Fluorolintane

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Fluorolintane is a psychoactive drug that belongs to the dissociative class of substances. It is known for its potent anesthetic and hallucinogenic effects. Fluorolintane is a derivative of Phencyclidine (PCP), a powerful dissociative and hallucinogen that was once used in medical settings but is now primarily used recreationally.

Chemistry

Fluorolintane is a fluorinated derivative of lintane, a substance that is structurally related to PCP. The addition of a fluorine atom to the lintane molecule increases its potency and alters its effects. The exact chemical name of fluorolintane is 1-(1-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-phenylethyl)piperidine.

Pharmacology

Fluorolintane acts primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist. This means it blocks the action of the neurotransmitter glutamate at NMDA receptors in the brain. This blockade results in a disconnection of sensory input from the external environment, leading to the characteristic dissociative effects of the drug.

Effects

The effects of fluorolintane can be intense and unpredictable. They may include dissociation, hallucinations, delusions, and a sense of detachment from reality. Some users report experiencing out-of-body experiences or entering alternate realities. The effects can last for several hours, and the after-effects can persist for days.

Risks

The use of fluorolintane carries significant risks. These include psychosis, addiction, and physical harm due to impaired judgment and coordination. There is also a risk of overdose, which can result in severe respiratory depression, coma, and death.

Legal Status

The legal status of fluorolintane varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it is classified as a controlled substance and its possession, sale, and use are illegal.
