I have 25mg of this and I'm looking at trying it fairly soon - but since I prefer medium-high intensity trips I don't have much choice but to take the entire 25mg in one trip, so despite really wanting to try it already I'm a little stuck as to deciding where would be best to take it.
The four options I'm currently considering:
1) At some kind of festival once it's summer - this sounds best to me, but it'd be quite a wait!
2) Down the local pub (very weed/psychedelic friendly atmosphere, great electronic music most nights)
3) At home with a playlist of music specially prepared, probably laying in bed eyes closed most of the time.
4) Out walking through the woods
Any thoughts? :D
1. Festivals are awesome. 25mg is quite perfect for a festival. I had a body who ate more than 40mg of 2cb at a festival last summer. It was very intense for him. The rest of us at around 25mg... and a few hours later we ended up eating acid too. It was quite strong. I prefer acid at festivals. It gives me more energy than 2cb does.
2. If it is a psychedelic atmosphere the 2cb will probably go pretty well. I would probably go on an electronic music night. 25mg is a bit strong. I prefer to eat between 16 and 20 for this kind of atmosphere. All the same, it should be pretty manageable. There should be very little mind-fuck. I mostly just get emotional... I am flooded with thankfulness when I see a good show, hear a good set, have conversation with a close friend, and on and on. So this might be a nice atmosphere.
3. This works too. I would probably watch a couple movies too. Listen to music for a while, then watch a couple movies or vice versa. 2cb is nice when you are at home. Although I usually find it too weak to use at home. I'd prefer to use 2ce or 2c-t-x while at home. Eating it at home and relaxing, enjoying music will be nice, but you may want a friend. Socializing on 2cb is nice. Unlike (2), I prefer to eat more when I am in this environment - 30+mg. I like the patterning. In public doses above 30mg will make me feel a bit fucked up. At a festival it isn't so bad cause I can just dance it off. At home it is nice because I can just lay around and let the visuals engulf me.
4. The woods are wonderful. I've taken a variety of chems with me on my journeys through the woods. 2cs, mushrooms, deemstirs, tryptamines, acid, ecstasy, and whatever else. It always awesome. 25mg will probably be a perfect dose for this. Hiking will feel good. And if you start to trip out too much you can sit and reflect on the beauty.
All in all, you say you prefer medium-high intensity trips, and so you will probably enjoy the 25mg no matter what. I consider it to be a medium dose. Even when I was peaking on over 30mg I was able to sit down and have a normal dinner with my friend's family. It is a very chill mind set, and there isn't much in the way of mind-fuck. I don't think I have ever been hit with the mind-fuck.
My strongest trips with 2cb have been in combination with acid. And it usually makes the acid easier to handle. I once found myself in a 2-3 hour freakout while on acid. I ended the freakout by blowing 15mg of 2cb. The whole world lit up with a bright glow... and a big smile came across my face. My trip went from bad to great. It is funny how shit like that works. I doubt I'd have the same mentality nowadays... but that 2cb definitely saved me from 8 bleak hours.
Good luck and enjoy. It really is a wonderful chem. It is a definite favorite of mine, standing quite close to acid and mushrooms. It is easier to handle than each of those. I can't ever really see it going wrong. Maybe if I ate 50mg or so, but even then I think it would continue to be chill. Ha, I doubt I'd be able to see through the visuals though.
