Annals of emergency medicine September 1, 2020 Johanna J Nugteren-Van Lonkhuyzen, Dylan W de Lange, Antoinette J H P van Riel et al. 12 citations

Most poisonings from the psychedelic drug 2C-B result in moderate toxicity, even at high doses up to 192 mg. Among 59 patients for whom a poison center was consulted, 32 were followed up; 53% reported high doses (over 20 mg). Moderate poisoning occurred in the majority of both low-to-moderate and high-dose groups. Common symptoms included dilated pupils, agitation or aggression, hallucinations, confusion, anxiety, high blood pressure, and rapid heart rate. No severe cases were observed. The clinical course was usually short-lived (up to 24 hours) and typically involved hallucinations along with mild physical effects.
