[edit] Chemistry

2C-T-4 is the 2-carbon homologue of DOT-4, aka Aleph-4. The full chemical name is 2-[4-(isopropyl thio)-2,5-dimethoxy phenyl]ethanamine. The drug has structural and pharmacodynamic properties similar to mescaline and 2C-T-7.

[edit] Dosage

2C-T-4 is usually taken orally, and the dosage range is typically 8-20 mg.

[edit] Effects

2C-T-4 produces psychedelic and entheogenic effects that develop slowly and can last 8-16 hours. Some users have also reported dissociative properties uncharacteristic of other psychedelic phenethylamines. While all users experience virtually no effects for the first hour after ingestion, results vary drastically between individuals and range from hallucination and euphoria to intense sickness and anxiety.

[edit] Pharmacology

The mechanism that produces 2C-T-4’s hallucinogenic and entheogenic effects is unknown.

[edit] Dangers

The toxicity of 2C-T-4 is not well documented. It may be expected that it would act in a manner similar to that of other phenethylamines, especially of the 2C-T family. Most, if not all confirmed fatalities involving 2C-T drugs involve a combination of other hard drugs such as alcohol, ecstacy, acid, cocaine, or heroin. To those already inebriated with alcohol, 2C-T-4 has a dangerous sobering effect that may lead chronically abusive or inexperienced users to drink until lethally poisened. By itself, doses above 20 milligrams of 2C-T-4 elevate the risk not only of very unpleasant physiological experiences, but of death.

[edit] Popularity

2C-T-4 is relatively unknown on the black market, but has been sold to a limited extent on the research chemical market.

[edit] Legality

2C-T-4 is unscheduled and unregulated in the United States, however its close similarity in structure and effects to 2C-T-7 could potentially subject possession and sale of proscaline to prosecution under the Federal Analog Act. This seems to be the tack the federal government is taking in the wake of the DEA's Operation Web Tryp. A series of Court Cases in the US involving the prosecution of several online vendors is ongoing as of 2004.
