[edit] Chemistry
The full name of the chemical is 2-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrophenyl)ethanamine.
Salts of 2C-N have a bright yellow to orange color due to the presence of the nitro group, unlike all other members of the 2C family in which the salts are white.
[edit] Dosage
In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved), Shulgin lists the dosage range as 100-150 mg. 2C-N is generally taken orally, and effects typically last 4 to 6 hours.[1]
[edit] Law
2C-N is unscheduled and uncontrolled in the United States, but possession and sales of 2C-N may potentially be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act because of its structural similarities to 2C-T-7 or 2C-B. The legality of 2C-N is under scrutiny as of July 2004, due to Operation Web Tryp.
2C-N and most (possibly all) other compounds featuring in PiHKAL are illegal drugs in the United Kingdom.
