USE OF 2-Fluorodeschloroketamine

Research Chemical (RC) Use

• Pharmacological Studies: Occasionally used in preclinical research to study NMDA receptor antagonism or dissociative mechanisms, though published peer-reviewed studies are very limited.
• Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) research: It helps scientists understand how small changes (e.g., fluorination) affect the pharmacology of arylcyclohexylamines.

💊 2. Recreational Use

• Used for its dissociative, anesthetic, and hallucinogenic effects.
• Anecdotally reported to be longer-lasting and less euphoric than ketamine.
• Often compared to ketamine, with differences in onset, potency, and side effects.

⚠️ Risks & Safety Concerns

• Little to no clinical data exists about its safety, metabolism, or long-term effects.
• Toxicity is unknown; it may pose risks to the kidneys, bladder, and liver, similar to ketamine or worse.
• Psychological effects can include confusion, dissociation, memory loss, and psychosis.
• Potential for dependence, tolerance, and addiction.

🔍 Legal Status

• Varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be covered under analog or blanket psychoactive substance laws.
• Unregulated in others, which is why it’s sold online in gray markets as a “research chemical.”
