I have read some comments on some of the 2C-x family of psychedelics regarding their molecular stability and shelf life, but I am not sure if most of these compounds are indeed stable and can be kept for long periods of time. Does anyone know if saying that they are all exceptionally stable (some of them seem to be) compounds would be an inaccurate blanket statement??

I still have some 2c-i and 2c-e stashed away for almost a year now. For the large majority of this time they have both been stored in room temperature mostly away from light... the only exception to these (generally) optimal conditions would be when I took both stashes with me on a camping trip this summer. During this trip, both the 2c-e and 2c-i were kept in a dark container but for 5 days straight endured relatively extreme temperature changes, which worry me.

By 'extreme' temperature changes I mean the average day was about 85 degrees Fahrenheit, ~30 deg. Celsius, which shot down rather rapidly at night to about 55ish but I am not as concerned with the cooler nights as I am the hot summer days.

Being a camping trip I really could offer my poor RC's no shelter from the heat. Anybody know how much the materials may have degraded from that 5-day trip, or since then for that matter?? Also, while I am speaking of the 2C family I also have always wondered which 2C-x research chem most closely resembles Mescaline... I have never taken Peyote/Mesc so I have no basis for comparison. From what I understand most people feel like it would be 2c-t7 or 2c-e. Never tried t7 either so I wouldn't know. I do kno 2c-e is pretty damn intense!

You have nothing whatsoever to worry about with the 2ce, I can't speak from personal experience for slong term storage of 2ci but I'd bet someone elses granny that it'll be stable.
 
my 2c-e/2c-i has always stored very well.... Here in Texas our summers easily go up to 107-110... and I had the same batch when I lived in Illinois in freezing conditions... even took it on a plane.... After a year and a half absolutely no noticeable degradation. I think you're fine, man. :)
 
Thanks for the reassurance guys! I kinda figured this based on what I've read but was not sure. Plus with stuff like LSD and some other compounds being so goddamn fragile sometimes I never know what to think about taking precautions with exposure to the elements. Sometimes the whole hot/humid thing gets me OCD-paranoid with ALL drugs... even my Rx meds I don't like leaving them in the car on a hot or really cold day!!

I guess when you're not sure, it's better to be safe than sorry tho.

Anyone got a confident answer to the 2c-x/mescaline comparison?? I've always been curious to try mesc/peyote but it is NEVER around where I live.
 
Very stable. Nothing to worry about. Check out our Big & Dandy Chemical Storage thread fro more stability information.

As for mescaline your best bet is getting it from trichocereus species (san pedro, peruvian torch, etc.)

2C-x/ mesc comparison is very subjective. There are similarities and there are differences and it depends GREATLY on the specific 2C/x your talking about. Your best bet is reading the B&D threads/subthread on the chemical of your interest in the PD Index

I'm gonna pull the curtains on this one, feel free to ask any follow up question in the corresponding B&D :)
