2C-E is a psychedelic substance of the phenethylamine class and a member of the 2C-x family, which is closely related to mescaline. First synthesized by Alexander Shulgin in 1977 and later documented in his 1991 book PiHKAL, Shulgin regarded it as one of the most important phenethylamine compounds, placing it among his "magical half-dozen." It is distinguished from other 2C-x substances by its particularly intense visual effects, notable physical body load, and stimulating character.
