====United Kingdom====
In the United Kingdom, 2C-E is a Class A controlled substance. The UK has the strictest laws in the EU on [[designer drugs]]. The Misuse Of Drugs Act was amended in 2002 to include a "catch most" clause outlawing every drug, and possible future drug, from the LSD ([[ergoline]]) and MDMA ([[phenethylamine]]) chemical families (including 2C-E). The amendment is a near verbatim quote from the books of the American biochemist [[Alexander Shulgin]], who obtained a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Shulgin, a former research chemist at the Dow Chemical Company, re-discovered the synthesis for MDMA in 1976 and published the syntheses for more than 200 phenethylamine compounds of his own invention, and 55 tryptamine compounds many of which were also his own invention. The Shulgins were motivated to release the synthesis information as a way to protect the public's access to information about psychedelic compounds, a goal Alexander Shulgin has noted many times.
