Tucibi (2CB), a new designer drug

The Tucibi is a designer drug. This type of drug was born between 1970 and 1980 in hundreds of clandestine laboratories in the United States, because during that time, in the North American country, the sale of hallucinogens was prohibited. In the clandestine laboratories they began to synthesize chemical compounds similar in structure and effect to the prohibited drugs. Design drugs are obtained through chemical processes of greater or lesser complexity. Evidently, The objective of the drug dealers of design is to do business and escape coercive controls .


At that time, when a new synthetic drug was discovered, the American authorities included them in the lists of prohibited substances. In 1987, when the US government amended the Controlled Substance Act, any substance similar to a banned substance also began to be considered prohibited. Later, the World Health Organization adopted the same decision, giving it an international validity.

There are three types of designer drugs:

  • Substances that mimic the effects of opioids (for example, Goodfella or New Heroin)
  • Substances that replace cocaine (for example, Crystal caine or Synth coke)
  • Original substances due to the novelty of their effects (For example, Ecstasy or LSD)

The Tucibi (also called Venus) belongs to the third group of designer drugs.

Characteristics of 2CB

Tucibi (2C-B) or 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenylethylamine (also called: α-demethyl-DOB, BDMPEA, MFT, Erox, Venus, Nexus) is a psychedelic phenylethylamine of the 2C family. Alexander Shulgin synthesized it for the first time in 1974. The dose varies between 16 and 24 mg, and is usually consumed in powder (presented with small bags in which printed figures appear, for example, colored drawings, the S of Superman, skulls, etc.), although it can also be consumed in tablets or capsules.

The effects of this substance combine those of two other well-known designer drugs: MDMA and LSD. Even so, its hallucinogenic effects are not as potent as those of LSD, and the stimulants are not as intense as those of MDMA. At low doses, the stimulating effects predominate, while at high doses the psychedelic effects become more noticeable. The effects usually last between 4 and 8 hours.
