What are 2CB and 2CT-7? 2CB and 2CT-7 have effects somewhere between ecstasy and LSD. As hallucinogens they induce a state in which you see objects and reality in a distorted way and may cause hallucinations (seeing and hearing things that aren’t there). As stimulants they can make you feel awake and alert and may cause changes in your emotions. They're not widely available in the UK but have been reported in a number of
European countries. Both of these drugs are relatively new to the market so currently there’s very little information about them.
Key effects and risks of 2CB and 2CT-7 include:
An energy buzz with possible feelings of alertness, of being alive and of being in tune with surroundings –like ecstasy, particularly when taken at lower doses.
Headaches and nausea; and at high doses – more serious confused, agitated or even delirious states.
