2C-G 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.

Chemistry

[edit]

2C-G is 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, with the formula C

.

Dosage and effects

[edit]

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 18–30 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.

Homologs

[edit]

Several homologs of 2C-G were also synthesized by 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.
