British drug dealers are stopping selling ecstasy in favour of a new pill called 2C-I, 'a new drug that's a cross between pills and acid', according to a report in the latest issue of Mixmag.

"The drug (ecstasy) that changed our world in the 90s and made the Naughties all that more fun could see rough times ahead," Mixmag predicted.

"It's (2C-I) arrived at the right place at the right time. For clubbers bored with a drug that's been firing up their weekends for over a decade, 2C-I is a national mash-up waiting to happen."

2C-I was discovered by US pharmacologist, Dr Alexander Shulgin, who first popularised MDMA and synthesized over 200 other drugs, all of which he tested on himself.

"Most notable are the visuals, very colourful and active. Much more balanced emotional character, but still no feeling of insight, revelation, or progress toward the true meaning of the universe," said Dr Shulgin on swallowing 15mg of 2C-I (PIHKAL).

On 16mg, however, he noted 'an immediate alert within minutes' and 'some hallucinogenic activity, though not a lot.'

"My conversations were extremely clear and insightful, the degree of honesty was incredible," he said.

Mixmag warned that 2C-I is already classified as an illegal Class A drug in the UK (in line with heroin and cocaine) though concluded 'the next new drug fashion is long overdue.'
