Someone had graced me with some 2CB a good while back. (I swear Angels exist) I started with 18 mgs (Hbr) just to test the waters. I was surprised that it worked as well as it did because I see people talk of 35-45 mgs. Then I went 22, then 25, then 28. The higher the dose, the more visuals. Seems the intense part lasts the first 2 hours, then another 2 or 3 of jolly happy tripping. The first time I tried I remember reading here and other boards that the insightful spiritual part is absent from 2CB. Just at that moment my head spun in a colorful psychedelic way down a swirling vortex of insight that made me laugh. It was as if the 2CB was asking "what did I miss that another psychedelic would have given?" Seemed to have a sense of humor. It does seem gentler and easier to handle than say a strong dose of mushrooms or LSD. And I can see a cross between MDMA and real psychedelic effect. Typical phenethylamine persian carpet colorful visuals with neon blue, green, and yellow and purple standing out.
A few months later a good friend of ours had died. Since his wake and funeral was in another state some friends and I got together for a memorial. Sort of like a party he would have liked in dedication to him. I brought the extra 2CB and gave it out. The wonderful crazy thing is just thinking about the guy it felt like he was right there enjoying it with us. Very empathogenic. A great experience.
While I do think that 2CB is lighter than a traditional psychedelic, I think it can be insightful and deep at times. But yes, I would resort to mushrooms if one needs a deep deep spiritual healing. But don't discount 2CB completely for that. Any psychedelic can be insightful.
