I'm thinking about trying 2c-b. I have never tripped before. How do you think 10mg of 2c-b taken orally would be like on a "party" (a calm assembly of friends and beer)? How about taken alone, just spending all day listening to music, playing guitar etc.?
 
Either of those are a good choice, though you may prefer the latter because the 2C series is rather stimulating and can result in flushed skin, dialated pupils, etc if you are sensitive. I doubt that'll happen, 10mg is a good low dose.
 
Yeah, 10 mg should be a good dose for a social setting. But, first, anyway I would recommend tripping surrounded by "sober"(in sense of psychedelia) people for the first time. They will be on a different wavelength. Second, psychedelics and alcohol don't always mix well.

So just save your dose for another day, which you can spend alone/with close friend. In this case, I also would recommend dosing a little bit higher - 12-14 mg.
 
I always tell people to take a low dose amount of 2c-i or 2c-b as they are the more "social" psychedelics. Just remember that setting is still important and be around "real" friends that are gonna be there for you.
Happy Tripping.
 
2c-b is wonderful and gentle at lower doses. especially with a few beers & bongs. go for it!
 
I trust my friends, but not all of them might know that I will be tripping. There may be some persons I don't trust in another apartment in the same house if we go there, but there is no problem just walking back.
 
My advice: keep it for another day, unless you're obsessed with the idea of tripping at this party.

I was around my friends on different drugs(Methylone, 2C-I, 5-MeO-DMT, 4-MeO-MiPT), usually during the comedown phase, and only 4-MeO-MiPT was worth it(which isn't powerful psychedelic).
Being the only tripping person isn't fun, hiding it from people isn't fun too(if you worry about this), being under the influence of a completely different drug than everybody else is usually no fun too.
 
I doubt that anyone else wants to take 2c-b with me. Should I just go for doing it alone then?
 
I would suggest maybe having a close friend with you though that is open-minded, even they won't take it, it's nice to have someone to bounce ideas and insights off of the first time you ever trip, and in the (very unlikely at 10mg) possibility that your trip starts to go southward, a person to talk to can help immensely. Plus, from what I hear 2c-b is quite the social drug compared to other psychedelics so it might be nice to have a friend around. I don't have personal experience with 2c-b regarding that last claim, just a theme that seems to pop up with 2c-b, I would only imagine low dose would be more social and less psychedelic too.
 
Is 2c-b soluble in water? I'll be ordering 50mg but I don't have a accurate scale and putting it in water or alcohol seems like it would be the best solution.
 
Yeah it's perfectly water soluble, as with all the other drugs in the 2C-X family.
 
While you can use 2C-B at parties it is in my opinion far from ideal, the exquisite nature shines much better if you are in a warm touchy-feely setting safe at home, preferably with your lover or otherwise with good friends to share feelings with even if not the erotic ones.

2C-B often does not 'speak up' itself, and is overshadowed easily by other drugs but also other factors in your setting. So instead of a party do it at home, seek some real peace and quiet and close your eyes allowing to flow outward what is inside. At least it feels like that to me, and it feels best to me when meditating, whether you mean that seriously as in zazen or as in meditating on the things you see, contemplating a tree when you look outside. I've seen really majestic beauty in silence just looking at a tree. Bawled like a baby, in fact.

At parties though I can go to feeling euphoric and very sensitive (emotionally/somatically) and also confused by all the things going on around me. Some people say: on this or that psychedelic I feel like a child. Well on 2C-B I tend to feel like a sensitive child. And while I can take care of myself and even jump around on awesome music I just don't feel right in my place since a loud party often opposes undisturbed meditation. That said, with your eyes closed you can still go deep but on 10 mg, hardly.
 
I find 2c-b quite an overwhelming drug even in low doses - and this is coming from someone who regularly takes 14 dried grams of cubensis with 300mg of moclobemide - I'm not sure I'd recomend it for someones first trip.

Agreed - especially if there are other options available. 2C-B was much more overwhelming than trip reports had led me to believe. 2C-C or 2C-D would be better options for a first time trip. 2C-B is still a better starting point than 2C-I, in my opinion, yet it is a pretty commonly held opinion that 2C-I is a good first time psychedelic.

Still I think that the dosage advice from sekio and allium could keep a first time 2C-B experience quite manageable.
 
hmm, 2cb is on the other hand considered one of the easier 2cs out there. personally, ive never found it overwhelming at low to medium doses, and i am rather sensitive to chems and have a low tolerance. social party settings arent the best idea though for trying out a drug for the first time, so a close friend and a home setting is also whay i would recommend, but as a general idea, after the comeup is over (which for me at least is a bit disorienting with all 2cs) 2cb is one of the more managable 2cs. also, you seem to be on the right track with the doses.

whatever you decide, have a nice trip and stay safe
 
Personally I think 2CB is an excellent starter psychedelic.

I would advice against tripping alone the first time, a couple of good friends is a must.
In my opinion, The ideal scenario would actually be if you could find a fellow conspirator to partake in your adventure ;)

Before you trip, be sure to read everything about 2CB in the erowid vault:

Erowid 2cB vault

Take in particular notice of 2CB´s timeline:

2CB effects

No matter how far out on 2CB you are, there´s never far shore.

Happy tripping, and be sure to report back here, how it was. :)
