bk-2c-B
bk-2C-B is a psychedelic substance of the phenethylamine class and a β-keto derivative of 2C-B. Richard Glennon and colleagues first reported it in the scientific literature in 2004, and it later appeared as a novel designer drug on European markets in 2013. While it did not generate significant excitement upon its appearance, it remained consistently available and was sampled by a relatively large number of users. The drug is administered orally.
