B is for breathtaking

substance: 30mg 2c-b

set: happy after an eventful day

setting: my room at night / outdoors





This substance kicks in fast for me. 30 minutes after swallowing I was already feeling electricity course through all my muscles, had a big grin and was getting lost in music. At the 1.5 hour mark I had to lie down and close my eyes because it was getting too much. I lay there listening to music, feeling like I was on 100mg MDMA + half a shiva. I opened them and saw my ceiling slowly rippling and moving, every little bit of visual space making love to the ones near it.

Eventually I felt constrained by being in my room, something was telling me to be in nature, go outside, this is too much to be in your room on, too beautiful. I went outside and regretted almost immediately; going out in public was a good wake up call to just how inebriated I was : fucking highly. I walked through a dark forest and sat on a log and sparked a bowl. Shulman was too much. Random Lifelines (no longer on youtube, sad puppy), which I normally consider to be a fucking epic triumph of electronic music, was an impossibly rich landscape of sensation and interaction, not even music. I would often find myself not "listening to music" but rather walking through music, breathing in music, "doing music" in ten thousand variations. This is a very unique and insanely powerful and gorgeous form of synesthesia. The only thing I could think the whole time is "this is the phenethylamine LSD". I had finally sampled the triumph of the 2c-x series. Nothing compared. I was blown away that there were people out there who thought that my current state of mind should be illegal. This was a human nirvana. I could not believe the effect on music. I will try my best to communicate what 2c-b does to the senses but it's just . . . so complex and shockingly beautiful that I'm not sure I can put it in language.

I quickly realized it was not a good idea to be in public on this dose, my entire body felt like an ocean, waves of sensations crashing upon the shores of my cells, ripples coursing through my bones and muscles, warmth bubbling through my skin. I quickly walked home, feeling like i was going to float up off the ground at any moment in a psychedelic neon cloud of love and rhythm.

I got home and put on some music, but found it actually to be a little too intense and jarring. The 2c-b's impossibly sexy universe would sometimes part away and reveal a brutally honest introspective moment of truth, suprising me with it's directness and suddenness, but still being cushioned by the synaptic orgy going on in the background. I decided I needed to put on a very positive and trippy album and lie back down, so I went with The Flaming Lips.

This song captured the mood of 2c-b for me very well; langorous, sensual, hip, funky, rhythmic, emotional.

"Feeling . . . a synthetic kind of love"

I lost myself in this beautiful album, in the dark, experienced untold amounts of euphoria, sexual energy, love, empathy. No exaggeration, this was like what I imagine candy flipping to be. This has rocketed up easily to my #2 favorite substance.

I turned the lights back on and put on Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn, a powerful and strange work from a musical genius.

During these two albums I felt the trip had really reached it's peak, so like 2-3 hours into it. I was squirming in my bed, writhing slowly, touching my mattress and covers and hands in shock. The tactile sensations on 2c-b . . . what the fuck. what the FUCK. lol! Holy shit. You want sexy time? Forget LSD. Forget MDMA. Eat some fucking 2c-b if you dare.

There were almost no gastic issues, the biggest physiological side effect was temperature fluctuations. I eventually drifted off to sleep and didn't even know. Woke up this morning after a good sleep feeling refreshed, a touch foggy from last night, and wanting to experience this again, right away, and wanting to give this to my trip friend AAAASAP and do it with him, and do it with romantic company, and do it in nature during the day, and . . . .

No wonder the Shulgins used this in psychotherapy. To go through an experience of this beauty, of this magnitude, of this impossible, convoluted, complex, gentle, embracing warmth . . . any human being would have their depression lifted and some spark of love for life returned.

I can't praise this enough! Stellar. 10/10.

 

Good report man. I can't wait to try this. Maybe this'll have the deepness that I've found phens to be lacking.

I've actually been getting the 2c-e itch again. there is something about that substance, but I'm not sure what. Yeah, turns your brain into a hall of smoke and mirriors.

Sidetrack, yeah... I'm excited about B. Good report.

