2C-H, or 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a lesser-known psychedelic drug of the 2C family. 2C-H was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. In his book PIHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), the dosage and duration are both unknown. 2C-H has never (probably) been tried by man, as it would obviously destroyed by monoamine oxidases before it could reach the central nervous system, and thus would cause no effects whatsoever [1]. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 2C-H.
