Drug Exposé: 2C-B-FLY by Cam Leids

FLY compounds are aptly named for the insect-like appearance of their chemical structure. 2C-B-FLY is unscheduled and uncontrolled in the United States, which means it is currently legal to buy. It’s also legal in much of Europe, but 2C-B-FLY is a controlled substance (Schedule III) in Canada. There’s no history of 2C-B-FLY being sold on the streets, so if you want to buy  2C-B-FLY, you’ll likely need to purchase it through online research chemical vendors. The 2C-B-Fly meanwhile can give us a hint of flavor at only 5 mg, without at all confronting the user with feelings and sensations that are too complex and deep. The classic dose of 10 mg is easy to manage, this molecule at low doses is much more recreational than mushrooms or LSD.

• It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this substance.
• All of this is what serves to induce what we know as the psychedelic experience.
• As a little anecdote, a friend of mine mistakenly took an non-premeditated high dose of 2C-B-FLY.
• 2C-B-FLY contains a 2C-B molecule at its core with two dihydrofuran rings attached to the central benzene ring.
• A large family of compounds can thus be derived, many of which can be predicted to be active hallucinogens based on the known structure-activity relationships of these drugs, although most of these compounds have not yet been made and tested.

It could be seen as a kind of 2C-B which lasts longer, which offers a clearer and calmer mindset, and which is more focused on physical sensations than on visuals after all. 2C-B-FLY includes visual effects with eyes open, which are generally described as wavering, transforming. In addition, vivid mental images or visions (as opposed to visuals) may be experienced with the eyes closed. It is strongly recommended that one use harm reduction practices when using this substance. It was first synthesized by Aaron P. Monte, and sometimes used as an entheogen.

2C-B-FLY produces psychedelic effects that last 6-8 hours, or up to 12 hours in larger doses. This event led to its immediate withdrawal until around 2016, when it resurfaced on the market again. Anecdotal evidence suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying it by itself at low to moderate doses or using it very sparingly (although nothing can be completely guaranteed). All pharmacologically active substances are going to carry some risk of side effects — 2C-B-FLY is no different. If you stick to the recommended doses, it’s unlikely for there to be any serious side effects. In terms of potency, 2C-B-FLY is roughly 10 times as potent as mescaline.

Empty your bowels before you plug.Mix every 10 mg of the drug with 0.1 ml of filtered water. Let the drug completely dissolve into the water.Use a 1 ml syringe, put the liquid into it and plug the substance into your a#s.You need to put the syringe deep enough but not too deep either. What will help you achieve this is putting a rubber band around the 0.6 ml. That way, you will know when to stop.After you pour the liquid into your system, wait for 1-2 minutes, then pour the syringe out and go lay on your bed or the ground. Always conduct independent research (e.g. Google, DuckDuckGo, PubMed) to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe to consume.

Dependence and abuse potential

You should always test your substances using a harm-reduction drug testing kit before you take it. Even if you’re ordering from a “reputable” vendor, you should always verify the substance you have before you take it. MDMA is the king of the empathogens and is therefore much stronger in this regard than 2C-B-FLY. Its stimulating actions can sometimes be a detriment — causing overstimulation, overheating, and dehydration. It also makes it impossible to sleep for several hours after the experience. 2C-B-FLY is considered to fall somewhere on the milder end of the spectrum in terms of the psychedelic effects.

Why choose 2C-B-Fly over other psychedelics?

• 2C-B-FLY is a psychedelic substance of the of the phenethylamine and benzodihydrodifuran classes.
• In general, 2C-B-Fly has a euphoric effect as well as a slight stimulating effect, however, a feeling of lethargy has also been reported and is notably more present at the end of the experience.
• 2C-B-FLY, chemical name 8-bromo-2,3,6,7-benzo-dihydro-difuran-ethylamine (try saying that five times fast), was first synthesized by Aaron P. Monte in 1996.
• There are some user reports of people taking much larger doses — closer to 40 mg — but this is only recommended if you have a lot of experience with this psychedelic.

