2C-G-4
2C-G-4 is a psychedelic drug that belongs to the 2C family of substances, specifically the 2C-G subfamily. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, a renowned chemist and psychopharmacologist.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
2C-G-4, also known as 2,5-dimethoxy-3,4-dimethylphenethylamine, is a phenethylamine class compound. Its structure is similar to other 2C-G compounds, with the primary difference being the number of carbon atoms between the aromatic ring and the amino group. In the case of 2C-G-4, there are four carbon atoms, hence the '4' in its name.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The exact mechanism of action of 2C-G-4 is not fully understood. However, it is believed to work primarily by acting as an agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor, similar to other psychedelic drugs. This receptor is a subtype of the serotonin receptors and is thought to be responsible for the psychedelic effects of drugs like LSD and psilocybin.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 2C-G-4 are reported to be extremely long-lasting, with trips lasting up to 36 hours. Users report a range of effects, including visual hallucinations, enhanced perception, euphoria, and introspection. However, due to its potency and long duration, it is considered to be a substance that should be used with caution.
Legality[edit | edit source]
The legality of 2C-G-4 varies by country. In the United States, it is considered a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal to manufacture, distribute, or possess. In other countries, such as the United Kingdom, it is considered a Class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
