RH-34
RH-34
RH-34 (pronounced: /ɑːr eɪtʃ θɜːrti fɔːr/) is a psychoactive drug that belongs to the phenethylamine class of compounds. It is also known as 2-(4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine.
Etymology
The term "RH-34" is derived from the initials of the scientists who first synthesized it, Ralf Heim and Alexander Shulgin, and the number 34 represents the order in which it was discovered in their series of psychoactive compounds.
Pharmacology
RH-34 is a serotonin receptor agonist, meaning it binds to and activates these receptors in the brain. It is structurally similar to other phenethylamines such as mescaline and 2C-I, and is believed to produce its effects primarily through interaction with the 5-HT2A receptor.
Effects
The effects of RH-34 are not well-studied, but it is believed to produce hallucinogenic effects similar to those of other phenethylamines. These may include altered perception of time and space, enhanced sensory experiences, and changes in thought processes.
Legal Status
In many countries, including the United States, RH-34 is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning it has a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use.
