In its origin, 2C-B was introduced as a solution for erectile dysfunction and as a libido enhancer. Mainly in nightclubs and certain headshops, you could buy it as a sexual stimulant. It was manufactured legally by certain factories and sold under brand names such as Nexus, Performax and Erox. After MDMA went on the Schedule I list in the United States in 1985, 2C-B became even more popular. By 1995, due to its pronounced potential for misuse and the absence of accepted medical applications, the United States Drug Enforcement Agency classified 2C-B, as a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance.
In the early 2000’s there was another spike in popularity due to the rising popularity of research chemicals and the emergence of the illegal market on the darknet.
