New trends in the cyber and street market of recreational drugs? The case of 2C-T-7 ('Blue Mystic').

Journal of psychopharmacology (Oxford, England) November 1, 2005 Fabrizio Schifano, Paolo Deluca, Lisa Agosti et al. 70 citations

The compound 2C-T-7 ('Blue Mystic'), which resembles MDMA and other designer drugs, has rarely been identified in the EU, yet online discussion among experimenters has recently grown. A review of cyber and street market information found that 2C-T-7 was first synthesized in 1986 and produces desired effects of empathy and well-being, with anecdotal reports of hallucinations, nausea, anxiety, panic attacks, and paranoid ideation. Street-level availability in Europe appears very low, though one US death from mono-intoxication is documented. From an initial 360 websites, 118 were analyzed: 14 (11.9%) described synthesis, and 5 (4.2%) offered the drug for sale.
