2C-B: Subjective Effects and Potential Clinical Uses - Jose Carlos Bouso

2C-B is presented as a manageable psychedelic compound that effectively enhances visual perception, similar to other serotonergic psychedelics, while being less impairing. Data from a naturalistic study indicates 2C-B produces vivid perceptual changes without inducing significant cognitive deficits. The findings also suggest that 2C-B is a highly sociability-enhancing drug and lacks the strong entactogenic qualities characteristic of MDMA. Because of its distinct subjective profile, the substance warrants further exploration in controlled clinical settings, particularly for applications like body work or therapy where intense entactogenic effects might be unwanted. The presentation highlights that, while 2C-B does cause some sympathetic nervous system activation, its profile as an easily manageable, mild-to-moderate psychedelic makes it a unique candidate for future clinical research.
