What are Smiles?
Smiles, chemically known as 2C-I, is a psychedelic drug that is has spread among the hallucinogenic drug community. The drug was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin, a psychopharmacologist, biochemists, and medicinal chemists, reported his experimental findings in his book called PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story (1991). Smiles are commonly sold as a powder, which can be mixed in a number of things such as candy, baked goods, and chocolate. Smiles have side effects common to bath salts as well as other hallucinogens that are still being researched; however, early studies have shown that they are highly dangerous.
Side Effects of Smiles
The side effects of smiles are extremely severe and long lasting, depending on the dosage that is taken. You can experience the symptoms of Smiles for up to 18 hours, and can be almost immediate. The side effects include intense visual hallucinations, nausea, vomiting, panic attacks, and anxiety. Other symptoms are dehydration and stroke. According to witnesses in a case that involved a young man in North Dakota who was experimenting with Smiles, he seemed “possessed,” and had “slammed his head into the ground.” Hours later, he stopped breathing. That 17 year old young man was later pronounced dead. Smiles, or 2C-I, was immediately banned and marked as a Schedule 1 drug. This means that smiles have no medical use, and are designed for recreational use with dangerous consequences.
