100% agreed on NOT snorting 2C-B (or any 2C-X). It hurts far more than any other drug to snort, it's horrible, ruins the trip and takes 20-30 minutes to finally be able to focus on something other than pain. It's more stimulating and rough physically when you snort it, too, and less mentally interesting. Oral really works the best, but if you want to cut the dose in half, plugging is MUCH better, it produces a trip that is qualitatively similar to oral, but cuts the dose in half and comes up very fast with a rush. And reduces the bodyload compared to oral, rather than increases it like snorting.
Had 25 mgs of 2C-B this morning at 10:00AM. It had been 3 year since I reached for 2C-B. Been reaching for LSD or 4-ACO-DMT the last two years when I wanted to trip. I think some of the funniest parts of my day is when the 2C-B seemed to pointing out some big insights and was like "See! See!" It was quite comical. Showed me it was a contender. And it was, great insight today. I was going to take acid but the weather is sort of cloudy and raining with just moments of sun today. So I decided to go for a shorter trip with 2C-B. It did not disappoint nor was it shallow. My hats off to 2C-B. Any psychedelic can be deep and helpful. I wonder where the notion that 2C-B is shallow came from, the stuff is gold as it keeps getting use. I feel bad for waiting 3 years. But trips have to be planned and the correct psychedelic has to be chosen. 2C-B ways reminded of those Persian carpet visuals. This was my first daytime 2C-B trip. I usually take that one at night.
I think I also decided I need to trip more. It always refreshes. Before this trip upstate my wife was like you do what you have to do to get your head together. Life can wear a person down. Almost went for cactus but needed something with half the duration and 2C-B carries some of the cactus spirit.
The last time I took 2-B, it really showed me its colors and I had a very strong, very powerful, and deep trip. I used 20mg of MXE as a launching pad, which obviously potentiated it, as I knew it would, but boy did it ever. I took 30mg of 2C-B, I redosed an hour in with 10mg more (20 + 10). I was at a show. By the end of it I was peaking hard, and couldn't talk, I just followed my friends around and our sober friend was driving. The visuals were out of this world, and I had an ecstatic and beautiful concert experience. It was a bit too much for me after the music ended, but I managed, and then spent the next 5 or 6 hours at my friend's (my bandmate's) house, listening to music and discussing it. It was extremely profound, everything we listened to was like listening to it the first time, with very grounded and profound insights into culture and specifically I was thinking about how all this old music would have been like and meant to the people when it was new music. I finally "got" The Beachboys, as we listened to Pet Sounds. I had always wanted to "get it", but never did, somehow.
That trip really elevated my understanding of 2C-B, as well, and its potential. Increasingly over the years it has become more and more powerful for me, back in the day, I could take 40mg and just get a nice, light recreational trip, but the last few times I've taken it, it's really knocked my socks off.
