going to loose my 2C-E virginity

I'll leave you with a song I hope you get the opportunity to check out.

T + 8 mins or so...

Ok. Points taken. I've seen many comments about the slow come up, agreed.
I "feel" that I'm well versed in going with it. I didn't think that I would miss sensory effects at 12 but... I gave it brief consideration and went with 16 on the scale. Which could be 15 to 17.

May or may not check in during, but regardless, will summarize at some point afterwards.

 

Speaking of Tool. With every different psychedelic I take and listen to Lateralus I get a different sense of understanding. It's fucking awesome!

But anyway, With the head space that 2C-E provides I think it would be hard to get yourself into a bad place. I was ear to ear grinning the whole trip. I thought about my mom and her situation with cancer, my grandpa and his situation with his cancer, and how my dad was killed in his car accident. I am usually pretty emotional over all that feeling like it wasn't fair or that I was being punished for something and that I would be bitter and alone for the rest of my life but on 2C-E I realized none of that was my doing or my fault and even though it is unfortunate whenever my mom and grandpa do pass, they won't be suffering anymore and that I was pretty selfish throwing myself a pity party over it. I knew that I needed to enjoy the time I have left with them and finally get over my father's death which I had been carrying a lot of anger about for years now. He is no longer suffering through his bad alcoholism and depression. I learned that there is at least one good thing out of every bad thing no matter how unfair it seems or how bad it hurts and that life goes on.

 

+ 30 or so... definanetly something, though it's not a feeling im familiar with at all.
Picked out some music to put on to fill the house with sound. I'm going to go out and plant some california poppies while the sun is still out and await my friend.
Not to rub it in for any of the folks enduring a harsh winter, but it's a beautiful day outside. I work nights, so I savor the sunshine.

Peace

 

I don't know if you'll be back during your trip, but if you are, then I hope you listen to this song. It's easily one of my favorite songs for 2ce trips. I've posted it many times in threads regarding 2ce, and I'm sure some people are tired of me posting it, but I just can't help it. It's fucking amazing

^^^ YEAH! Listen to that song!

We (Most of the regular's here and SL) should start a commune or at least have some sort of annual meet up. I would love to chill with you guys.

 

It would be awesome, but it's been planned multiple times. I'd love to do it, if I could just save some money to make it happen. It's too hard to find/maintain employment these days.

 

Well, when I get rich I'll plan a road trip and come see you. Your not that far away really.

K, sry to derail thread. I'll shh now.

 

I'm gonna hold you to that Where do you live?

I hope this dude checks back during his trip. I wanna know the electricity is treating him

Yes ma'am, I'm in Georgia.

The Presidents kick ass, btw. I haven't heard Peaches in forever. lol

 

I've seen The presidents.

 

wow... i shouldn't have checked back in... you guys put too much stuff up to absorb...

I'm doing good... taking it in.

I watched two doves outside on a wire, cuddling and caring for each other, with the orange light from the sunset on their chests.... I could see and feel their love for each other. It's nice to see that.

I'm taking notes but really... its time to go with it and i will have to revisit your posts when I can

 

go with it, and revisit when you're sober. have a good time man

 

Have a good trip

 

well.... checkin in cause it felt like you guys were along for the ride after reading the earlier posts...

feels like just starting down from the platau... hmm, how do you spell that... er, peak.

I think GB said it right... its not particularly introspective. It's felt recreational and really, I cant say as there's been any negatives. A bit of stomach irratation but I wouldn't even say that its due to the trip.

I'm certainly thinking this would be good to explore more, even if i don't gain the change in perspective or the kind of insights I'd like in my life right now.

Music for one is amazing... I havent danced in years.

Not that I can dance.

My sitter headed out a little while ago, confidant that I'm no danger to myself or anyone else. She's a really good person and I'm glad she's still in my life. (we were together for 9 years)

This is a good reintroduction to psychedelia... it feels like familiar territory only different. I'm glad I heeded the advice to up the mg's a bit. It might have been just about optimum, if I judge it on a linear scale, which I understand isn't correct to do with twocy.

Thanks for the positive vibes guys...

 

Glad you had a good experience! what was the choice of music for the evening and how, if at all, did the sitter influence your trip?

 

Awesome. Glad you had a good trip And yes.....music is AMAZING on 2ce

 

Hey guys... slept good and waking up with some coffee and reflecting on yesterday and your posts.
It's really cool you guys posted stuff and came along vicariously.

I'll add a little comment to your posts cause if you took the time to write something its only polite to respond. It was awesome of you guys.

GB, Thanks for your youtube music, I've only had brief encounters with Tool, I should check them out more but truthfully, they weren't good for the headspace I felt.
I might date myself here, but the music I listened to was some Floyd dsothm, a bunch of sphongle, and some assorted tracks. Here's one that sounded amazing. I hope the neighbors thought so too.

I got the idea to watch a dvd I have also,

Those two guitar solo's are amazing. Particularly his use of the talkbox.

 

That part was good as well. I wouldn't say she influenced things much, except maybe in a positive way. The uncomfortable feeling of tripping around someone that isn't, wasn't very pronounced. It helps that we know each other well.
I had offered to buy her dinner beforehand, in the middle of peaking that seemed like a tall order, but also an adventure. After talking about it she decided she wanted tacos from the taco truck in town. That seemed like it would be a great adventure so I went along for 'the ride'. The "me tripping, everyone else is straight" feeling wasnt very strong.

I found that to be the case. I found it very easy to steer.
