Just out of interest: how many people on here who say 2C-E makes them feel sick are using it with an antihistamine or a serotonergic anti-emetic?
The key here is it's being used as an ancillary med for 2C-E; tolerance to which builds very rapidly (typical of psychedelics). It's just not practical to use this combination regularly enough for codeine addiction to become an issue.
Lots of people like to drink alcohol while tripping... some even take benzos during or afterwards for anxiety or sleep. For all intents and purposes codeine seems like a better alternative. Why kill a trip when you can have something that smooths it out AND adds to the euphoria and visuals?
Your theory about the side effects makes sense - that's why I never take codeine or psychedelics other than DOM without an antihistamine (cyclizine or promethazine).
25I made me feel like absolute shit, even though I'd taken promethazine beforehand. I took some codeine and as soon as it kicked in, the body load went away and I felt great. Codeine is quite a strong painkiller so if you can control the histamine then really it should stop the unpleasant physical side effects from psychedelics.
I see what you mean.Yeah, I guess I can see how recommending opiates is maybe counter to HR or something? Because of potential addiction? But that really doesn't sound like a problematic suggestion. There's no interaction and it's likely to smooth out the trip. Seems like a fine recommendation.

Yeah I can be guilty of that sometimes. It baffles me how people find this stuff so uncomfortable - it almost makes me wonder if the bag of 2C-E I bought was actually 2C-E LOL.yeah not only because of addiction potential, but also because of possible side effects (nausea, histaminic reactions), which can be magnified by the psychedelic. again, AA sees his own (positive) reaction to something and assumes that it will be alright for everybody.