In the United States, 2C-B-FLY isn’t directly mentioned, which would make it an unscheduled substance. This act automatically makes any analogs of existing scheduled substances illegal until manually removed. 2C-B-FLY has some benefits in this regard by being less stimulating. It’s just strong enough that it’s almost guaranteed to induce feelings of positivity, motivation, and increased feelings of love and connection. These effects make it especially useful for promoting arousal and enhancing sexual activity. Many users report the 2C-B-FLY experience to be similar to MDMA or MDA — especially in lower doses.

Toxicity

At high doses you can start to compare it to Mescaline and 2C-E, which are still considered strong molecules. These molecules have the potential to turn you upside down because it gives the possibility to dive in the darkest confines of its mind. When only one methoxy group of a 2Cx drug is cyclized into a 2c b fly dihydro-furan ring, the resulting compound is known as a “hemifly”, (and these could be termed 2- or 5- “hemis,” depending on where the single dihydro-furan ring is placed). And when an unsaturated furan ring is inserted, the compound is known as a “hemi-dragonfly”.

He loves all things psychedelics-related, from the mental health and spiritual aspects to the downright crazy and nonsensical trips. When experimenting with new drugs and substances, it’s important to prioritize your safety, even above your curiosity. As mentioned earlier, the only reported deaths from FLY turned out to be a completely different drug, so no true actual FLY deaths have ever been reported. However, that’s not to say there aren’t still risks to taking too high of a dose.

The incorporation of the two methoxy groups into the 5 member rings fixes them into the optimum position for binding to the receptors they interact with resulting in an increase in potency compared to the compound’s non-rigid counterpart 2C-B. The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 2C-B use have not been studied in any scientific context, and the exact toxic dose is unknown. 2C-B, or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromophenethylamine, is a substituted phenethylamine. Substituted phenethylamines are a chemical class of organic compounds that are based upon the phenethylamine structure, a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain. 2C-B possesses methoxy functional groups CH3O- attached to carbons R2 and R5 as well as a bromine atom attached to carbon R4 of the phenyl ring. In the United States, it gained popularity as an alternative to MDMA after the latter was classified as a Schedule I substance in 1985.

If you take the substance orally, stop eating at least 2-3 hours prior. If you eat food before you take 2C-B-Fly, you will most likely experience extreme nausea and may even vomit. Keep in mind that integration is even more important than the trip itself. However, it may fall under the scope of the Federal Analog Act if it is intended for human consumption given its similarity to 2C-B. 2C-B-FLY is a psychedelic phenethylamine, and is the dihydrodifuran analog of 2C-B. Most notably, lithium, cannabis, stimulants, and Tramadol are to be avoided when taking FLY.

Users should always do an “allergy test” before increasing the dose, which involves taking a very small dose first to see if they have any reaction. If the two people that tragically died as a result of overdosing on bromo-dragonFLY had done this, they would have found out on the allergy test that the substance they were using was active at a substantially lower dose than anticipated. 2C-B is the closest psychedelic in terms of both the chemical structure and the effect profile to 2C-B-FLY. However, despite the similarities, both compounds remain distinct from each other. The effects of this compound are distinct — meaning it is unique and has key differences to all other substances.

Subjective effects

You can interact with others without it being obvious that you’re experiencing the effects of a mind-altering substance. The overall sentiment for this compound is that it’s one of the most enjoyable of the research psychedelics. Ann Shulgin — wife of Alexander Shulgin and co-author of the books TiHKAL and PiHKAL — once stated that 2C-B-FLY was one of her favorite psychedelics.

When taken at the same dose, 2C-B is going to be a bit stronger in terms of the visuals, but 2C-B-FLY has stronger effects on the body. Users experience changes in the perception of vision and sound, mild to moderate introspection, and an expanded sense of empathy and euphoria. While many agree this compound is milder than 2C-B, LSD, and psilocybin in terms of the hallucinogenic potential, it’s still a formidable psychedelic in higher doses. 2C-B-FLY contains a 2C-B molecule at its core with two dihydrofuran rings attached to the central benzene ring.

However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive. In Belgium, 2C-B is a controlled substance making production, distribution, and possession illegal. 2C-B is controlled in Australia and on the list of substances subject to import and export controls (Appendix B). It was placed on Schedule One of the Drugs Misuse and Trafficking Act when it first came to notice in 1994, when in a showcase legal battle chemist R.
