2C2-NBOMe

2C-C-NBOMe (also known as 2C-C-NBOMe, Cimbi-82, and commonly shortened to C-NBOMe) is a synthetic psychedelic drug derived from the 2C-x family of phenethylamines. Specifically, it is a substituted phenethylamine derivative created by adding an N-benzyl-2-methoxy group to the nitrogen atom of 2C-C.

Pharmacology

2C-C-NBOMe is believed to act primarily as a potent partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. This receptor plays a key role in the effects of many psychedelic drugs. The NBOMe series of compounds, including 2C-C-NBOMe, are known for their high binding affinity to this receptor. The precise mechanism of action and full pharmacological profile are not fully understood.

Effects

The reported effects of 2C-C-NBOMe are similar to those of other psychedelic drugs, including altered perception, visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in thought processes, and emotional shifts. The intensity and duration of effects can vary significantly depending on dosage, individual physiology, and the environment in which it is taken. Users have reported effects lasting from several hours to over 12 hours.

Legality

2C-C-NBOMe is generally illegal in many jurisdictions due to its structural similarity to controlled substances and its classification as a designer drug. Many countries have laws that prohibit the sale, possession, and use of substances that are structurally analogous to controlled substances if they are intended for human consumption. Specific legal status should be checked with local laws and regulations.

Safety and Risks

2C-C-NBOMe, like other NBOMe compounds, carries significant risks. Due to its high potency, it is difficult to accurately dose, leading to potential overdoses and unpredictable effects. Reported adverse effects include agitation, anxiety, paranoia, seizures, vasoconstriction, hyperthermia, and death. The drug's vasoconstrictive properties can potentially lead to serious complications such as tissue damage or stroke. There is also limited research on the long-term effects of 2C-C-NBOMe use.
