I think this applies for the 2C-X series in general in that they have a malleable level of depth to them. Of course it's dose and drug dependent as with some of the 2C-X series there's quite a level of mental depth even at lower doses, but at least those I've tried (2C-B, 2C-E, 2C-P, 2C-T-2 and bk-2C-B) all felt like I could focus less on introspection and more on being lucid and just seeing the visual candy and not wading in so to speak, or focus on diving right in at the deep end and taking even the lower end doses quite mentally deep, with extremely intricate thought-trains, creativity like nothing else and even a somewhat tryptamine-like "mindfuck" if I pushed them hard enough and allowed myself to fully immerse myself in the complete experience.
It's why I've learned to appreciate say lower doses of 2C-E for example a lot more over time than I do high ones, because at high doses it sort of throws me into either a shallow but extremely intense rollercoaster-ride or a deep "lets be the next Nietzsche" level of thought without me having much say in the matter, and there's a certain element of chance as to which way it goes, with it being seemingly more random and less set/setting dependent than say tryptamines. At say 8-12mg though, I'm fully capable of deciding the direction I want to go with the trip, and even with 8mg I can go incredibly deep.. but I can also just dip my toes in and enjoy looking at the trees and flowers for a while without too much thought involved.
Interestingly I actually find 2C-B less easy to control than 2C-E, and if I do end up going in the direction of deep thought and introspection during a trip I'm more likely to be stuck with it - but that could be because with 2C-B I'm a fan of taking around 40mg, and with 2C-E I've also had a ton more experience with it than I have with 2C-B.
2C-E was a bit like a wild animal for me, when you first meet it, it's wild and unruly, and can have a bit of a nasty bite to it sometimes too, or simply the trip can seemingly not want to show its full nature to you. As you spend more time with 2C-E, each trip you get to know it a little better, get to know the tricks of making a trip go in the specific direction you want, how best to prepare for a trip, and the best uses for each trip; suddenly the wild animal is more tame and listens to your command, and you're able to be the director of your own trip, rather than sitting in the back-seat just hoping that it unfolds the way you want.
