2C-I |

2C-I is a psychedelic hallucinogenic drug and phenethylamine that was developed and popularized by Alexander Shulgin, sometimes used as an entheogen. Its full chemical name is 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamine. It was described in Shulgin’s book PiHKAL. The drug is used recreationally, and perhaps as an entheogen, however no medical or industrial uses have been reported. It is mostly commonly encountered in the form of its hydrochloride salt, a fluffy, sparkling white powder, and has also been pressed into tablet form. As it has only recently grown popular, slang terms for 2C-I vary with location, and it has been called "eyes," "ice," "twice," "hyperglitter," and "enigma," among others. In the early 2000s, 2C-I in powder form became available for purchase from several online vendors of research chemicals in the United States, Asia, and elsewhere. In 2002 and 2003, tablets of 2C-I were being sold illegally in nightclubs and at raves in Denmark and in the United Kingdom as a club drug, with tablets often being sold under the guise of being MDMA or a mixture of some Amphetamine (which it is not) and LSD.
