[edit] conflict of interest?

Should there really be a link to [link removed] on this page? Linking to a site that sells research chemicals doesn't seem like something that would normally be done around here.

i agree, and since the page added little information, i deleted it. Cain 3 July 2005 04:06 (UTC)

[edit] copyright infringement?

I noticed that this article is almost identical to this page. The URL includes 'wiki' in it, but the bottom of the page says that content is copyrighted. Does anyone know if that webpage's content is usable? Lachatdelarue (talk) 03:40, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

I think its a strange mirror . . . you can click on all the links in the article and it takes you to the equivalent wikipedia page; I clicked on United States, for instance, and it's the same article, down to the pics and infobox and everything else . . . --Heah 08:49, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Alright, we'll assume it's a mirror then. Works for me, just wanted to make sure we weren't about to get sued :) Lachatdelarue (talk) 14:24, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Legality

Can someone provide references to it actually being made illegal in other European countries?

Just FYI the federal analog act requires the drug be intended for human consumption in order to be subject to this law. I have added a small statement mentioning this. Cloaked Dagger 16:32, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cases

"A series of court cases in the US involving the prosecution of several online vendors is ongoing as of 2004."

Can someone provide any information on the ongoing case[s] they are referring to or others currently pending? --eXitwoundgaming


There has been at least one ruling in these cases in which the judge determined the burden of proof of human consumption was on the DEA. This has led to a case against a vendor being dismissed. Also, some of the vendors are serving some serious jail time. Giantpiemaster 16:20, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Street Names

I work in an ER and recently I had a semi-concious patient arrive who ingested GHB with alcohol and something he was told was called "Starbursts". Poison Control did not recognize this street name, but after some research online I found one or two sites associating this name with 2C-I. Have you heard of this street name in association with 2C-I or is this something else? rmosler 03:43, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Some Names USA: White Power, Tripstacy, Super Cool, Crunch, Drek, Phen

[edit] Thyroid

There have been reports of possible toxicity and dangers in those suffering from hyperthyroidism. Anyone suffering from hyperthyroidism or any other related disease should take caution when using 2C-I.[citation needed]

Where are these reports from? I think there is one such report on erowid, but it refers to an interaction with some sort of hyperthyroidism drug, I believe. This should be referenced. It is important to record interactions (even though it is questionable whether Wikipedia is the place to do it), but without references this is likely to degenerate into the seeding of the kind of rumors that naturally plague this topic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.109.198.99 (talk • contribs) .

A quick Google search for 2ci + thyroid yields only the erowid report, which is a single account with some rationalization by the user, who has no medical background. It's much closer to hearsay than actual research, and I think the section should be deleted.

[edit] citations anyone?

"2C-I is always taken orally, although it can also be insufflated, smoked, or administered rectally as well (though as with all phenethylamines of the 2C class, 2C-I is incredibly painful upon insufflation) your face will most likely turn very red and you will feel like you are dying."

So your face will turn red and you will feel like you're going to die(subjective,wtf?!) when taking this??

No when you insuffalate 2c-i you're face may turn red and it will burn, not recommended.


"User reports have said that 2C-I may produce flashbacks in the weeks following its use. These flashbacks can last anywhere between seconds and hours, and manifest as a return of the hallucinogenic effects of the drug. Some users report being able to trigger the flashbacks at will. Note however that these flashbacks do not occur in the majority, but have simply been observed in a selection of users."

Citation?! Please!!! People also say lsd collects in your spine!!!

"Virtually no research has been conducted on the toxicity of 2C-I. Unconfirmed reports have mentioned blood-clotting issues, muscle pain and fatigue, tingling of extremities, pain in the kidney areas (after repeated use) and symptoms of stroke. Seizures have been reported when 2C-I was taken in combination with Wellbutrin. Potential users of 2C-I should be aware that the long-term effects are virtually unknown.

As of 2005, no official scientific studies of 2C-I users have been conducted, and no deaths have been attributed to the drug. There have been no reports of physical dependence or addiction. Comparisons with similar compounds suggest that use of 2C-I is unlikely to result in physical dependence."

[edit] Citations anyone??!! Revisited

The street names listed in the article for 2C-I (iTrip, etc.) seem to be flimsy/ unverified, especially Pie. can we get some sources for these names, other than hearing random guys on the street call it that? --Use the force (Talk * Contribs) 13:31, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Blood clotting issues" and "symptoms of stroke"

Are the above parts of the article accurate?

I experienced the left and the right side of my body feeling different on 2C-I, which I found very worrying (and I'm pretty sure the physical symptoms were there before the worrying). On the other hand, I experienced this both times I tried 2C-I; wouldn't having a stroke two of two times be kind of unlikely? There also wasn't any obvious lasting damage.
