Yeah, that is certainly true, which is why I was at first surprised to see it listed as an MDMA-like drug because my experiences had always been more LSD-like and most people I'd seen on the stuff were acting pretty weird. Maybe I was acting weird too, but I was having fun. Got the giggles for awhile, I think more people thought I was on MDMA because I wouldn't shut up and found everything funny. Actually it's kind of like being stoned, but having heaps of energy.
I did do a teeny tiny dose though, like I just dipped my finger in a dregs bag. Then later on I re-dosed with a few more mg and the stoning effect was enhanced, but not psychedelic effects. I could see how it could go down hill though as I wanted to take more, which would have resulted in a trip. Luckily I have reasonably good self control.
Best to use a mg scale. I have one and weighed out 7mg for my boyfriend, which seemed to be the right dose for a mild trip.
I had the dregs from his bag, so 3mg. So if you can weigh it accurately you should be able to achieve the MDMA high. I actually found it more fun than MDMA, but maybe because I've been using MDMA for too long. Certainly had that 'magic' that MDMA has, maybe an extra spark too. Reminded me of MDA a lot, although MDA is more gung ho.
2cb is very speedy though. When my boyfriend first tried a 5mg dose we were at home having drinks with friends and he disappeared for awhile during the come up. I found him pacing around in his room trying to unload all the energy - just walking around his room with this big stupid grin on his face. He was happy as a pig in mud, but it was very weird. And then when he finally sat down, his foot wouldn't stop tapping up and down like a jack hammer - like someone tweaking. So yeah, it can make you a bit of social retard, but you're not anxious about it like with acid (although some people can get anxious on higher doses). But people taking 2cb should be aware you probably want to be at a party or a club or something and not just alone in your room.
