My experience with 2CI

Well, what can I say?! :2thumbsup: I got hold of a gram of the stuff and weighed it into 20 mg Bombs last Saturday, and must have dropped it (one bomb that is) about 6pm, along with a handful of friends - one who hadn't taken psychedelics before divided her bomb into 2 doses, as she was unsure how she would react - this was a good idea as she grew tired of the experience after a few hours. I have taken acid and 2cb quite a few times, so kind of knew what to expect.

The first thing I noticed was my energy levels shooting up, much like E, but not as intense or rushy, it was more noticeable because I had spent most of the afternoon smoking weed, the stonedness literally just dropped away. The visuals set in a short while after, at a very manageable level, I was completely up after maybe 1 1/2 hours - 2 hours and tripping nicely, lots of energetic swirls and patterns in every day objects, even the carpet was radiating a certain electric energy. At this level I found I could turn the visuals on and off as and when they got a little too intense.

I decided to increase the dose slightly at this point, so snorted a very small amount, which I estimate was <5mg (as did a couple of my friends who were more experienced with psychedelics) - this REALLY tipped me over the edge, everything was swirling, pulsing, and coursing with what seemed neon / electric energy, and my muscles in my legs started having bursts of energy. I didn't want to sit down for long, and stretching helped relax my muscles, for me this was one of the only down sides to the trip, as i couldn't just sit down and let my mind drift, instead I found myself wondering around the house getting distracted by anything and everything.

As the night wore on, the trip became more intense, and a lot less controllable, but I didn't find that I felt that I was losing my mind as I had with some of the stronger acid trips I have had. All in all, I had a great time on this fascinating chem, the visuals were crisp and clean, and for the most part my mind flowed effortlessly between thought processes without that 'tangled' feeling you can sometimes get when tripping hard.

I eventually stopped tripping about lunch time the next day, - this was the other downside to the trip - it all lasted around 18 hours, which was a little too long for my liking (but entirely my fault for taking so much!) and closing my eyes I could see what looked like planets orbiting each other - something i have read about at higher doses. By this point I wanted to sleep, but had no Valium in the house, which I was kicking myself for!

The moral of the story, if there is one, is to take a lower dosage, and to have some tranquilisers to hand for when you have had enough! I found this drug to be much more intense than 2cb, although looking back I don't remember what doses I took of that. Next time I will be taking 15 mg and NOT topping it up. I will also have a few tranqs to help me rest towards the end.

This is my first post on this forum, although I do visit here for advice on dosages etc from time to time. Feel free to comment, or add your own experiences.

Peace, love and unity,

Sounds like an amazing trip I'm surprised you tripped so hard, and so long, with such a small dose.

 

Yeah me too! It must be very pure! I still have TONS left as well, so I'm sure there will be many more fun times like this to be had! :sunny: I don't take drugs that often any more, besides weed... I kind of wrote this as a bit of a warning as well, because I m sure if I had had much more I would have gotten in some trouble... You can always take more, but you can't take less! Its also worth noting that I hadn't eaten much that day, so that may well have been a contributing factor!

One thing - do you know if 2ci denatures over time like acid? Would it be worth keeping it in the fridge / freezer?

 

It's best to keep it in a dark, cool place. The fridge is perfect. Keep it airtight and dry, also.

 

I too have tripped very hard off of a small dose of 2c-i for around 18 hours.
Found another online who got it from the same vendor who experienced the same thing.

 

Cool, will do. Its in my stash box at room temp at the moment, I'll find a corner of the fridge for it to live in :mickey:

 

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! It certainly was a lot more intense than I expected it to be... I guess that means my stash will last me a long time then he he! I was fucking kicking myself that I didn't have any tranqs around though, that would have made the experience perfect.

 

The main thing is to keep it airtight and away from heat. When I got my first order of 2ce, I stupidly left the bag open for a while, eventually closing it after I realized it was open, and it was also sitting close to a heat source(computer monitor), and it was almost completely inactive a few days later.

 

Its in a baggy, in a stash can, in the fridge now, hopefully that will keep it good and strong for a while! thanks for the advice! :afro:

 

Cool trip report Primal, you summed up the 2ci experience pretty well. Did you have a headache after the redose or just persisting stimulation?

 

Thanks I did get some muscle tension in my skull but besides that, not really, no. My girlfriend got a head ache about 12 or so hours in, but she only had a bomb and no top up like I did. I was just really awake, even after the visuals calmed down.

 

Great report, I too am surprised at the intensity and duration. Just curious, how would you compare 2c-i to 2c-b?

 

try to find a mason jar to put the baggy in. that's more tight than your 'stash can' probably. also, put some silica packets (find 'em in new shoes, beef jerky, etc) in the jar and put the jar in a brown paper bag to protect from light. and the whole thing in the fridge. that's how i keep my RCs anyways.

interesting report, thanks for contributing!

 

I got a lil airtight plastic box along with 10 bags of silica for pittance off of ebay.

2cs often give me a headache in the latter stages of the trip. My head always feels tired after tripping, but 2c-i/2c-e often I seem to have headaches.

This may be to do with the length of those trips and my not wearing glasses and thus getting eye strain or dehydration or a number of factors.

 

^^^finally, some who shared my pain! i get killer headaches on the comedown and into the next day from 2ce and 2cb.
others have suggested dehydration, but i try pretty hard to stay hydrated. i don't really think that's it.

 

Ive gotten headaches after 2ci but have not got one after 2ce as of yet.

 

the headache from 2ce seems to be more noticeable the next morning, probably because the trip lasts longer, so i'm basically tripping until i go to sleep...the after effects happen when i'm asleep and when i wake up.
but with 2cb, i've gotten a headache after 5 or 6 hours 3/4 times that i've done it (30, 36, 44 mg) 20 mg did not give me a headache, but barely made me trip

 

Mescaline gives me a headache sometimes too

Usually I feel great the following day after a mescaline trip though.

 

I haven't done 2cb in well over a year, but to my memory the trip was no where near as long or intense as the 2ci on a similar-ish dose. I was actually trying to get hold of some 2cb as well this time round, so I could do a bit of a comparison, but there wasn't any about

I'll get hold of an airtight box / jar today then, and a load of silica... :2thumbsup: Glad you enjoyed the report, it was interesting to put it into writing!

 

^^^yeah i really like writing reports just for the fact that i can go back and read it a year or two later. really helps me to integrate the experiences
