The Big & Dandy 2C-C Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm just sick and tired of people denying and marginalizing any perspective that they are unfamiliar with. You initially took zero effort to understand his posts and rather blatantly and rudely dismissed them. I just didn't want ignorance to steamroll Colin, so I voiced my support.

IMO what I criticized was actually central to the issue. Your blindness to the meaning of his posts, disregarding to the possibility that oh wait, maybe this guy knows something I don't, and to go out of your way to call it BS was the height of arrogance.

Being right and saying so isn't arrogance.
 
I insufflated 8mg of 2c-c last night, around 6pm. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. I didn't get items shape-shifting like I see on other 2c-x's. Instead it seemed like the walls were being slowly pushed toward me or something. Music was greatly enhanced, and closing my eyes caused my imagination to spiral everywhere. Excellent synergy with cannabis.

It's a bit strange though -- I believe I am still slightly feeling the effects now (15 hours later). Tracers are still visible. Closing my eyes is still a bit enjoyable (the darkness seems brighter or something). This is only about my 8th trip or so on psychedelics, so maybe I am just imagining things.
 
Took 60mg last night. Only about 4 days from my previous experience at 40mg, so I expected some tolerance. However, I didn't really experience any tolerance, and this was by a wide margin the most impressive experience i've had with this chemical. The mental aspect was still somewhat light, but i enjoy that in certain circumstances. There also seems to be a slight positive push i hadn't noticed at lower levels, but that could just be me. Finally found a dosage level that suits me, and I'm definitely glad because i really like the way this one makes my body feel but had been a bit visually & mentally unimpressed in my first two experiences.
 
I was trying to avoid weighing in on this, but jeez guys, you've totally derailed the thread... which i'm now going to contribute to...

ColinGibs: You're overestimating the commonality of your experience. This is a common social psychological phenomenon. Everyone will not experience the same chemical in the same way due to a number of physical and psychological factors. This doesn't make someone else's experience less valid than yours, its just someone else's experience. Secondly, the descriptor "intense" is, in this sense, ultimately a matter of opinion, thus neither right or wrong.
 
Major dude, it's not overestimating when it's fact. There are some things you cannot change. Like how humans are biologically structured and how people's realities are formed off a controlled society.

Citation please. I read the whole discussion, and you make a lot of claims of fact that are utterly unsupported. While i agree with you that socialization plays an extremely important role in the way people perceive things, and that socialization varies from culture to culture, the way you relate that to 2c-c has no empirical basis.

I said "intense" as to try to relate it to what D9THC said on the previous page. He was the one looking for "intensity". The overall "trip" of the drug is just different. And leaves much more to your OWN drive of intelligence, awareness, and creativity than other "pushier" psychs. Less push for people who aren't normally as "open" leaves much more room to hide in your comfort zone and just chill and not have as much fun, especially if your a person who uses psychs to create your experiences instead of creating experiences with psychs. It's all coming from you. And since this drug isn't making you go along as much as the others, combined with your expections perhaps, it's pretty obvious why some people think that way and others don't, even to the uneducated reader. It just leaves a LOT more up to you. Which is amazing IMO and many others. Resisting body loads on those psychs is much more uncomfortable and often times thus forces the user to extend..

I agree wholeheartedly with the underlined sections, however the bold section is incorrect. Some of its coming from a drug, otherwise drugs would be useless. Furthermore, if you choose to use meditative or spiritual practices to drive a 2c-c experience, then the intensity is at least partially, if not wholly, coming from that, and not the pharmacological action of the drug. I don't think that's bad by any means, and quite interesting to boot, but that is obviously different than an experience with a drug & not those practices.

Any major dude, read above. Don't play into the ignorance. I'm not talking about experience. We're humans. We're all connected. Just because you don't understand things doesn't mean you have to throw out or believe a generic call such as that, and actually think about it. Read and think dude. Seriously lol. Not trying to sound knowitally. You just don't know so you pull that out. Don't bother dude it just hinders your own enlightenment... We're evolving into a new species.

