2C-E (2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylphenethylamine) is a psychedelic hallucinogenic drug and entheogenic phenethylamine first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. It is commonly active in the 10 - 25 mg range, taken orally, and highly dose-sensitive. Insufflating (ie administering the chemical nasally) requires a much lower dose, typically not exceeding 5mgs, but tends to cause intense pain. Shulgin classified 2C-E as a member of the "magical half-dozen" in his book ' PiHKAL'. Many have reported that the effects of 2C-E are similar to those of the other phenethylamines, only much more intense. Vivid hallucinations similar to those experienced while under the influence of LSD are common, and many reports would indicate that the effects of this particular chemical may be overly intense for those not well experienced with psychedelics.
It should be noted that if 2C-E follows the same patterns as 2C-T-7 (another similar chemical) the risks of a serious and potentially fatal overdose are increased significantly when administrated nasally.
