Acute Effects of the Novel Psychoactive Drug 2C-B on Emotions

This open-label study (n=20) in healthy volunteers found that a 20mg self-administered dose of 2C-B produced predominantly positive subjective effects, including euphoria and mild hallucinogenic states, reduced anger, and caused mild cardiovascular stimulation, while also increasing reactivity to negative emotional stimuli and impairing recognition of happiness, supporting its classification as an entactogen with psychedelic properties.

Pharmacology of Hallucinations: Several Mechanisms for One Single Symptom?

This review (2014) examines the commonalities and differences across hallucinations occurring in schizophrenia and in response to psychostimulants, psychedelics, and dissociative anesthetics. They identify three principal pharmacological mechanisms activation of dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs) with psychostimulants, (2) activation of serotonin 5HT2A receptors (HT2ARs) with psychedelics, and (3) blockage of glutamate NMDA receptors (NMDARs) with dissociative anesthetics, each of which explains different aspects of clinically observed hallucinations amongst patients with schizophrenia.
