2C drugs have psychedelic, hallucinogenic and stimulant effects.
Users report an energy buzz with feelings of alertness and being in tune with surroundings.
The more you take, the more intense and uncontrollable the experience will be.
Effects usually last from two to four hours but sometimes longer.
2CB can cause serious delusions due to their hallucinogenic effects.
They may cause headaches, nausea and vomiting.
At high doses, users can get confused and agitated.

After effects can include low mood, feeling dizzy, tiredness and mood swings.

Long-term use can make underlying mental health problems worse, such as depression and schizophrenia.
Reports of immediate effects include panic attacks and acute psychosis.
There is evidence that 2C compounds can powerfully over-stimulate the heart and circulation.
It is not yet known if they cause any long- term damage but there have been reports of hospitalisations associated with use of these types of drugs.

Many Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) are controlled substances under the Misuse of Drugs Act (1971).
2CB and other substances that come under the ’2C’ variations, are Class A drugs, which means they are illegal to possess, sell or give away.
Possession can result in prosecution and up to a seven year prison sentence or an unlimited fine.
Supplying someone else, even your friends, can result in a life sentence or an unlimited fine.

Being convicted of a drug-related offence could have a serious impact on your future.

This could affect the types of jobs you apply for and stop you from entering some countries.
