2ci is a very 'Mature' psychedelic to me, physical effects aside. At the doses I've done it, it's a psychedelic I would enjoy having a roundtable discussion of serious issues. I don't seem to cave into my emotions or sensations or get wrapped up in my thoughts like MDMA, LSD, 2ce, etc. I acknowledge the presence of altered perception but that's about it usually, it's kind of viewing emotions, thoughts, and sensations from a detached perspective for me but I don't find it disassociating. Compared to 2cb I find my thought processes more restrained and orderly with 2ci which is good for the type of use I'm suggesting it would excel at.
I haven't really ever tried 2ci by itself, but the last time I tried it it was 40 mg 2ci with 40 mg 2ce. Visuals weren't very strong, most of the time I didn't even notice them hardly, and I didn't notice any change in the 2ce visuals from the 2ci. I did notice some extra stimulation, and it seemed to muddle my thought process a little. I also noticed it may have made the trip very slightly more trippy, in that I seemed to have some odd audio experiences on a couple occasions that I'm not sure about. I think next time I try 2ci, I'm taking 70+ mg by itself so I can actually get some visuals from it (like i did when i did 72 mg 2ci and 100 mg 2cc, had some amazing visuals for about an hour or 2 then they died down fairly quickly) ... and so that I can see what 2ci is like all by its lonesome. yes I know I'm a hard head, sorry it wasn't my choice I wish I could trip more easily off this stuff and be more average like I am with DMT where 70 mgs leaves me laying on the floor telling people to help me lay down even though I'm already on the ground (i think when i was looking parallel to the floor i felt like i was really on a wall looking down or soemthin and felt like i might fall, not sure), it was pretty intense, though the setting wasn't the best for that particular experience.
Yeah I was awake for about 8 hours after I stopped tripping off 25 mg 2CI... That stuff just keeps going and going, which isn't a problem if you have some benzos to hand! Yeah, higher dose 2CI is beautiful and stunning, no doubt, charged with electrical/ neon energy it seems, as oposed to the more subdued, pastel tones I found with B, after being awake for hours and hours after the last high dose, I too am reluctant to repeat it, although I'm sure I will go there agian some day.... It does seem a little more 'analytical' to me, but I haave yet to get any big revelations etc from it... I found it a little boring in that sense though, but when you start joking around, and lightening the mood, things can get VERY silly, light hearted and fun though... Out of the 2 I prefer B over all, less negatives for me (body load, stimulation etc)
I agree, we tried 40mg 2C-I once, trip was sick as hell. The only thing I hate is headache at the end of the trip.
Another high dose report making me eager to explore this compound at a higher dose. I can't say I've had any huge revelations from either of them, I too would prefer to have a bunch of 2cb over a bunch of 2ci to explore. Both of them can only stand on their own for so long until the trips get kind of redundant imo but I enjoy both trips and the physical effects (or lack thereof) of 2cb make it more preferable for me as well.
Very nice report! I know I haven't poked around in the Psychedelic forums for awhile, but this post really has me wanting to take a 2C-I trip again. Given that it was my FIRST real psychedelic experience, and that I have taken it enough to know the general effects, I think a trip within the next week and a half is in order! Of course, due to taking Zyprexa (like I mentioned in threads awhile ago), I have to stop taking the Zyprexa for two days ahead of time to allow for my 5-HT2A/2C receptors to become 'available' again.
Unfortunately, No :-( I have been VERY short on money in the past 4 months, so my hopes for some 2C-E (which YOU personally recommended), have taken a seat in the back for now. I'll be getting income in July again, so I can start 'collecting' RC's then!
I'm reluctant to go over 25 mg with this one though, as the body load got a bit uncomfortable (muscle tension at the back of the head?) after a while, and being awake for 18 hours wasn't too great, but with some benzos to hand I think I would be happy to repeat the experience... Lucky I don't have to choose which to explore though If you've only had 2CI, you should make sure one of your next experiences is with some LSD, awesome stuff!
Believe me, I would if I could! I am the only person I know who dabbles in psychedelia however. I always keep an ear open, though, because you never know who you might meet!
IMO, high dose insufflated 2c-i is the only way to make it worth while...expect muscle spasms for a while afterward [high being 50 or so mg ]
Damn, no way am I snorting that much after snorting 2cb and 2ce, I could go rectal with it though. Some of these other reports have me convinced that much oral may work for me.
nasal 2c-i wasn't NEARLY as bad as 2c-b or 2c-e...i'd say it's about on par with mdma as far as the burn goes. but the rapid onset was bewildering!
Actually, my 'breakthrough' session with 2C-I, and still most powerful to date, was 30mg insufflated. It burned so bad that I was crying my eyes out for 10 minutes. But, the whole time, I just kept thinking "It will be worth it!" And, then, 15 minutes in, as it stopped hurting, I started to get my first ever psychedelic visual effects, somewhat similar to the pattern set as the background to this thread (the red swirl with bright center wallpaper background).
