Short and long term effects of 2CB

2C-B — What you should know

2C-B is a psychedelic stimulant.
It brings euphoria, energy, and empathy.
People often feel more alert, buzzed, and emotionally open.
Colours and sounds can feel different or more intense.

The effects last 2 to 6 hours.
It depends on the dose, method, and personal tolerance.

Short-term effects include dilated pupils and a faster heartbeat.
Some people feel sick or anxious.
Visual distortions and hallucinations can happen.
Mood changes are common... from joy to confusion or panic.
In rare cases, 2C-B can trigger psychosis.

There’s limited research on long-term use.
Frequent use may affect mental health and worsen existing issues.

Mixing 2C-B with antidepressants, stimulants, or other psychedelics is risky.
It can cause serotonin syndrome, a dangerous reaction in the brain.

2C-B isn’t physically addictive, but it can become a habit.
People may chase the emotional or visual high.

It usually comes as a powder or pill.
Street names include Tussi, Toonies, Bromo, and Nexus.

If you’re using 2C-B or thinking about it, know the risks.
Stay informed, stay safe, and reach out if you need support.
