BOH (drug)

BOH, in the context of psychoactive substances, most commonly refers to a substituted phenethylamine. Specifically, it generally designates beta-hydroxy-2C-H.

• Beta-Hydroxy-2C-H: Beta-Hydroxy-2C-H is the β-hydroxy analog of the 2C-H psychedelic phenethylamine. Its full chemical name is 2-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)ethanol. It is structurally related to other 2C drugs but contains a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the ethylamine side chain.

Pharmacology:

The pharmacology of BOH is not fully understood, and limited scientific research exists regarding its effects on the human body. It is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, like other 2C-family compounds, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor. However, due to the presence of the beta-hydroxy group, the activity and binding affinity at these receptors may differ from that of its non-hydroxylated counterpart, 2C-H. The presence of the hydroxyl group can influence the substance's polarity and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Effects:

The effects reported with BOH use are varied and subjective. Due to the limited research and anecdotal nature of available information, effects can not be accurately predicted, and are not well documented or consistent.

Legality:

The legal status of BOH varies by jurisdiction. It is often not explicitly scheduled, but its structural similarity to controlled substances like 2C-H could lead to prosecution under analogue laws in some regions.
