications, Alexander Shulgin lists 2C-G-N's dose as 20 to 40mg orally and its duration as 20 to 30hours. The effects of the drug were reported to include some amphetamine-like stimulation, some possible antidepressant-like effects, "not much psychedelic" but "something really going on anyway", faint uneasiness, and "not as friendly" of effects as other 2C-G compounds. Its activity was described as "on the wane" compared to other 2C-G drugs and as lasting "too long". The chemical synthesis of 2C-G-N has been described. The drug was first described in the literature by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991. It is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.
