2C-V

Chemical structure of 2C-V

2C-V is a synthetic psychedelic compound belonging to the 2C family of phenethylamines. It is known for its psychoactive effects, which are similar to other compounds in the 2C series, such as 2C-B and 2C-I. The chemical structure of 2C-V is characterized by the presence of a methoxy group at the 2 and 5 positions of the phenyl ring, and a vinyl group at the 4 position.

Chemical Properties

2C-V is a phenethylamine derivative, which means it is structurally related to the neurotransmitter phenethylamine. The presence of the methoxy groups and the vinyl group in its structure contributes to its unique pharmacological profile. The molecular formula of 2C-V is C12H17NO2.

Pharmacology

The pharmacological effects of 2C-V are not well-documented, as it is a relatively obscure compound within the 2C series. However, like other 2C compounds, it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is associated with its psychedelic effects. Users report effects such as altered perception, visual hallucinations, and changes in mood and thought processes.

Usage and Effects

2C-V is typically used recreationally for its psychedelic effects. The onset of effects usually occurs within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion, with the peak effects lasting for several hours. Users may experience visual and auditory hallucinations, enhanced sensory perception, and altered states of consciousness. The intensity and duration of effects can vary depending on the dose and individual sensitivity.

Legal Status

The legal status of 2C-V varies by country. In many places, it is considered a controlled substance due to its structural similarity to other regulated 2C compounds. Users should be aware of the legal implications of possessing or using 2C-V in their jurisdiction.

Safety and Risks

As with other psychedelic substances, the use of 2C-V carries potential risks, including psychological distress, anxiety, and the possibility of a "bad trip." It is important for users to approach the use of 2C-V with caution and to be in a safe and supportive environment. There is limited research on the long-term effects of 2C-V, and its safety profile is not well-established.
