Everywhere. Everywhen.
I've experimented with Sparkle (2C-E) about ten times now and have introduced the substance to ten other people with various degrees of chemical experience. In the aftermath of Operation Web Tryp finding a supplier for research chemicals has became somewhat of a task and after literally months of searching the web and reading trip reports on Erowid I finally found one. Then the task became what research chemical to choose; I wanted a substance that was mind shattering in effect but one that I didnt have to worry about an overdose. Like I said I've read tons of trip reports and 2C-E seemed like the best canidate. My friends and I decided to name 2C-E Sparkle due to it's intense visual effects.

This was my latest experience on September 19 2005

9:18pm I just ate what may or may not been a 10mg capsule of Sparkle (2C-E). If it wasn't it was a capsule of powdered sugar, time will tell. I ate half a valium earlier and didn't really feel any effect other than what I could pass off as placebo, I've never done valium before and that was at least five hours ago. About an hour ago I smoked a bowl of Coleus and Salvia Divinorum.

9:31pm Decided to smoke a bowl of Vilca seeds just in case the capsule is bunk. I feel somewhat funny but not sure yet if in a Sparkle kind of way.

9:48 I feel the vilca not sure what else but I'm all sorts of foggy and feel hot and sweaty.

10:05, I feel warm from smoking the vilca still but no noticable 2C-E effects yet.

10:17 Effects are coming on. My brain feels like it's being streched, increased sense of touch,

10:35pm Outkast is on: "I'm cooler than a polarbear's toenails, oh hell"; The screen is moving and bubbling up and stuff. Letters on the screen look three dimensional. Trails have always struck me as interesting.
OUTKAST!!!!

11:10pm It's David and Sparkle!! I remember Sparkle's ability to switch between body and mind tripping. It's an interesting phenomena.The 2c-e is third a perspective; showing each option, then fucking which trip you you choose(I remember one time on 17mg clutching onto my friends couch as to keep from disintergrating)...it took me thirteen minutes to write this, it's 11:23 now

11:40pm Trails and such, able to switch between mind and body, body in control and it's taughitng(?).

12:08am The world is opaque, fuck the opaque world, I have to pee.

1:17am The world is less choatic I think. Maybe it's just the thinking. I have more motor control now.

****somewhere around this time I left my apartment to play in an encroaching thunderstorm.

By 3am most of the visuals had faded away and by 6:30am I fell asleep.

Between 10:35pm and 11:10pm I had been laying on my bed and entered this quasi-dream state where I became lucid and had access to dreamworld information. it was an unusual experience, I think according the Shulgin scales this experience would rate a plus four but I'm not entirely certain.

The visuals (CEVs and OEVs) are very much like lsd except WITH 2C-E YOU WILL HALLUCINATE. At times you feel like you're looking at the world from inside of a bubble.Here are some friends descriptions of 2C-Es visual effects:

"it feels like walking around in an impressionist painting"
"skyscrapers were breathing"
"everything was an oil painting and i could move the colors around with my fingers"


Some friends commented about how days after taking 2C-E they experienced a mental calm aswell as increased insight into personal problems and increase in motivation to acomplish goals in their life. A couple reported feeling cluster fucked and disconnected days afterwards. The mental effects of 2C-E are as outrageous as the visuals so if you're considering experimenting with this substance be prepared to have your thoughts gangbanged in the south of France or wherever you go. When I first received 300mg of 2C-E I spent the next four days on it with little diminishment of the quality of the trip until about the third day and no negative comedown whatsoever. In many of the trip reports I've read on 2C-E the authors were hesitant to say they enjoyed themselves in fear of encouraging recreational use which could lead to scheduling. This is a chemical I definately don't want to see made illegal but it's definately fun. I don't think this has the potential for abuse for any extended period of time by your average recreational drug user as there's waaay too much thinking involved with this chemical.

As a side note:
If you plan on taking Sparkle, be prepared not to be sleeping any time soon. I know of no one who was able to do this. Also, Sparkle and MDMA make an excellent combination.
 
What the fuck is this shit about "sparkle?" No one calls it that. Just call it 2c-e, since that's its name.
 
It all makes sense to me now...

Seriously, let's try not to propagate slang here. Assigning a slang word to any research chemical is going to do nothing but get it recognized more in the public eye. And you know what that means...
 
sparkle? shnarkle, markle, nargle, is that the name of your pet dog's lightning bug in a jar? bargle. blhargle. dont forget to gargle.

My apologies, I wasn't trying to propagate anything as an adverstisment. :( I must say though that 2C-E doesn't roll off the tounge and I felt that incorporating the slang to be an integral part of the trip report in addition to conveying the effects.

i.e.
From what I've read and experienced about the 2c-*'s, the experience is markedly different from a typical LSD/Mushroom "trip" in that it is more clear headed and focused. It is also different from "rolling" on MDMA and other entactogens even thoughsthey also affect the sense of touch. In my opinion, the 2c-*'s are unique class of compounds and the language used to describe them should reflect that uniqueness. Thus, sparkle-sparkling.

and if we want to be techinical about shit, it's name is not 2C-E but 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-phenethylamine.
 
I agree with your analysis totally. Just no need to popularize another psychedelic is all I'm saying :)

Well, any more than it already is...

Names like these are often just a marketing ploy in small circles that shady dealers try to push as the new thing. Yes, the 2C-x series are unique but so is every other chemical in the world. 2C-E is the shorthand version of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-phenethylamine, why not leave it at that?
 
IS this the dark side of 2c-e I've read about? All the negative bitchy feed back? If you really want to dispell attention then say:

"Dude, yesterday I took 15mg of 'Shit'". Just call the shit shit.

I thought the report was excellent (read well and was informative). Some folks I think I know have been interested in 2c-e for a 'spell', and this report further deepened their interest.

Thank you for taking the time to write it.