This paragraph doesn't make much sense. I did read above. I'm not playing into ignorance. No one said we weren't humans, and in some senses, yes we are all connected, but that really has no bearing on this conversation. I read constantly. And if you really weren't trying to sound "knowitally," epic fail. This is one of the most condescending posts I've read on BL outside of some of the ethnobotany threads ;). Again, we may be evolving into a new species, but evolutionary time is so long as to have no bearing on this conversation.

You really should have avoided weighing in on this. Your point was already brought up and stamped down. Since you think of yourself as "one major dude" and you're from the Dirty South capital U.S.A. Those single things alone make you a candidate for someone who would need more or need practice to appreciate this tool.

Are you referring to yourself or 2c-c... just kidding, but sorry I had to... I don't think you meant it to, but those couple sentences came of quite prickish. Also, any major dude is the name of a steely dan song I like, and I'm originally from the east coast, I live and go to school in the south right now b/c its one of the most inexpensive places to live. And the point wasn't stamped down, I think D9THC just felt like he was talking to a wall because you won't really listen to anyone elses opinion. You just glance over it and restate your opinion, in effect waiting for your turn to talk. My basis for thinking that is that in this long & rambling post you don't even address what I said at all, even after quoting my message. Additionally, your use of the word single to refer to more than one thing, in addition to various other structural & grammatical issues make some of your thoughts all but incomprehensible (they may well be anyway) and tend to make me want to take you less seriously (yes, its possible).

Which you actually did. The positive push that time was just you. The fact that you needed to basically still be in the afterglow from a previous dose and had to take a pretty high dose to finally appreciate it more indicate that you really should be looking as to whyyy you should have to do that. You had the ability to enjoy your experiences just as much the first time, you just hold yourself back in many ways, which manifests physically and come's from the physical you. This time, you took a lot and let your mind go more. So you're resisting the blasts in your previous experiences. Not really the right way to use psychs. Sounds like you have some underlying issues that you're avoiding..

Maybe the positive push was me, maybe it was the drug, there isn't any way to know, so don't pretend to. I never said I didn't appreciate the lower doses, just that they weren't specifically what I was looking for at the time... I wasn't resisting the blasts in my previous experiences, I just personally find this drug to be lighter on the mind than others. That isn't a bad thing, all drugs are different, and that is one of this ones differences. Several of my friends have referred to it as a "psychedelic light," which I agree with personally, but other people may not experience it this way. I wouldn't say that makes them wrong.

And again, wow, that last part really comes off as condescending. I don't think you're ideas are all bad, but the way you present them with a smug sense of superiority is borderline disgusting. This is the type of shit that makes me want to go all Eric Cartman on you hippies... done

so if it's a fact, why don't you cite some good scientific papers that say so? anything that cannot be proven cannot be accepted as fact. the age of enlightenment lies a few hundred year in the past...
or is this a case of "it's a fact because i know it to be true and i'm a much more enlightened and more spiritual person than all those ignorant people around me"?

sorry for being offensive, but this PD and not P&S, where the majority of the content of your posts would imho fit much better.

unfair, you were much faster than i was ;)
 
back on topic....



So I am hopefully going to try some 2c-c this weekend and it will hopefully be my first profound or 'breakthrough' experience with psychedelics. I have tried acid twice and both times it was weak shit if it was even LSD and barely did anything, did salvia several times and it did what it was but was far from enjoyable, I have given DXM a chance and hate it with a passion, I have enjoyed nitrous quite a bit in the past but it is definitely lacking in many departments, and I have a few experiences with ectascy and the first was too intense and felt very dirty and I just wanted it to end like I did with high plateau DXM trips, and the other times it was underwhelming.

