3C-P is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 3C family. It is structurally related to mescaline and other compounds in the 3C series, such as 3C-E and 3C-B.

Chemical structure

3C-P is chemically known as 1-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-propoxyphenyl)propan-2-amine. It features a phenethylamine backbone with methoxy groups at the 3 and 5 positions and a propoxy group at the 4 position of the aromatic ring. This structure is similar to that of other 3C compounds, which are characterized by their substitution patterns on the phenyl ring.

Pharmacology

The pharmacological properties of 3C-P are not well-documented, but it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelic phenethylamines. The presence of the propoxy group is thought to influence its potency and duration of action compared to other related compounds.

Effects

The effects of 3C-P are reported to be similar to those of other psychedelics, including altered perception, mood changes, and visual hallucinations. The onset of effects typically occurs within 1 to 2 hours after ingestion, with the experience lasting several hours. Users have reported both positive and negative experiences, with some noting a sense of euphoria and others experiencing anxiety or confusion.

Legal status

3C-P is not specifically controlled under international drug laws, but its legal status may vary by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be considered an analogue of controlled substances, making it subject to regulation under analogue drug laws.
