    Summary PsychonautWiki

    4-Chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (commonly known as 2C-C) is a lesser-known psychedelic substance of the phenethylamine class that produces psychedelic effects when administered. It is a member of the 2C-x family of psychedelic phenethylamines, all of which were derived from the systematic modification of the mescaline molecule.

    Perspectives

    “Intranasal 2C-C features greater potency, faster comeup, shorter duration. Characterized by latent energy with bright pulsing and flashing visuals, architectural and structural and artificial in nature.”

    “This is longer lived than 2C-B, and there is a longer latency in coming on. It took an hour and a half, or even two hours to get there. It had a slight metallic overtone.”

    Tolerance

    Build-up develops rapidly after a single use
    Reset 7–14 days for baseline

    Tolerance Decay

    Full tolerance 1d Half tolerance 3d Baseline ~14d

    General psychedelic tolerance pattern: rapid tolerance after a single session, partial decay in ~3 days, near‑baseline by ~1–2 weeks for most users. Data are largely anecdotal by extrapolation from 2C‑B, mescaline, and class‑wide sources.
