Granted I've never tried it, but it seems like a good candidate for commercial distribution.
One, the synthesis is relatively easy. The hardest part is the bromination, and with a little trial and error, it wouldn't be too hard to synthesize. One could use N-bromosuccinimide and probably make it easier on the chemist.
I've seen the nitrostyrene for sale, at a price of about 600 to 800 a kilo. Granted this was a few years ago. Even the benzaldehyde probably won't be much more expensive.
Two, it is potent. One dosage is about 15 to 20 milligrams. That means it could be made affordable for the customer, say 10 a pill for consumers. Maybe cheaper, idk. But say 10 a pill. That's 50 pills to a gram, or 500 a gram retail, or roughly 50k a kilo retail. Not many other drugs match that. Plus the pills could be made very small, better for distribution and discretion. Or if powder, grams can distributed at the retail level for say 100 to 200 a gram, still lots of money, and it makes it incredibly easy to hide for the distributor.
Three, it doesnt have nearly the tolerance issue that other psychedelics have. Many people report that tolerance is minimal, and that you can dose several days in a row with minimal tolerance. Perfect for festivals.
However, the down sides are that it is still a psychedelic, and psychedelics are often unpredictable. 2cb is also known for a body load, aka nausea and feeling ill in general. More so than say MDMA anyway.
I'm just surprised this hasnt taken off in the US. It's be super easy for an enterprising group to synthesize maybe a few hundred grams, distribute it to a few groups across the country, and it would practically boom over night.
What do you guys think?
