Phenethylamines How can I purify 2C-B at home?

[scientificMETHood]

I picked up a few points of 2c-b recently. It is pink-ish in color. So that's good apparently? Idk if I would bother washing. How much do you need for it to be worthwhile?

I tried the product and it seemed good to me, but I can't compare it to nething else as it was my first time doing it.

I think pink is also bromine just barely any. After my friends first wash it was pink.

How toxic is that stuff? I just read the wikipedia page for it, and from what I understand it shouldn't be harmful in trace amounts. But all of it is some complicated jazz and I don't feel like I got a direct answer.

Obviously white whould be the preference. Hope I can score some one day!

Sounds like that fake "tusi" crap the kids are using these days that is just a random mixture of stuff like Ketamine, mdma, cathoines, ect or what ever the dealer has on hand cut with pink food coloring powder that pretty much never has any actual 2c-b in it.

A many years ago some cartel members kidnapped a South American 2c-b chemist to try and force him to give them his recipe. They realized they weren't capable of making it themselves so they just started selling some random mixtures of drugs cut with food coloring and called it "tusibi".

 

[IronBaphomet]

Ehhh fuck my life if that's the case.

But the place I got it from actually sells all this stuff separatly so I don't know why they would do shit like that. To resell their leftovers..?

Edit : I need to get sum reagent tests

 

[IronBaphomet]

I will add that it didn't feel like any of these drugs either. Still I don't feel reassured.

It is pink-ish in color.

Honestly pink is somewhat normal. I have seen the pink 2C-B just get darker over time which again, suggests it's not elemental bromine as an impurity. It's probably some brominated side product that is more prone to oxidation and goes darker and darker over time.

The Tucci/tussi is neon pink and obviously dye.

Do the anhydrous acetone wash and you'll get snow white. I promise you it's more effective, more efficient, and a lot simpler than following the garbage ai prompt saying to do an acid base.

But yeah pick up a reagent kit (marquis) they aren't particularly expensive. It will go lime green -> Forest green -> blue -> clear.

Fun fact is 2C-H never goes blue.

 

[Didgital]

So my friend did the acetone process and apparently a lot of brown liquid came off! The powder went from brown to beige. So thank you Loss was 15%.

Do you have any recommendations for 2CB HbR? I'm guessing the solubility is different.

Um most* 2C-B is HBr rather than HCL. To get the HCL one has to freebase the 2C-B HBr and then react it with hydrochloric acid it's a whole nother step and unless you really believe the HCL hits different (i actually do) it's not worth it for most people to do the conversion.

Super happy you had success, I bet you could wash it even farther. You can wash it until the acetone comes out COMPLETELY clear and then you know you can't really purify it beyond that with that particular method. 2C-B HCL/HBr has such a low solubility in acetone that the 15% you lost was garbage. You lost minimal 2C-B.

The acetone has to be absolutely anhydrous and I described how to do this in my very first comment in the thread. If there is any water in the acetone, it will start to dissolve the 2C-B salt whether its HBr or HCL. Acetone from the hardware store frequently has small amounts of water. Do not trust it to be anhydrous.

nah I do not think it is elemental bromine. If it was you could air the 2C-B out and the color would disappear. It's a brominated side product (what I don't know).

That's unfortunate, I hope there isn't too much of this shit in circulation and that there are some legit chemists remaining.

That's not quite the true story but close enough. You can google to find more details. But what really happened was as the street people learned they couldn't just make 2C-B, they started buying ketamine from the vets and coloring it pink and calling it tussi.

The actual cartel was able to replicate actual 2C-B synthesis afaik.

Colombia’s lone producer of potent designer drug 2C-B captured - Colombia News

A recently captured drug trafficker was on Wednesday revealed to be the “lone” Colombian producer of a popular designer drug. Hector Mario Urdinola, alias “Chicho,” nephew of deceased mafia boss Ivan Urdinola of the Norte del Valle cartel and one of the leaders of the notorious neo-paramilitary...

Thanks for the reassurance. I will def get it tested.

May I ask for a place where you can order such tests (in Canada) or that's against the rules? Mods you may wipe this comment away if it's not tolerated.

Here is some additional description of the product in the meanwhile, so we could rule out (or not) what it is.

It's a bit granular in texture
The come up (snorted) is fairly fast - about 20 mins. The burn is pretty bad, but lasts no more than 10 mins. The high is fairly clear headed and has some strong, wavy visuals. Reminds me of L much more than X. It doesn't make me touchy or empathic really (which I hear true 2cb should be?). The high snorted is about 4 hours long.

It seems more active intranasal than orally, although I've taken it only once orally. Can't comment on the oral duration as I had a bunch of substances in my system that time.

How did it feel?

Fuckmeatheclub Pink pepto bismol is tusi. Pink light like p hibiscus probably isn't.

test the drugs

there is likely few drug testing if you are in a city

Sounds very much like 2C-B. Oral is generally a lot smoother.

Looks like you can easily buy one off of amazon.ca

You could theoretically make your own marquis reagent its super simple (but dangerous). 100mL sulfuric acid (needs to be clear or close to) chilled in an ice bath, and 5 mL of formaldehyde dripped in.. If it gets too warm then the formaldehyde starts to react and darken the reagent. The acid will burn the clothes right off you so I do not recommend everyone make their own. Wear gloves and PPE if you choose to do so.

Thanks a lot. Will order one from amazon and also send a sample to a drug testing service.

That custom marquis reagent seems interesting and practical but I'll just keep it as informative stuff. I don't like messing with chems at all as I am a bit of a sloppy person.

Right. And the professional way to do it is to pinch a car battery. It's preschool mate:

1. Find car
2. Smash window
3. Pop bonnet
4. Cut car battery cables with hacksaw or bolt cutters (can steal this too)
5. Take battery
6. Cut open battery and scoop that uni out

Voila enough sulfuiric for tests for the town.

And if you need formaldehyde, well the morgue has that for free too.

Harm reduction for the community fellas, eyes on the prize!

Lmao
Sulfuric and formaldehyde also avail on amazon.

Home made kits cost probably $1.20 while a bunk police kit in us is more like $30.

It really is as simple as dripping formaldehyde into cold sulfuric.

I doubt* car battery sulfuric is high quality.
Can also buy sulfuric at hardware store but its usually brown which defeats the point as you are making colorimetric tests.

I forgot to mention I have had some 2c-b that has had sort of a lightish pink hue to it. It's good to test it just to be sure. Been a really long time since I had bought or used any of that stuff just heard allot of that fake crap is in circulation these days. I usually had just ordered it online. Thankfully the only times I bought it on the street was from some nerdy honor student who sold in responsibly weighed out capsules. This was a really long time ago before that "tusi" crap was all around.

Thankfully I still have some 2c-b and other 2c-xs stashed away if I ever decide to trip again.

 

[IronBaphomet]

So I decided to have a lil fun on this halloween weekend...

Ate 200 mgs MDA over the course of a few hours. Then railed somewhere between 15-25 mgs 2c-b. It really kicked in some crazy visuals that I didn't have before snorting. In retrospect, I'd find it incredibly hard to believe this is anything else than the real deal. The euphoria combined with the MDA is just on an other level.

Will still proceed with the testing in upcoming weeks for the sake of science and this thread.

Now... back to purification discussion

The reason I brought up making your own kits, is because there's actually some locations that testing kits are illegal and are considered drug paraphernalia. It never hurts to be able make something super useful from basic chemistry.
