2-Fluoroamphetamine (2-FA) is a stimulant drug from the amphetamine family which has been sold as a designer drug. Rösner P, Quednow B, Girreser U, Junge T Isomeric fluoro-methoxy-phenylalkylamines: a new series of controlled-substance analogues (designer drugs) Forensic Science International 148 2–3 143–156 March 2005 15639609 10.1016/j.forsciint.2004.05.003 2-Fluoroamphetamine differs from 3-fluoroamphetamine and 4-fluoroamphetamine in the position of the fluorine atom on the aromatic ring, making them positional isomers of one another. The replacement of a hydrogen atom with a fluorine atom in certain compounds to facilitate passage through the blood–brain barrier, as is desirable in central nervous system pharmaceutical agents, is a common practice due to the corresponding increase in lipophilicity granted by this substitution.

Legal status
United States
The Federal Analogue Act, 21 U.S.C. § 813, is a section of the United States Controlled Substances Act, allowing any chemical "substantially similar" to an illegal drug (in Schedule I or II) to be treated as if it were also in Schedule I or II, but only if it is intended (ref 1) for human consumption. 2-FA may be considered to be an analog of amphetamine, thus falling under the Federal Analog Act, if, as stated above, it is intended for human consumption.
China
As of October 2015 2-FA is a controlled substance in China.http://www.sfda.gov.cn/WS01/CL0056/130753.html 关于印发《非药用类麻醉药品和精神药品列管办法》的通知 China Food and Drug Administration 27 September 2015 zh 1 October 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20151001222554/http://www.sfda.gov.cn/WS01/CL0056/130753.html 1 October 2015 dead
Finland
Scheduled in the "government decree on substances, preparations and plants considered to be narcotic drugs" and is hence illegal.https://www.finlex.fi/fi/lainsaadanto/2008/543 Valtioneuvoston asetus huumausaineina pidettävistä aineista, valmisteista ja kasveista | 543/2008 | Lainsäädäntö | Finlex Finlex.fi June 12, 2026
