I'm one of those weirdo's that prefers 2CB (and other phenethylamines) to LSD as a psychedelic. Imo there's nothing L does that other drugs can't do better.
The serotonin release of MDMA is uncomfortable for me as well, I don't get "up" I get comfy and down, it gives me no energy. It is nice at times for communicating but the crash isn't worth it. So I rarely take straight empathogens.
2Cx drugs are just better all around substances that don't crash me out as hard, and if I really want a heavy trip, well there are tryptamines for that. The visuals from phenethylamines are the best
too, kinda similar to L. But it retains some of the physical warmth of MDxx without being overbearing.
This isn't to say LSD isn't fun or cool, but just after so many times with all of them, LSD has been unreliable in effects and feels cold and anxiety producing.
