(2-CE/26.4mg) First time. Praying for normality!
I am an experienced psychonaut and has taken many psychoactive and psychotropic drugs, my first experience with 2-CE is a one I will never forget! I first measured out a 20mg dose of 2-CE and placed into an empty gelatin capsule for oral use. The remaining 6.42mg (I have VERY accurate scales) was kept for insufflation as a "why not"
T-10.
I set up trip setting. Lighted cinnamon and apple scented candles and used some breathing and relaxation techniques she learned from an old friend. I took 20mg of Metoclopramide to combat the sickness I had read about people experiencing along with 100mg of Tramadol HCL and 1000mg of acetaminophen for my back as from personal experience I knew pain during a trip can send things into a downward spiral quickly!
T-
I first ingested the prepared gelatin capsule washing it down with my favorite juice drink (peach flavored water). Insufflated dose of 6.42mg along with 3.5mg of Glucose powder as a bulking agent. I felt an intense burning sensation starting in my nasal cavity and sinus radiating through my head with what can only be described as a piercing sensation. I then sat down on a comfortable bean bag chair and put on some calming music.
T+10
The burning sensation is gone totally now and has subsided to a mild chemical taste in the back of her throat and very slight "behind the eye" headache (possibly unrelated?) taste is not unlike that of a benzodiazepine, too astringent to be likened to MDMA, quite unlike most synthetic drugs I had taken. I took another drink of my peach water to wash the taste away. I then inhaled 8g of nitrous oxide from a balloon. Experiencing the dissociative effect of the N2O but no sign of the 2-CE yet.
T+20
A distinct "coming up" feel. Presumably from the insufflated dose. Not a sharp abrupt come up like Amphetamine, not an uplifting euphoric come up like MDMA. More a gentle lift like she has just drank a cup of good quality coffee. I waved her hand in front of her face at this point to check for trailing visuals. Nothing yet! Some effect, maybe a + on the Shulgin scale. I was hoping hoping that this particular member of the magical half dozen has not been overblown and is actually just a +
T+30
I am definitely up now! That feeling like a good 10 hours sleep in a comfortable bed. Certain things are feeling a little unusual, I was becoming very aware of how comfortable I am, but remember I have also taken Tramadol HCL. I have to leave her house now, I’ve run out of cigarettes, and my beloved peach water is running low.
T+35
Upon walking to the shops I feel almost as if I was floating. Not in the physical sense like Ketamine, more in a sense that movement is very easy and very natural, a felt very aware of my own body and the movement trough space. As I entered the shop I browsed for a few moments, picking up some essentials; Some chocolate, a few bottles of peach water, some ready to eat food from the chiller, some heartburn meds (just in case) along with 10 menthol cigarettes and 10 regular.
T+45
I lights a menthol cigarette whilst listening to my "trip CD" a collection of music I likes to listen to whilst tripping. Something has definitely taken effect. My awareness of the room around me is more profound now; my understanding of my body has greatly been enhanced. The feeling of her my against my palms while clenching a fist was almost startling; I waves her hand again in front of her face to check for trails. Still nothing! Although whilst looking at my patterned wallpaper i noticed a slight wave like distortion, not as vivid or profound as LSD, but definitely something, it was fleeting and illusive, almost as soon as it was noticed it seemed to stop, I contemplated the sentient nature of a trip, how it evolves and grows, and how in essence the trip IS alive.
T+1H
She has noticed some quite profound OEV. Again not as vivid as LSD or DMT but it’s there! The feel of the trip at this point was not unlike mescaline. I inhaled another balloon of nitrous; as I inhaled I felt a noticeable change in the pitch of the gas escaping the balloon, lower and lower with every breath. The room was dimly lit, the dissociative effects of the nitrous coupled with the psychoactive properties of 2-CE made it feel almost like Datura, a substance I'd regretted taking! But more benign than Datura. I took another sip of my drink; the flavor was different now, better in a way, more noticeable and sweeter almost. I felt a warm comforting sensation wrap around me, I was moving deeper into the trip.
