2C-I (2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamine is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and described in his 1991 book PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story. The drug is used recreationally for its psychedelic and entactogenic effects and is sometimes confused for the analog 25I-NBOMe, nicknamed "Smiles," in the media.

Recreational use

In the early 2000s, 2C-I was sold in Dutch smart shops after the drug 2C-B was banned.

According to the US government's Drug Enforcement Administration, 2C-I is taken orally or snorted in a powder form.

Effects

Visual effects of 2C-I exposure have been described by many users as iterating fractals, along with a more generalized shift in perception and/or cognition.
