According to Alexander Shulgin in his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and other publications, 2CT2-5-EtO's dose is 20 mg orally and its duration is 16 to 24 hours.[1][2][3] Its onset is said to be "slow" and "gentle", with peak effects occurring after 3 or 4 hours, and it is said to be very long-lived.[1] The effects of 2CT2-5-EtO have been reported to include flooding of thoughts, easy conversation, insights, and feeling drained in the following day or two.[1] Occasionally, a sedative was given to counteract its effects at the 16-hour point and allow for sleep, but with some intoxication still present the next day.[1] The drug's potency is similar to that of 2C-T-2, but it is much longer-lasting.[1][2][3] Due to its long duration, 2CT2-5-EtO was given the nickname "Forever Yours".[1]
The chemical synthesis of 2CT2-5-EtO has been described.[1]
2CT2-5-EtO was first described in the literature by Shulgin in PiHKAL in 1991.[1] It was developed and tested by Darrell Lemaire, with publication via personal communication with Shulgin.[2][4][5][6][7] The drug is a controlled substance in Canada under phenethylamine blanket-ban language.[8]