T+1:30
my mind is being flooded with new perspectives and ideas! This is a double edged sword, I was having fantastic ideas but like the OEVs they are fleeting, or where they even happening? What is reality? Is reality perception and is her perception reality, therefor if she perceives something does that make this all real? But keept snapping out of it and thinking, really who cares anyway! I pulled the candle closer to light a cigarette, the smell was all encompassing, my perception, and real or not, had very much changed! I stared for some time at the candle flame, slowly exhaling smoke the flame almost seemed to dance with it, almost like the bright halo surrounding the candle was linked in some way to the smoke, and the smoke had begun to subtly change color from blue to green to red. A definite wave pattern is emerging with open eye. Time to open my mind, shut my eyes and dance with the wolves.
T+1:35
CEV are amazing! Definitely a +++. Blue and purple hues, an almost honeycomb pattern emerges, bright and crisp. Growing and evolving. Almost digital at points, but an impossible geometric pattern, that i have tried to replicate on paper many many times now with no luck! Auditory distortion is also quite strong. Nothing when compared to high dose DMT and not like the brain movies. This is just a psudeo-hellucenation. I am very aware that the patterns are not there and are simply an effect of the drug. None the less I was very pleased with the CEV for now! I smoked another cigarette, menthol this time laced with some Butane honey-oil she had made earlier out of a bag of morning glory. The cooling effect of the menthol felt very unusual indeed! A rushing sensation from the menthol almost like when one takes amphetamine and go's for a run in the rain (one of my favorite things to do)! But heavily sedated too, from the large dose of THC that BHO dishes out. I thought, do i go for it? Do I take another nitrous hit and dissociate again? Then thought to myself, screw it why not!
T+1:45
Preparing the nitrous took her longer than usual; i was too busy taking in the textures. i knew that I had definitely peaked! As I inhaled she could feel the gas filling my lungs, and with every breath cycle feel myself dissociating more and more, until the experience was almost astral. Now people often complain that Nitrous Oxide while having powerful effects is too short lived! Imagine my joy when time dilation just happened to occur at this moment! I felt a strong buzzing feeling, or was it a noise? Or something different altogether that I hadn’t felt before? Who cares I enjoyed it! Like a bee was inside my head gently humming. When combines with N2O this is definitely a ++++ drug! God bless you Alexander Shulgin! Still feeling undertones of mescaline almost. At this point the so far unmentioned sitter who had been there the whole time (let’s call him M he is my best friend) offered me a shot of vodka, he was drinking but never did care for psychedelics apart from as he called them "The Big 3" (Mushrooms. LSD. DMT) Let me advice anyone, DONT drink vodka on 2-CE the taste is amplified by the substance and becomes so foul it is difficult to stomach.
T+3:00
Unsure as to what actually happened to the time. Maybe it was the dilation effect. Maybe i passed out. Where the f*** is M?! Oh its cool, he was just taking a pee! That was my train of thought for a while. A strangely doomed feeling. Not terrifying like Datura mind you. But not nice either! I felt a little paranoia kicking in. even though she was in an entirely safe environment. A very comfortable environment. She even started to think darker thoughts, even about M and they have been friends for over 15 years! More peach water, I was very thirsty, and strangely this little dose of normality almost acted as a comfort blanket of sorts. I shook it off and sat back to enjoy more visual and auditory. This is a very long peak period I thought, especially for constant exploding CEV like it was producing! Really quite unusual.
