What got you into RC's?

lol to be honest for me it was stumble-upon it sent me to a page about Shulgin and after I read up on him I became very interested inthe 2c-xs and then stumble-upon had the grace to send me here and the rest was history!

 

Somehow I googled 'drug forums' or something along those lines, and someone was kind of enough list all such popular communities, like hipforums, bluelight.ru, shoomery, etc. When I got to BL and HF, it was immediately apparent that everyone was in on something.. :grouphug:

 

haha wat got me into the rc world? someone trying to sell me synthetic mescaline that happened to be 2c-b. i loved it so much i kept eating it for 3 days.

 

I took an interesting path.

I was very into LSD and mushrooms (and some "DOM microdots", and "Synthetic Mesc" microdots. The synthetic mescaline was probably acid...I'm not sure with the DOM (aka STP)) way back between 1986-1993. I went to a lot of dead shows, and did one tour in Summer 1991. Towards the end of that time, most of my friends were starting to move away from psychedelics and mostly stuck with weed. As time went on, somehow, without necessarily making a concious decision, I finished up the last of my acid, and stopped pursuing it. My connections from then are long gone, and I still have some friends from then, but they aren't interested much. (Although I did get a few to trip on shrooms somewhat recently, which they loved.)

(Acid was very strong back then. One hit could really be profound. There were these red harts that were increadible once. I went though a vial of acid which was great, and many sheets.)

So....since then, it was mostly excessive weed smoking, with very few breaks.

Then I heard about Salvia, maybe 3 years ago. I really couldn't believe it and got some soon after I heard about it. I was amazed that I could just order than and smoke it. I turned on a few friends who were also overwelmed. Now, I think salvia is interesting, but don't do it because it is more of a disassociative to me than tripping...I have some, but it's just stored away.

While enjoying salvia, I got some cactus chips, and did them a few times. The first time, I was so happy to be back in the saddle. It reminded me of why I loved psychedelics so much.

I started frequenting a few forums, and when I heard you could actually extract your own DMT, I was dumbfounded and excited. I had read about DMT back in the day and fantasized about taking it. It really blew my mind that I could get the materials and produce freebase DMT myself. The process is like stretching your own canvas if you're an oil painter...it somehow makes it even more meaning full. After having success with that I was sold. Fully back into the scene.

I went to a festival and got some LSD too, and got a good shroom connection where I can pretty much get as much as I want all the time, and have been tripping pretty frequently since then.

I had heard about RCs during this whole re-awakening process, and met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while at a mutual friend's wedding, and he was a erowid addict too, so we discussed all this stuff. I remember saying how I couldn't believe I missed the whole RC thing when you could order it from a number of places in the US easily...but that maybe that was good, because I would have been likely to over-experiment.

I found my first RC site, and they had a sale, so I figured...what the hell. I got some 2ci and 2ce. I've actually only tried the 2ci and have them stored away. (I have acid and shrooms available, so I'm more into those.)

Of course, I'm still a weed addict.....when I have it I smoke it all the time. I have since going back on the psychedelics, been able to stop (for instance I haven't in weeks right now....but I just got a call from a friend yesterday, so I'll probably get some soon.) So, I had to try the synth cannabinoids and tried JWH-018 and CP5xxx whatever, which were very fun...but I abused them and finished them up in weeks like I do weed.

I've recently tried DPT, which I've heard about for a while, and that was fun.

My favorites are still the non RC stuff. DMT and LSD. But, I'm an experiementer, so I'll always be interested in everything.

I don't know what's gotten into me, but I've been making these long posts lately....I feel like I'm on speed once I start typing...maybe it's the lack of weed. But, I definitely feel better when I'm not baked 24 hours a day!

(Oh, and I love Gin....never did before...but good gin with a couple olives is nice, and there's rarely a hangover if it's good gin and you drink it straight.)

That's my drug life story.

 

A few years ago, I got very into experimental psychology and altered states of consciousness. Through interest in LSD, I was introduced to the writings of Shulgin.

