Then please don't try and get the 2C-I! I think you'll have more fun with the T-2. I know how much you liked 2C-T-7 and the T-2 resembles that the most.
While we all can react differently, I am very familiar with 2C-I, 2C-T-2, and 2C-T-7. I'd never chose to take 2C-T-2 again because I don't think it does anything special and the side-effects are horrible. I also don't like 2C-I as I get terrible headaches about half the times I take it. However, if I had to chose 2C-I or 2C-T-2...I'd take the 2C-I without a second thought. 2C-T-2 is (to me) a nasty drug. Although I get headaches with 2C-I, I still love the trip it gives and I've had many nice times with it.
But 2C-T-2; I've only had one nice time with it, but it
always gives me terrible nausea, a fairly strong bodyload, and sometimes a generalized "toxic" feeling. No plans to ever touch it again.
But again, I'm not recommending you try 2C-I or 2C-T-2. This is just my experience. I recommend you read all you can about both and make your own decision.
Have you tried 5-MeS-DMT yourself? I've been interested in effects more than stated in TIHKAL.
No, I was just pointing out that because iodine is below bromine on the periodic table doesn't mean two chemicals made with each will be similar. Sulfur is also directly below oxygen on the periodic table. Yet judging by TIHKAL, 5-MeO-DMT and 5-MeS-DMT are nothing alike.
And as previously stated, I don't think 2C-B and 2C-I are very much alike at all either. And I'm not the only one who thinks that. 2C-C and 2C-D are much more like 2C-B than 2C-I is. 2C-I (to me) has mental effects that remind me very much of 2C-T-2, but it's not quite as visual as 2C-T-2. And 2C-I is
much easier on the body than 2C-T-2. Although 2C-I is frequently said to be "stimulating" and to have a "bodyload", I don't think the side-effects are anything compared to what 2C-T-2 does.
It's just that damn headache that ruins 2C-I for me. Too bad too as I really liked 2C-I. I had so many beautiful experiences with it at the 14mg to 16mg level between late 2001 and late 2002. I think I had nearly a dozen total experiences with 2C-I in that time.
My last 2C-I trip, in October of 2002, I shared it with a friend new to phenethylamines, except for mescaline (as San Pedro) and MDMA. We had many profound moments that night. Much of the night was spent in the dark listening to classical music. The depth was almost LSD-like at times in the kind of visuals I got, and the mental effects, but it was without LSD's push. My friend thought it was more like LSD than the mescaline from his San Pedro experience.
Since that time though, I've discovered 2C-B, 2C-C, 2C-D and 2C-E which have made 2C-I basically obsolete. I'm hoping 2C-P and 2C-T-21 also prove useful. But I am sure glad for the times I had with 2C-I. It gave me a classic plus-four which has led me to decide to donate bone marrow, and many beautiful plus-threes.
I think my fondest moment was the time with my g/friend and two best friends (all of us dosed 2C-I at around the same level) and I was in the middle of Boulder stream on 16mg of 2C-I. And I just had this beautiful moment of "oneness" with the water of the creek passing by my legs, feeling completely connected to the stream, rocks, trees, and everything else in the park. Then I looked up and saw my friends and g/friend laughing, running around like kids, and just having a wonderful time. And I honestly started crying because it all felt so perfect and beautiful. It was one of those moments of such profundity and beauty, you just wish everyone could experience it once. And I was so thankful to the Universe for letting me feel those feelings of bliss and harmony. Great time.
