My semi-failed low dosage experiment with 2CB

[danieldefoe]

I wanted to try 2cb for the first time and wanted to experiment with low dosage from threshold going up...

I had the diluted the 2CB in vodka for precise measurement (see my other post about it) but although i did everything as planned my nerdy need for precision were disturbed by the fact that the 2CB came in a plastic bag and it was awfully difficult to empty the whole bag as some powder sticked to the bag...also i used a dropper which was sold before for some cough medicinal...but i found out it was very imprecise...another thing i found out just today is that the HBR salt version (the one i have) is slightly more heavy so it need something like 18% more to get the same effect ...
so all in all my measurement could have an error from -30% to +10%

i was on a nice short holiday in splendid small european city with my wife and decided to have a great day!!
we took each 100mg of MDMA and went on a quiet nice park in front of the sea at 13.00 o' clock...everything great...cuddling in the park walking around enjoing the beautyness of the city etc....
we were planning of taking 2CB around 18, on the tail of the MDMA as suggested by Mr. Shulgin itself and many other people...

For some logistics reason though we ended up taking the 2CB only at 21 the peak of MDMA was gone of course but i could still feel it somehow...
We started with a threshold dose of 5mg, and went out (we were back to the hotel by now) to see a small jazz concert on the street.....
After 30 min i could feel nothing, my wife felt a sort of smal buzz of energy ( she was very very tired after the md)...we took another 4 mg...
after another half an hour i still could feel nothing although the md effect was fading away in a very smooth and slow pleasant way...no negative effects at all... my wife on the other end could feel the 2cb kicking in and was having a really good time...
at about 22.30 i took another 5 mg reaching a total of 13 mg my wife another 4 mg so 12mg overall... at this point she was having a classical (for her) psychedelic experience , visuals and colours etc...and she was laughing at everything she was really having a ball....myself on the contrary i still could feel almost nothing at all ...except a small renovate boost of energy and the md seeming to grab on his tail...
i was disappointed because of the disconnection with my wife but all in all we had a great day and i was feeling good so i didnt want to do what was the most obvious thing to do which was taking another 5 or 10mg more...

As i said before my weighting calculation also could have been a bit wrong so it could have been 10 not 13 mg.....anyhow that seems to be below my threshold...and maybe the "power" of the md influenced that too..

Back to the hotel around 02.am we had sex (2cb is known to be very aphrodisiac) : it was good , sweet and powerful but maybe not in a "out the world" way......and not better then when we have sex after smoking charas anyway!!.... so i dont think the 2cb in my body was influencing that..

Next time i think i will start with 15mg and without md !!

You're not taking enough 2c-b to produce the desired effect, and it's kind of erratically spread out. 2c-b only lasts about 2-3 hours, so extending your dosing over a long period of time isn't likely to be very effective.

I understand your caution, but it's best (and less likely to produce anxiety) if you just take the required dose straight away, next time. Of course, with research chemicals it is good to do some tests to ensure you're not taking some kind of significantly more active chemical, but even then the whole point in doing that would be nulled by the fact that you redosed after just thirty minutes.

Now that you know you're not dealing with some DOx substabce, I'd suggest just taking a decent dose in one go. Its likely to be significantly more enjoyable.

In my experience 2c-b isn't really worth doing at any dose lower than 20mg. I'd say that anything below 18mg is inactive, and anything between 18-20mg produces little more than a mild body buzz, in my experience. My female friends have always required less in order to produce the same effect as my male counterparts, so bare that in mind (maybe the reason why your wife had more of an effect than you).

Well i always read that people have different sensibility to 2cb...for some 15mg is quite a trip...i have seen on the darkweb pressed pill of 14mg....i thought that was an honourable dose....
I wasnt scared that this was not the real thing, i was quite trusting of the source, i was just cautious in trying to much of a new thing and thought starting from threshold was the correct approach.
ALso i have to confess also that i was mostly curious to experiment the so called "nexus" aphrodisiac side of the effect while at the same time didnt want tripping too much...i presumed that a low dosage could help in this selection of the effect (presumption based on nothing really!)

The reason it's considered an aphrodisiac is because it's a very hedonistic substance with pronounced tactile effects. That's only really going to come with a pronounced dose.

In my experience 20mg has always been the reccomended go-to amount. I've taken 2c-b pills and they are quite often too weak and people end up taking more than one. I'd actually say that 22mg is my ideal dose.

Funny cause the pharmaceutical company Drittewelle was selling Nexus as an aphrodisiac in 10mg pills...!! i guess people were taking more then one always...

Yeah, 2-cb pills are in mine experience a lot weaker too..
And i guess you added too late the 2-cb in you're trip.
Heard alot that you should take the 2-cb if you want to take more within a half hour / hour. Or else it will do nothing or just a little.
Maybe it's a better idea if you just start with the 2-cb the next time and nothing else?
Guess it more easy to find you're ideal dosage for that then.

Yip, I reckon so. 2c-b doesn't just make you horny, like say GHB does. And it doesn't justbgive you an erection like Viagra does. It's just a very tactile entactogen.

2c-b is such a forgiving substance, its not too bad to overshoot your mark. I'd genuinely go with 18-20mg, weighed out on some 1mg digital scales. They Kore than suffice for weighing 2c-b.

2C-B is far and away the most erotic psychedelic I've done. My trips with it are often extremely sexual and it's not just due to the tactile effects, which are no doubt, second to none.

ive even done 1 mg bumps during an MDA trip and that little would give an added rush and some colors
