Its all over the DNM's. Even in little old NZ, there are more 2c-b sellers/options on our market than meth or heroin. Kind of weird in that I'm yet to ever meet anyone who has done it, most have never heard of it. It seems to have secured a spot as a core psychedelic in these markets. LSD/mushrooms/DMT/2c-b. Those are abundant, other psychedelics are harder to find or less commonly available.
I read many mixed reports on 2c-e back in the day and ended up being put off, but always wanted to try 2c-b especially given it was Alexander Shulgins favorite chemical he created.
You've mentioned mescaline twice, is there some relation in chemical structure or something to it and 2c-b? I've done mescaline a dozen times or so and also loved it although I will probably never do it again as it goes for too long and the body load is a bit much for me. Beautiful visuals on mescaline though, and I always felt very clear headed - like I can totally think strait and my brain isn't all muddled.
I once did a mescaline trip with a friend. He vomited quite early and didn't get much of a trip but I was fully tripping. We were in a tiny beach town of like 20 houses and walked to the nearby beach and hung out on the smoothest rocks I've ever come across, stargazing. The ocean was right up to where I was on the rock but was completely still which was very weird for that area. Just a super calm beautiful clear night. The stars were connecting with lines making 'constellations'.. it was really, really wild. Probably one of my favourite visuals I've ever had was that experience. The best most memorable one was the malrboro man(ciggies) appearing through the stars as a constellation and giving me a big exaggerated wink. I was like wow, you too bro! I smoked malboro cigarettes at the time so assume thats where it came from.
Its very overrated/meh imo.
And ive done it at doses from 10mg-45mg.
At its best its decent when combined with either lsd/mdma/ket/nitrous.
It adds some of that phen warmth and nice visuals at higher doses.
But i would barely call it a true psychedelic, because it has ime zero introspection or any mindfuck going on.
Just a weird bodyload with minor euphoria compared to most good phens.
But that is just my and most my friends opinion.
I know a few people who loves it and do just 2cb with some weed regurlary.
Also lately there has been this pink powder available in my region.
Its called tussi and is some south American trend.
Its basicly 2cb/cocaine/ket/md/caffeine mixed into a pink powder.(my friend did a labtest, i have the exact ratios written somewhere, it was around 10% 2cb)
Alot of the trendy techno and house people love that shit.
Sounds sketchy as hell imo, but its probably alot better than plain 2cb if you wanna party.
