I seem to have misplaced my scale, and I don't have time to get another one. What are some good ways to measure a dosage without a scale? Will dissolving 100mg of 2ci into 100ml of water work?
If you know it's 100mg for sure, then yes. It has to be distilled water, and doses will be approximate, maybe +/- 2mg or something small.
Please be very, very careful. This seems shaky/nebulous, given how active 2ci is. The water thing might work - i don't know enough about phen chemistry to comment - just make sure you can precisely dose mLs . . . A more classic, and even more sketchy method is the good 'ole eyeball trick. You have a pile of 100 mgs. Split it into 2 very even piles, 50 mgs each, split one of those into 2 very even piles, 25 mgs each, . . . . you get the idea . . . i'd label my work or note each dose somehow if i was going to use this method more than once so that i could know each time what my approx. starting amount of material is. Obviously, each time one does this, the measurement becomes less accurate than the previous . . . Please invest in a new scale soon . . .
Spicey Cat, I know i have asked this before but can you recommend a good affordable mg scale? I am currently in the market for one and I dont want to pay out the yang for one but at the same time I dont want a piece of junk.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10515 the scale actually works well, and its only 23 bucks!
That's basically the same scale I have, except mine only goes up to 10g. I got it for around $15 on ebay. I actually just found my scale. I went on a long road trip and forgot where I put it before I left. Had me a nice bowl and thought about where I put it and it just popped into my head. The only bad thing about the scale is it isn't very accurate, when I measure something and just let it sit there, the scale starts counting up, even after a calibration (I'm thinking maybe the fan and/or a/c in my room is causing this). I'm just going to measure out 14mg on that scale and hope it's not 5-10 mg off.
If its your first time with 2ci I say split it into 5 'equal' piles and take a 1/5. 2ci is quality at the 20 mg range, it probably won't be a life changing experience but it has some emotional depth like a mild ecstasy high and visuals on par with a couple grams of mushrooms at that dose for me. I've found visuals are more prominent during the day with 2ci. I had this friend take 40 mgs her first time and it was her first psych and she thought she was dying and didn't enjoy it all that much.
^^did she blame you at all? i guess it's just as much her fault. hopefully you're sure of the weight of the 100 mg. liquid measurement is gonna be more accurate than eyeballing it. not that 2ci is probably very dangerous if you take too much, it could be overwhelming. but i'm just a fan of knowing my dose. i'd rather know i took precisely 20 mg than ~20 mg.
this is what i found from my few trials with 2ci alone as well. dosing 2ci without a scale isn't dangerous if your taking 100 mg and dividing it up into 5 doses. but like pork mentioned knowing it was actually a 100 mg pile at first is what makes it "safe"
Thanks for the tips guys. One more question. Would 2c-i be fine to take if I'm going to be stuck in my room all night? I got plenty of music and movies, and of course my computer. I've done 2c-e a couple times before, and if it less intense than that, and doesn't make you really uncomfortable, I should be fine.
Its less intense than 2ce at similar dosages but I'll say it again for a first time I recommend taking it during the day. 2ci's color intensification, shading and other visual effects are not seen and felt nearly as much in the dark I've found. Music sounds great on it, especially electronic music because the rigid synthetic beats match the rigid synthetic quality of 2ci. You may feel slightly weighed down with a like (only way I can describe it) metallic taste/sensation in your throat but body load is not bad and the drug is fairly euphoric and stimulating. If possible definitely take it during the day though.
First time I dosed 2c-i was in my room with undesireables present in the house. I ended up feeling claustrophobic 3 hours in despite my plethora of music, movies and video games. Didn't have a bad trip just spent the rest of the experience in that confused state of half-sleep that happens when you try to sleep on psychs. In regards to the dosing, 2c-i is very forgiving and one may not even notice the difference between 35-65 depending on how sensitive you are to 2c-x's.
Hpe u didnt do what i did first time i tried it Got 200mg or thats what it said on the advice of a friend shipped from HK when they were still legal. Having no scales or common sense concerning RC's at the time i just dabbed my finger in the bag and rubbed it on my gums. After an hour and no effects thinking id been screwed i did the same again with a fairly larger amount. After that there was a large blank spot (my GF filled the detail in) and i was stlll tripping for hours. A guesstimate at what i took would be 100-150mg. My advice would be get scales n start low see how it works out. Daytime is a nice time for 2c-x but for me i got better visuals at night in a low-lit room listining to some chill out music
Around here we really like 2c-i. Many people i know prefer it over lsd. I have pushed the dose pretty high and it can get quite intense. 2c-i is alot more forgiving than some other 2c's but the dosage curve is still steep. 30mg is a lot more intense than 20mg, more so than you would think. I have eaten way more than 30mg before but had a wicked tolerance, to someone with no tolerance it would probably blow their ass away.
