Risk assessment

This pill, sold as 2C-B, does not contain 2C-B, but rather caffeine and 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonate.

Caffeine is a stimulant that increases alertness and concentration. High amounts can cause nervousness, restlessness, sleep problems, and rapid heartbeat.

In addition to caffeine, the substance 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonate, which indicates an impure synthesis, was also detected in this pill. 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonate is an intermediate product of 2C-B synthesis. No information is available on the effects, toxicity, and side effects of this substance. As it is a tosylate, additional risks such as mucosal irritation or unknown toxic effects may occur. The potential for interaction with caffeine is completely unknown.

Pills and tablets are often mislabeled; here too, it is essential to have them tested! The logo or color does not guarantee the contents. The same pill was analyzed in Basel in 2023 – it contained 12.3 mg of 2C-B.
