How rolly is 2C-I?

I've heard 2c-i being described as a cross between a psychedelic and ecstacy, but I was wondering exactly how mdma like it was.
I haven't tried mdma but I have done 2c-i, but only alone. Its body high was pretty similar to how mdma sounds in that respect, but I was alone so I really didn't get to experience the empathogenic side of it.
 
yeah for some reason a lot of people think 2c-I is like MDMA and it's not at all. The only thing they have in common is the stimulating euphoric properties. IMO, if you want to use 2C-I as an MDMA replacement, use 10-12 mg orally and smoke a lot of weed. IME this was close, but still way different. It's a very fun recreational drug but in higher doses can get a lot trippier and scarier than MDMA. If you want to roll, find some MDMA. If you want a light hearted trip with some cool visuals and little mindfuck, then eat some 2c-I.
 
On the tail end of some phens (2C-P and 2C-T-2) in particular the experience feels very roll like to me. But I wouldn't try to describe it to someone like that. I feel like the people who do describe it as 50% E and 50% acid are just trying to sell it.

^ Agreed. I haven't yet tried 2C-I, but of the ones I've tried, 2C-B, 2C-I, and 2C-P - though I can't really speak for 2C-B since it was in a combination, I don't think any of them really mimicked MDMA at all in their effects. Some of them had a wonderful euphoric body high, which is similar to one aspect of MDMA, but they totally lack the intense empathy, tactile sensations and the "rushes" that MDMA and similar drugs give you.
 
As was said before, it feels a lot different. I don't feel that 2c-i is that entactogenic either, it makes everything highly amusing and I really enjoy conversations, but I always feel a bit detached from others. MDMA is much different!
 
2C-I is nothing like MDMA. If I had to describe 2C-I using some sort of analogy, I'd say its more like mescaline that was made inside of a slightly-evil Genie's lamp.
 
first time i tried a 2c was 2ci... and indeed i was attracted to the apparent clear headedness some were describing... i found it not to be too agreable with my brain. i wouldnt say it resembles mdma much (or at all) other than that i has some stimulation. but then, so do all 2cs, and most psychedelics in general.
the definition roger gave resonates with me a bit (though i ve not tried mescaline) in that it seems to be a little mischevious, as if you could go to dark places with it...
 
^2c-e seemed alot worse in that aspect then my limited experience with 2c-i. The 2c-x class as a whole does seem a little sketchy but I still love them lol.

I was actually just going to write something like that. =D
 
For me 2c-i is about as empathogenic as MDMA is psychedelic. Although some might contend that MDMA has significant psychedelic properties it is primarily an empathogenic drug. Similarly 2c-i is primarily a psychedelic drug and you shouldn't go into it expecting strong or even noticeable empathogenic effects.
 
I don't really understand why you guys think 2c-i is 'slightly evil' though, what is wrong with it? I have only used it 3 times but it seemed fairly benign to me.
 
2ci is not even remotely close to rolling. (Other than the shitty stim feeling.)

You never rolled so you don't know the difference. But for an experienced roller to be looking for an alternative.... Give it up, you won't find it in RCs

You're right. Any "evil" feelings that one may attribute to the drug are actually coming from the mind. I've found that all psychedelics have the capability to elicit dark aspects, but only if that is the direction your mind is going in at the time.

Nobody is saying anything about finding an alternative to MDMA. The discussion is about other compounds (specifically 2C-I in this instance) which potentially produce an empathogenic effect, of which MDMA is only one, and not the only one. MDMA was an "RC" once too.
 
Exactly how I feel. As for entactogen properties, 2C-I does have that, but in a psychedelic sense. A light dose might make touch feel interesting or even erotic, but at higher, more psychedelic doses, I find myself spending several minutes trying to get spiders off me. The tactile sensations are too much in a way, and even though I know it is just the effect of the drug, I still chase bugs.

I've tried several drugs people hail as the next MDMA alternative, including very closely related amphetamines and cathinones, but none come close. Just as no psychedelic can quite substitute for LSD. The closest thing I've had to a non-MDMA "roll" type experience was with low-dose dissociative sessions. Even then, it is still WAY off.

Out of curiosity have you tried 6-APB? Also, at least for me, I'm not looking for a psychedelic substitute for LSD. I'm looking for something that is different. The only thing that for me substitutes for any other drug is 4-AcO-DMT and shrooms, but lots of people disagree with me on that one.
