Dosage[]

In his book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Shulgin lists the dosage range as 100-150 mg. 2C-N is generally taken orally, and effects typically last 4 to 6 hours.

Dangers[]

There have been no reported deaths or hospitalizations from 2C-N, but its safety profile is unknown.

Law[]

2C-N is unscheduled and uncontrolled in the United States, but possession and sales of 2C-N may potentially be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act because of its structural similarities to 2C-T-7 or 2C-B. The legality of 2C-N is under scrutiny as of July 2004, due to Operation Web Tryp.

2C-N and all other compounds featuring in PiHKAL are illegal drugs in the United Kingdom.