I really want to have a good psychedelic trip that has some length and positive pleasant effects and experience some good visuals. I hope this is a good choice to start with and the quality/purity thing won't be an issue being an RC. I know 20mg oral would be a good starting point with this but what would you say the maximum dose someone like me should take their first time? I would also be willing to plug this if there aren't really any down sides, I always prefer to take the most efficient ROA to get the most out of substances and save money.

I am also curious to know if anyone has experience IVing or IMing 2c-c or other 2c-xx's for that matter. How much does it shorten the duration and what is an appropriate dose? Does IMing lengthen the duration a bit? RCs like these are the only non pharmaceutical made-for-injection drugs I would consider IMing due to the purity and small dose you are putting into your muscle which I would imagine presents a very low risk in terms of developing an abscess or other complication.

Thanks, seriously:)

Yeah, street lsd is notoriously unreliable these days, salvia's usually at least marginally unpleasant, and IMO, DXM totally blows. Nitrous is fun, but I usually use it as an add on, and not an end in itself. Might be good to do while on 2c-c... and MDxx's are fun but not really psychedelic.

2c-c doesn't last terribly long compared with other psychs. 4-6hrs usuall, and maybe 8 if you take a lot and/or metabolize it more slowly than average, as for the latter, only one way to find out;). I'd still recommend 20mg as a good starter dose, its actually about 5mg more than I took the first time I tried it. However, i didn't see any risk of a freakout at 40mg, and became only slightly anxious during the comeup with 60mg (these are all oral dosages). Its pretty forgiving material, but as always YMMV. Plugging tends to increase potency by1/3 to 1/2 in general with 2c-x's. There's a plugging specific thread, but I don't really know whats in there b/c I've never plugged anything.

I am also curious to know if anyone has experience IVing or IMing 2c-c or other 2c-xx's for that matter. How much does it shorten the duration and what is an appropriate dose? Does IMing lengthen the duration a bit? RCs like these are the only non pharmaceutical made-for-injection drugs I would consider IMing due to the purity and small dose you are putting into your muscle which I would imagine presents a very low risk in terms of developing an abscess or other complication.

I've read that IMing 2c-x causes quite the burn. I've snorted a few and if its anything comparable to that I'd avoid it, but that's just me. In the interest of safety it would be best to start out with an oral dose to get a feel for the chemical before getting into more potent & intense ROAs, IMO.
 
^At most IMing 2C-E stings a little in my experience, and 2C-E is reportedly among the worst for insufflation. In a recent thread I believe Obryon commented there was no sting. The thread title was something like "Injecting psychedelic RCs (2C-E)". IMing can double the potency or even more, with many reporting 5 mg of 2C-E as a strong trip (20 mg oral is a typical strong dose). I can't speak for 2C-C but tread lightly.
 
Yes, back on topic...:)

@Oxymorphone

If this going to be the first 2C-X you've tried? From your post it seems like it. Because of that, you should definitely go with the oral route first before trying any of the other methods just to see how you react to a standard oral dose.

Rectal administration (if your willing to try that) of 2C-C (well, any 2C really) is actually a little better than oral IMO. It takes about half the dose so it can really conserve your stash as well which is especially useful with 2C-C because it is about half as potent as 2C-I and costs about the same.

The thing is with RA the come up can be a bit abrupt and it gives me more jitters and restlessness. This disappears fairly quickly and is replaced with a nice gentle euphoria and relaxation. I get the same sequence on oral but the stages are less acute.

RA does eliminate the nausea of all 2Cs but that isn't a problem with 2C-C for me. It's mostly for 2C-E which I will not do orally because it is just very unpleasant for my stomach and general GI system and makes it difficult to enjoy the trip.

I can't speak about IM because I have never injected myself with anything. I'm too much of a pussy ;)

I think 20-25mg oral is the perfect starting dose. It will give you a good feel for the chemical and how you react to it.

