2C-G, or 2C-G-0, also known as 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C-series. First synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, [1] it is sometimes used as an entheogen. It has structural and pharmacodynamic properties similar to 2C-D and Ganesha. Like many of the phenethylamines in PiHKAL , 2C-G and its homologs have only been taken by Shulgin and a small test group, making it difficult to ensure completeness when describing effects.

Contents

Use and effects

In Shulgin's book PiHKAL, the dosage range is listed as 20 to 35 mg. [1] Effects are similar to the related Ganesha, and are extremely long lasting; the duration is 18 to 30 hours. Visual effects are muted or absent, and it is described in PiHKAL as an "insight-enhancer". [1] Unlike other members of the 2C-series, 2C-G is nearly as potent as its amphetamine form.

Homologues

Several homologues of 2C-G were also synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. These include 2C-G-3, 2C-G-5, and 2C-G-N. Some, such as 2C-G-1, 2C-G-2, 2C-G-4, and 2C-G-6 are possible to synthesize in principle but impossible or extraordinarily difficult to do so in practice.

Duration: 20–30 hours
Effects: Stimulation similar to that caused by amphetamines. General sense of unease or unfriendliness for most. 2C-G-N is sometimes called 2C-NPH due to the naphthalene portion of the molecule.
