Synthetic phenethylamine psychedelic with combined empathogenic and visual effects.

Example: First synthesized by Alexander Shulgin in 1974 — he called it part of his "magical half-dozen" of noteworthy phenethylamines and described the effect as a "warm hug." A real safety note: 2C-B is metabolized in part by the same MAO enzymes an MAOI blocks, and case reports link the combination to agitation — worth knowing if you're on one for any reason.
