Summary
2C-G is an extremely rare and long-acting psychedelic phenethylamine first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. It is notable for its exceptionally long duration of 18-30 hours and relatively mild visual effects compared to other 2C compounds. Shulgin described it as an 'insight-enhancer' with effects similar to Ganesha. Information is extremely limited as only Shulgin and a small test group have documented experiences. The long duration and potential for prolonged overstimulation require careful consideration of set, setting, and time commitment.
Perspectives
“I am completely functional, with writing and answering the telephone, but the coffee really tastes most strange. While the mental effects (to a ++ only) were dispersing, the body still had quite a bit of memory of the day. Sleep was fine, and desirable, in the early evening.”