 

Great report and i agree 100%. The absolute best of the 2c's (not that i've tried much), 2cb is REALLY special. It is like a more psychedelic (low dose MDMA) candy flip and it is extremely erotic. For some reason, i have found Primus/Les Claypool and Grateful Dead/Furthur to mesh nicely with this phen . . .

Yeah, the febrile (temperature changes) effects are quite notable with 2cb - i am ALWAYS cold on this drug, which is kinda tough . . . .

Awesome the way your past experience worked to both maximize effects of the trip and to keep you both safe and comfortable.

i'm so glad you tried it Mr. Writer! What a wonderful experience.

 

This is exactly what I'm hoping to achieve with this substance. I've been highly interested in it as a psychotherapeutic tool ever since I first read PiHKAL. I can't say for sure yet, but I have a feeling I am better suited for 2c-b than MDMA. Unfortunately, I will probably only be able to acquire 1 dose of this, probably in my entire life. But from how you describe it, I may only need one dose to help plant the seed. Not that I wasn't already amped to try it, but this report really reminded me how special this chemical really is and I look forward to experiencing it hopefully within the next month.

 

Oh yeah. That's the shit you said you wont share. lol, well fuck.

 

One dose homie. You ain't done THAT much for me to make me consider just handing over that gem

 

One of these days I'm gonna need to find my own connect

 

I tend to stray from my normal trip music and opt for funky, uptempo, sensual music on 2cb, I also find it a very adaptable psychedelic. Good report Writer.

 

Hmmm... I only had one experience with 2C-B. It was surely not erotic or magical for me, but it was unique and malleable and very light-hearted. 2 ~13mg geltabs. I probably need to dose higher.

 

this makes me want some more 2c-b... 30mg is highest dose I took so far (and IMO it's dose where things become interesting, less than that is just not enough) and I love it... but there is still much more space to increase dose or try new combos. also 2c-b goes well with many things. and visuals are definitely better outdoor, no matter night or day. also sex is definitely fantastic .

I definitely suggest you try some combos.

2c-b + LSD = fantastic
2c-b + DOC = fantastic
2c-b + MDMA = fantastic (even I took low dose of 2c-b)
2c-b + breathing = fantastic

Also weed has strong influence on 2c-b trip. Even alcohol which I almost never drink goes well with 2c-b.

2c-b is true candy psychedelic and is so happy and sweat that it should be sold instead real candies

 

Damn. This just makes me really want to try 2c-b. Unfortunately, its legal status is probably going to make it unattainable for me. Guess I'll have to stick with 2ci and 2ce for my 2c-x fix.

Great TR. Glad you had such an awesome experience.

 

Nice report, Mr. Writer.

I have to restock on some 2C-B soon.

The only problem is that it's so damn expensive!

 

nice detailed report writer. i need to take higher doses of just 2cb. ive had it in combination with other things more than i've had it alone. i personally don't find it as erotic as mdma but it migh be my dosage.

 

damn, dude! sounds amazing.

behind LSD i presume?

 

was going to write up my trip report about my weekend experience with methylone and LSD but man its hard to follow this one up, good report sounds like a tasty time

 

Sounds like a possible candidate to try an RC....and I don't mean cola.

 

awwwwwwwwwwww this makes me sad + extremely envious if you know what I mean.

 

I absolutely cannot wait to combine this with LSD. Much more exciting than the prospect of MDMA and lucy.

fucking hell yes . . . man. I think I'm in love :coffee:

For sure, try upping it. I have no idea what lower doses are like but I'll try 15 or 20 some time and see whats missing there. MDMA is very lovey and emotionally connective and open hearted, this was just . . . this is like what I imagined MDA would be like (the real thing was disappointing for me). Truly all I can think of is LSD + MDMA to describe the effects of this one, ridiculous.

Yar LSD is still king psychedelic. But this one is #1 for "recreational" use no question. Like FoA said, this is a true "candy psychedelic", and I finally understand how that term can not be derogatory. This is now my default answer to "Hmm what should I trip on"

 

Ugh I was suppose to get 500mg of 2c-b, not anymore though, lost some money too!

 

sucks bro
