I would say 2C-D can definitely have a stimulating edge to it. Although I find there can be significant variability with 2C-D in terms of amount of stimulation experienced from trip to trip with similar doses. Somtimes it feels kind of like a lesser 2C-E body load with the same muscle stiffness and an almost MDMA like feel in the body, with "hand clenching" instead of jaw clenching. Alongside this stimulation, there is also a paradoxical calming, where I usually just feel like lying down, chilling out, and trying to be as relaxed as possible. I think it could be stimulating in other ways too...
which brings me to this next point:
another thread I was just reading reminded me of this experience I had fairly recently, that I thought I should share with bluelight. It was after a night of drinking and MDMA and heavy dancing that this happened. It was the same night I wrote about earlier where I also puked up blood....
Long story short...I did 2 pills of MDMA at the bar, probbaly haf 8 drinks over the course of the night. After the bar closed and I went home, I (stupidly) ate a third pill of MDMA, and swallowed a gelcap with 25 mgs of 2C-D.
This combination felt dangerously straining on my heart. After I took the third pill and 2C-D, my heart started going VERY fast and pouding ridiculously hard for some time, maybe an hour or two. I didn't really take any notes and look at the time, because I was just trying to lie down on my couch and chill the fuck out and breath. Mentally, I was pretty calm and knew I'd be okay, but I had a few moments of trying to check my pulse and couldn't really get the count right because I was too fucked up. It was not pleasant.
I think 2C-D is mostly pretty harmless.....but seeing as how it has a reputation for being good "tofu" that combines well with other drugs, and compared with the number of problems I see arising with 2C-D. Some of you may know about a Canadian Vendor that has recently been shut down by the canadian government because some kids overdosed on 2C-D.
Also, a few reports in erowid have showed up recently where people took 2C-D and mixed it with other thigns and it didn't turn out so good.

and here's an older one, with again,what seems like it "could" be heart problems. although I'm no doctor, and this is thin stuff to make claims about the medical condition of this dude.

So i'm not saying that 2C-D is going to give you a heart attack. Just a couple of things to think about before people choose to go making all kinds of 2C-D Tofu. Maybe in certain individuals, 2C-D is especially stimulating for the heart. Or in combination with other drugs, and booze (like what I did). I'll be the first to admit it was pretty stupid to mix 3 pills, mdma, and a heavy dose of alcohol (for me), but I did what I did and learned from it.
I think 2C-D is something best enjoyed on it's own. It mixes realllllly nice with ketamine though, i gotta say. If you plug 2C-D it's got a comparble timeline to a nice little ketamine session. After the 2C-D rocket ride settles down bump a big fat bump of k and helllllllo swirling rainbow vortex.
Be safe and have fun everyone !!
