Chemistry

2C-O is in a class of compounds commonly known as phenethylamines, and the full chemical name is 2-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)ethanamine.

Effects

Although not centrally active itself, 2,4,5-TMPEA appeared to potentiate the action of mescaline when employed as pretreatment 45 minutes prior to the administration of mescaline.^[1]

Dangers

The toxicity of 2C-O is not known.

Law

2C-O is unscheduled and unregulated in the United States, however its close similarity in structure to mescaline and 2C-B could potentially subject possession and sale of 2C-O to prosecution under the Federal Analog Act.

2C-O and all other compounds featuring in PiHKAL are Class A drugs in the United Kingdom.
