I'm looking for a way to acquire some more of the 2Cs for my research purposes...the place I got 2C-D for my experiments closed shop, sadly. But I definitely want to explore 2C-C and 2C-I first, especially if I have the same experiences based on what you're saying, because I really enjoyed 2C-D - didn't feel it was harsh at all, so if C is even easier on the mind I imagine it'll be a lot of fun! (To me, 2C-D was like MDMA, just a bit less energizing, a little less tactile, and a bit more visual.)
I've heard that 2C-I can get introspective, so I'm surprised to hear it's very social, though. But at the same time, my most recent batch of MDMA had some 2C-I thrown in and while it did bring up some introspection, it was "social introspection" (we shared our insight rather than keeping inside our own minds) but that could possibly just be due to the social aspects of MDMA... Not sure, exactly, which is one of the big reasons I want to try 2C-I as a separate thing.
If I'm able to find another source for RCs, what is your take on them? Would you say any of the 2Cs are good precursors to more involved things? I have friends who are interested in things like LSD and MDMA, but a bit hesitant, so I've been debating the idea of the 2Cs as starter points to give them an idea before they dive in head first... What is your take on that, since you have had more experience with them than I have?