---

Anyway, I took 2C-C over the weekend while I was house sitting for my parents. I dosed 30mg oral and had an absolutely lovely trip. It was the morning after that huge snowstorm here in the north east. It was sunny out and all the snow was melting off the trees and dripping to the ground creating a very cool ambience. I was walking through the snow in my big ass boots with a giant grin on my face =D<3

Looking at all the trees absolutely covered in a thick blanket of snow was pretty breathtaking. So much so that I was inclined to take some pictures with my phone. Here are a few of the cooler ones:

Thanks for the replies guys! Looks like it might come tomorrow which would be sweet. My .001 scale came today and I'm ready for this and really looking forward to it. :D

This is a basic question but how do 2c's affect your pupils? They dilate them right? If so how long after the main trip i over does that last and in general what is it like after it wears off and can you act normal once you stop feeling the bulk of the effects? How hard would it be for someone to tell you are/were tripping if they didn't know anything about psychedelics, can you pull yourself together on it if you need to for a moment?

Also, I like the idea of conserving the dose by half by plugging and avoiding any potential nausea even if it is a small risk with 2c-c. What would be the harm or disadvantage of not trying oral first and going straight to plugging?
 
yep, 2c-x's dilate your pupils. I've never noticed the dilation lasting longer than the effects, but that may well vary from person to person, as I've noticed my pupils dilate much more readily than most of my friends, even on a low dose. Mine might be kinda stretched out ;). As for how obviously on drugs you will be, that depends greatly on personal reaction. With things like 2c-c, 2c-d, and low doses of 2c-t-2, I can act pretty much normally, but again this will vary from person to person and probably even from experience to experience in the same person. But generally speaking, 2c-c leaves most of your cognitive functioning intact. Mentally, IME, its not a whole lot different from a combination of medium strength coffee & really good pot. Don't get me wrong, you can definitely get pretty far out there if you're so inclined, but 2c-c doesn't push you that far out there like some other psychedelics.
 
@Oxymorphone

I guess there really aren't any disadvantages to plugging right away. I think you should still try both though to decide which route you prefer. Some people like the longer, smoother come up of oral administration. Sometimes I prefer one to the other depending on the situation and how practical it is to plug something.

2C-C is pretty much the only 2C I've tried that doesn't give me any nausea. Even 2C-I makes me queasy for the first hour or so.

Ok well I plugged 20mg before reading this since I want a stronger first experience than 20mg oral. So this is about 35-40mg oral equivalent? It has been 25 min since I dosed it. things are starting to feel a little different.... How long is the come up usually? :)
 
i puked pretty heavily in the beggining of the trip and found it to be about as mentally deep as 2c-b (which is not one of the deeper psychs IMO) and much more so than 2c-i.

Just throwing that in there to show how peoples reactions on these can vary.

was it an oral dose?

Now things are seeming like there is a slight green color filter on them that comes in splotches
 
This is my first real trip so sorry if I post too much. Parts of my arm feel a bit warm and the slight color distortions are intensifying. I wonder if it is a great or bad idea to go for a walk in central park, it is just a few blocks away from me... Seeing avatar in 3d might be an experience but I think I'll save that for another trip while I get to know 2c-c on this one.
 
Yes it was oral.

Going on a walk in central park cant hurt. Ive had many great trips getting lost in there. :)

hmm it's been an hour and a half now. i don't feel too much. I read the PiKAL entry and it said it took almost 2 hours to come up. If I don't feel anything more in 30 min I'm going to take some more. How much do your pupils dilate on this stuff? mine are pretty normal. Maybe I under-dosed. This AWS model DIA-20 .001 scale doesn't seem too accurate at low masses
 
by an hour and a half you should be pretty much up or at least aware of how strong the trip will be.
redosing may not increase the effects of the trip but rather just prolong them because of a rapid accute tolrance that usually builds with psychedelics.

I would wait a few days and try a higher dose.
You may just be one of the people who dont find this one to be very exciting. Or try a higher dose as coolio suggested (though i would work my way up slowly to that dosage level, especially with no psychedelic experience)
