2C-E

2C-E is a naturally occurring psychedelic chemical belonging to the phenethylamine group. It was discovered by Alexander Shulgin and documented in his book PiHKAL. Because of its short history of human use, this compound has not been researched thoroughly and still remains unscheduled (pseudo-legal) in most countries around the world.

When ingested orally or insufflated (snorted), active doses can be as low as 5mg and 1mg respectively. The effects are very similar to those of LSD and psilocybin, however there are certain nuances which differ. The visuals are ridiculously intense and more 'wobbly' than shrooms, yet there are also intricate and colorful geometric patterns with eyes both open and closed.

2C-E is interesting in that it can induce different trips in different environments. In a social party environment, it can take on an almost MDMA-like quality, overjoying the user and creating a strong empathy for other people and reality. In a relaxing, thought-provoking atmosphere it can create spiritual journeys comparable to the immensity of those experienced with  LSD.

Although there are only slight physical side-effects, including twitching of limbs, there have been 4 fatal overdose deaths related to 2C-E. It is rather safe however, as long as the dosage is measured carefully with a milligram scale. Also, it is best to overestimate the effects and start out small, in a comfortable and safe area.
