Risks of snorting 2C compounds?

Recently a person my friend gave some 2C-E to snorted about 20mgs and their liver failed. I did the same amount the same way, and other than feeling hotter than normal, I didnt feel any really negative effects. I was wondering if there are any known risks to snorting or doing large amounts of 2Cs or if that was just an isolated incident? I prefer the buzz of snorting them to dosing them (less of a body load I found) but I don't want to be risking my health any more than if I was dosing them just for a more "comfortable" trip.
 
I have never heard anything like that being the main concern with 2C's but it goes to show a lot of different things can go wrong.

Honestly I cannot answer your question but just wanted to say that if you don't want to risk any unforeseen complications you should not insufflate any common psychedelic, if you are talking about the 2C-X then some are more forgiving than others, like -B, -C, -D but this is primarily a psychological thing. I guess if that person with the failing liver had insufflated another 2C-X the same might very well have happened even though it is not heard of at all as far as I know.

Still as a rule of thumb insufflation causes a peak blood plasma level which will always increase your chances of adverse reactions.
You'd better just take them orally. I have never really seen much in the arguments of people insufflating the more potent psychedelics.

By the way: are you sure the 2C-E was the only thing this person had taken?? And what about a predisposition, are you aware of his previous drug habits?
 
Failed liver from 2C-E? What exactly happened to this person?

Altough majority of people prefer other routes of administration, there are quite a lot of people who snorted 2C, and they are fine.
 
The only risks I know of regarding snorting 2c's are the fact that they burn like fuck. Seriously, a kick to the face is preferable, or so I've heard.

Liver failure isn't something that 2C's cause, unless it's indirect (through elevated body temperature, etc). It takes a LOT to make someone's liver fail.
 
Due to deaths from large insufflated doses of 2c-t-7, I have been wary of insufflating large amounts. I don't think I'd ever snort 20mg at once. But that's just me, it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. I tend to play it safe as much as possible.
 
Only risks I am aware of is with the 2c-t-* series, and I thought that had to do more with their MAOi properties in combinations.

Although, snorting something like 2c-e or 2c-b can be very uncomfortable for even the experienced psychonaut. Coming up on a something with classical psychedelic properties in like 5-10 minutes=*head spins and heavy body load*

Also, doesn't really seem like 2c-e is your culprit because people snort things so it crosses the blood-brain barrier quicker without having to hit yr liver. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not on the up and up with macroscopic organ systems and metabolic processes.
 
One person from my country mistakenly took 87 mg 2C-E intranasally ,
few days after trip he get Deep vein thrombosis "DVT' . Fortunately he still live , but very long time come back to reality :)
 
Snorting 87mg of 2C-E "accidentally"?!? Holy fuck that must've stung just a smidge 8o

No laughing matter really but even reading that made me wince. I'm glad he came out okay <3

Gotta agree with Solipsis in just about everything he said up there though. Can't see how snorting any of the 2C's (2C-T-x aside possibly) could cause any real damage and certainly not cause instant liver failure. Eye-watering agony, yes. Liver failure, no. But am no doctor by any stretch.
 
I wasn't doubting it was a mistake - just wincing at how much that must've hurt. Snorting 10mg of 2C-E was the single most unpleasant thing I've ever subjected my poor nose to. Was the only thing I've ever had to run to the bathroom and try to flush out just to ease the agony from. Apart from that one time I tried to snort Seroxat... but that was just plain stoopid. And I was all of 18 at the time. Oh for the ignorance of youth...

Hey when I was 18 I smoke Zoloft in a blunt because I was told that it gets you high Unfortunately I did think that I was on 200mg (maximum dose) at the time. VERY BAD. My friend at the time also tried railing some. I've never seen anyone turn so red from the burning. I think most of us were very naive when we were 18 in regards to drugs.

As for the OP, I've never read of anyone having liver failure from insufflating 2Cs. I would think that it was a coincident, he had a pre-existing condition that the 2C aggravated, or he was just extremely unlucky, as I've never heard of anything like this previously.
 
You can't say that the insulfation of a substance caused liver failure as he could have had liver failure regardless of any substance ever entering his body. I would not take too much caution when snorting these as long as you can handle the burn.

However 2C-P burns like salt in an open wound being set on fire times ten and will hit you before the burn stops causing difficulty in the onset of the trip. Be careful with 2C-P.
 
I will say this, snorting 2c-t-2 4-5 times has caused me and my girlfriend to not be able to breath properly through our nose. Feels like something is stuck up there, blocking full airway.
