Is 2C-E legal in Germany?

Also known as: eternity

Legal status

2C-E is listed in Germany under its own market name. The dossier records the Anlage I row of the Betäubungsmittelgesetz as „- | 2C-E | 2-(4-Ethyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanamin“, so the table carries the short designation in the second column and the full substituted ethanamine in the third. That is unusual enough to be worth saying plainly: the German schedule here adopts the same short form the substance is sold under, which removes the naming argument that often runs on phenethylamine cases. Placement is by BtMG § 1 Abs. 1 and the tier is Anlage I, the non-marketable one. The entry is direct, so nothing here depends on the 2C-B or 2C-I lines, and nothing here depends on the Neue-psychoaktive-Stoffe-Gesetz, which reaches phenethylamines by a structure group under a separate statute and separate penalties.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. The dossier's penalty column records that no death-penalty regime applies. The provisions named are BtMG §§ 29 bis 30a, and the dossier supplies one figure, the top of the range: not less than five years under § 30a Abs. 1, with StGB § 38 Abs. 2 capping a determinate sentence at fifteen years. No lower band is recorded, so none is stated. Because the second column is the market name, a seized sample is matched against the ethyl group at position four and the two methoxy groups at positions two and five, and the analytical answer to that is what produces the exposure rather than what the material was sold as.

If prescribed or medical

The prescription position follows the tier. Anlage I is the non-marketable tier of the three BtMG Anlagen, read at gesetze-im-internet.de on 21 September 2026, so no German prescription route exists for this substance and no foreign prescription substitutes for one. The dossier records no German traveller rule for narcotics in this row, so the cell defers on the documentation a traveller would need instead of describing a route it has not verified.

Documentation

No permit or prescription is available to carry. The record that matters is the analysis, since the schedule line is molecular and the shared short name across the 2C family is exactly where a misidentification would start. The entry was read on 20 September 2026.