 

well i've been interested in psychedelics since i was quite young. started in health class i think, when we were learning that acid made you hallucinate and you couldn't OD, i was like...sounds good to me!

well i tried shrooms and acid in the early years of college. by "tried" i mean ate them mostly every chance i got, which wasn't often. the shit is just hard for me to come by. i usually had the weed hookup, but it was tough to find acid and shrooms. i usually just waited til i heard about them being around, and then tried to get some.

i've been coming to hipforums since before i first tripped. so one day, i noticed these synthetic drugs forum and got interested. i also read about RCs on erowid. i had heard by word of mouth about things like DMT and "foxy." i had tried salvia two or three times. so i ended up finding a vendor for 2ce last summer/fall and had my first trail with it on nov 1st 2008. 250 mgs are gone now though (yea i ate it kinda fast, but i probably gave away like 50 mg)
i have 100 mgs of 2cb which i plan on eating this spring/summer with two of my friends who've never tried RCs, just acid and shrooms. i have 5 doses of 2cb.
DMT sounds crazy as hell, i'd try it maybe. i really wanna try 4acodmt, i've thought about 5meodmt cuz my one source has it...

i'm gonna take it somewhat easy though. i don't need to try every thing out there. that'd be tough.

 

Shulgin

 

Three years ago, while on LSD I got introduced to Shulgin in a conversation with someone at a concert....been hooked since.

 

Through Erowid...I remember reading about DXM and then clicked back onto "Chemicals" and was blown away by the sheer number of different psychedelic tryptamines/phenethylamines out there.

Most of them said they had "limited availability" through online suppliers, so I started searching. After I came back to reality after ordering 23mgs of 2C-E, I remember thinking "wow, this is what my life has been missing so far!"

And the journey is still continuing

 

SWIM stumbled upon an entry on PIKHAL and started getting into the whole background of Shulgin.
He decided after a bit of time with the natural tryptamine thing to give RCs a shot.
Still looking for a 2C-I source tho. :tongue:

 

Definitely through erowid and shulgins books. then this site added to it a little, it definitely got me into finding sources for my hobby.

 

Well I would say about ten years ago i was given some LSD and it was really nice, then I could never find it when i wanted to expand, so I started looking things up on erowid and aMT became my quest. I studied and researched until I was ready for it. The rest is history!

 

Also Erowid here, studying some of the more known ones stumbled onto the chemical page like damn, what the fuck are all these letters and numbers lol. That little research chemical icon on erowid used to scare me and kept me away for A little longer after that but after I stumbled on one of the well known vendors it was inevitable to try one. Then came the first try with 2C-T-7, spectacular

 

My cousin's ramblings about AMT and 5-MeO-AMT is what originally got me interested in RC's. I started doing research on the internet and was reading up on various RC's. Then I started reading about 2ce, in particular, and was so intrigued that I just had to figure out how to find some, so I searched and searched, with no avail. Finally, someone was kind enough to point me in the direction of some sources and, since then, it's been on like Donkey Kong. lol

My RC experience is still rather limited, as I have only tried 2ce, 2ci, 2cb, and a couple of DOx's. I plan on partaking in some DPT, sometime, as it is one of the chems that sounds the most impressive, as far as visuals and depth. I am interested in trying some of the 2c-t's someday, as well.

 

^^how'd you like 2cb? i will be trying it soon. my only reference point as far as RCs go is 2ce..

 

Well, as I mentioned in the convo thread, I've only tried it once and it was in combination with a DOx, and some 2ce later in the trip, so I have no clue how 2cb is by itself. I could definitely tell that I prefer 2ce though. It just depends on the type of trip you prefer, basically. If you prefer a lighter, more euphoric and social trip, then 2cb is for you. If you prefer a complete psychedelic soul-thrashing experience, then 2ce pwns 2cb, from what I could tell.

 

whoops i dunno how i missed that

 

lol I may be remembering something that I didn't actually post. Not sure. haha

 

^^nah i went back and looked. sometimes it seems like i'll skip an entire post somehow.

 

It's hard not to miss some posts in the convo threads. lol
