In one of the few clinical studies of a designer drug, 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenylethylamine (2C-B) was shown to induce euphoria, well-being, and changes in perception, and to have mild stimulant properties (Gonzalez et al. 2015). 2C-B may thus be classified as a psychedelic with entactogenic properties, an effect profile that is similar to various other phenethylamine psychedelics (Shulgin and Shulgin 1995).

DOSE EFFECT: Anecdotal data suggests that recreational doses of 2C-B range from 4—30 mg with lower doses (4—10 mg) producing entactogenic effects, whereas high doses (10— 20 mg) cause psychedelic and sympathomimetic effects.

[...] These increased sensations of touch [with 5-methoxytryptamines like 5-MeO-DiPT and 5-MeO-MiPT] are likely why some users compared the "body high" with the high associated with MDMA use. [...] I would actually say that it is closer to MDMA in its effects. The whole series of 5-MeO and 4-MeO … they're both very closely related in their effects so it tends to be a body high kind of thing. At higher doses it can get more psychedelic, but it's not that psychedelic. [...]

Baggott says his team regularly uses one of the compounds on the list in his lab. "When my team synthesizes and characterizes a new compound, we need to compare it to compounds with known effects. We use 5-MeO-MiPT as one of these known comparison compounds," he says. "It is scientifically interesting to my team because, although it has classical psychedelic effects at higher doses, it has some MDMA-like effects at low doses."