T+6:00
I am ready for this to die off now! I was thinking that I’d tripped through an entire season. Its autumn now isn’t it? It was summer when she took it! F*** I’ve been here for months!! I thought. M is passed out in the corner. Empty vodka bottle in his hand and a smile on his face. F*** M has been here a whole season too! Maybe a few weeks!? It was the 12th when i dropped and god knows when it is now! I thought. I shook off this feeling again, and feeling very tired both emotionally and physically I woke M and asked him to join me in bed (There best friends and he couldn’t be comfortable on the floor) M had to help me with the stairs, the light hurt my eyes, quite badly in fact, I wasn’t looking forward to morning. I needed M to comfort me somewhat, lying being "little spoon" improved my mood and trip greatly. i knew I was safe with M, M would never let anything happen to me He’d looked after me since school and kicked many an ass when my ex boyfriends had been wankers so he wasn’t going to start letting me down now, he talked softly to me and I fell asleep at around 3AM
T+9:00
I woke up. M was still fast asleep next to me. I felt shaky and sick! I remembered that she had dreamed something odd, not bad just very unusual, or what it a part of the trip, I didn’t know, and once again it was illusive and fleeting. Eventually I doubted whether I’d had the dream at all! I got up and made my way slowly down the stairs for coffee. The patterned wallpaper was morphing and waving in my peripheral vision. Oh Jesus, she thought, I’m still tripping! CEVs where very very slight for me now. Light spots like when you press on your eye when its closed. Nothing sharp or clear. Just the odd sparkle. Making coffee I felt a little more normal, not totally but a little. And then my phone rang. It was my boss "Hey Lora, we need you to come in at around 7 to sign some stuff, nothing important but needs to be done before 7:15"
SH**! I thought, I’m not driving like this! M is still well over the limit! I have to get the bus!
T+9:30
All of the paranoia I thought had gone came back! I’ve slept through a season! What day is it?! What happened to me?! Oh F***! I walked to the bus station near my house and lit a cigarette. All of a sudden a sickly feeling took over me, I was going to vomit. As i took myself to a quiet back alley to do it I felt more paranoid than ever! The CEVs are now a fond but distant memory. Now it’s just the mental distortions that I’m feeling! Please god let these weird perspectives on life end! I'm questioning the nature of my own reality. I thought it was over but was finding myself in at least a ++ state! Damn you Shulgin! On the bus a very sobering thought came across me. I looked at the digital clock on the bus. 6:38AM, Tue 13 Aug. that’s what it read. It was still summer, today was indeed the 13th as yesterday was the 12th. The world didn’t end, i didn’t enter alternative time, and it’s all in my head! I thought. At that moment, like breaking a glass, it went to just being a + experience. I still had my boss to deal with, that was the real challenge.
T+10:00
Off the bus and in to work. Look down and OH F***!!! I’m wearing odd shoes! Obviously odd too, different colors in fact!!! Someone will notice this! BANG! Back to ++. I started to have palpitations, almost an anxiety attack! Jesus Christ this is awful! I signed the paper and left without saying much, feigning a hangover. I wasn’t supposed to be a work today! My boss laughed it off saying nothing but “late one last night Lora love?” and laughing, my reply, through a cocked smile “something like that Phill” and I was allowed to leave. Oh Jesus i just want to feel normal again! I want this to stop! At least with acid I’d just be lying in bed all day paranoid and sweating and shaking. But this stuff is making me feel really very unwell.
T+10:30
Home. Finally home. M is cooking my breakfast and making coffee. Thank god for that man he really is an angel! We sat almost in silence and ate. M asked, “you ok sweetie? You look fine but you seem a little strung out.” I shook my head to indicate no and started crying for some reason. M “you wanna go back to bed Loz.” I nodded and he helped me up the stairs again. I asked him, “will you stay with me? I really need you right now.” there’s never been anything between us, although there had always been rumors (and if I’m honest I’d like there to be) but he’s always been my rock, my superman. M of course being M climbed back into bed and hugged me, “Of course I will Loz you know that! Is there anything I can get you?” my only response was, “A new brain after this sh**" we both laughed and I put my head on his chest and was soon asleep.
T+15:00
I wake up. The feeling is gone now, I still feel a little unwell, hung-over maybe, but not severely. There’s still the occasional unpleasant thought, or dodgy perspective. But nothing I can’t handle. This feeling continued all day. I found it a little difficult to eat that day.
T+24:00
It’s totally gone now. Feel refreshed and ready to take on the world! 2C-E is definitely a worthy psychoactive! Although not altogether pleasing it wasn’t the worst I’ve tried by a long stretch. In short I’d advise while taking 2C-E: Don’t insufflate because it hurts, don’t drink vodka, don’t have anything important to do for a whole day after, DO have a very reliable sitter (everyone should have someone like M in their lives!), don’t expect nitrous to only last 30s on it. And most of all, Buy gallons of peach water!
