2-CI & Lingering visuals?

I've noticed some minor lingering visuals from 2C-I. I don't get the floaters some of you are talking about but every now and then, I see a shadow that's wiggling a little more than it should. Sometimes it happens randomly, but it also happens if I consciously try to make it happen. I don't mind it at all though because it doesn't interfere with anything. It's actually kind of refreshing in a way.
 
Yeah I'm pretty sure lots of people get the after images I'm taling about. But, will I be able to enjoy pot as much as I used to once all of the visuals go away? Also, they were less severe today, I can really only see them when I think about it. Or get anxious about it haha. But other than that it's definately better. But will I be able to smoke pot in a few weeks without having the floaters come back as bad as they were?
 
Of course :) Keep in mind, however, that cannabis usage lends itself to noticing visual distortions. Just don't freak out over them and you'll quickly forget (assuming you have something more interesting to occupy yourself with!).
 
Also – in times when total coherency isn't of real importance, why not just welcome these effects? Thats how I look at it nowadays. I mean, part of the reason I do psychedelics is too see interesting visuals, if some of those visual effects linger over when I smoke pot for a few weeks, I don't really mind. I just avoid smoking pot if the visual effects would pose a problem / safety issue (driving, work, school).

A big part of being a regular user of psychedelics is integrating the changes that occur into everyday life.
 
I don't really plan on using psychs that much haha. My drugs of choice are alcohol, pot, and benzos :P haha. But after a few weeks will my pot high be the same as it used to be? Or did I change it forever?
 
Well the way I look at it (and you don't have to look at it this way) is that using psychedelics, at least at high doses, changes you for ever, every time you experience it. It allows you to see things you haven't previously seen, and those things can't be unseent, if you catch my drift.

This applies to the mental effects too. You'll probably always be more conscious of 'floaters' and other visual phenomena, but you can chose how you want to handle that. If you chose to just let it be, it probably won't bother you much and you probably won't think about it much.

tl;dr: I think the changes will be with you forever, but they will fade in intensity if you let them.
 
Okay. But I never really took very high doses. Like 15 mgs at the most of 2-CI. But could that have changed the high I get from pot very much?
 
You could have, its very subjective. You'll just have to wait and see I think, every ones brain is different. If you did, from only 1 trip @ 15mg, I'd say the changes would be minimal.
 
And honestly, I don't think any changes will stay with me long. I never had a profound experiernce on psychs, I just tripped lol. I didn't really learn anything or gain anything from it, just saw colors and patterns, and that's it.
 
It can be like that. Especially 2C-I. Its a light psychedelic, mostly visual.

High Dose LSD is sure to give you something profound, whether you recognize it or not. Try eating a ten strip, for example =D
 
Haha I hope so :P lol. I'm not really looking for profound life changing stuff. Thanks for all the help by the way! Also, would you suggest I quit smoking cigarettes while I'm trying to get rid of the visuals?
 
No problem. I wouldn't worry about the cigarettes unless you want to quit / take a break. It sure wouldn't hurt though.

I also snorted it , if that makes a difference. I heard snorting it takes away all the psychedelia.

Not true! snorting 2c-i is one of the only true ways to experience the psych effects.
Other than that, you have to smoke cannabis, salvia, or take insane amounts of 2c-i orally--and even then you'll never reach the true beauty of the compound!!

I've heard lots of accounts of this. A number of my friends have lingering visuals for weeks or even months after 2-CI. I'm experiencing this. I see eye floaters now and negative after images of only some objects (primarily red or blue ones). The after images disappear in a second or two. I don't think it's HPPD (and I sure hope it isn't) but has anyone else had this happen to them? I've been seeing all this shit for about 9 days now, and I'm wondering how long it will last.
Thanks.

Tis' **odd** but the very same thing happened to me, down to a T.

i experienced persistent visuals through the first real night of sleep. My MA 421(probability theory) was waving back at me...not fun.
All should subside.

Also, a friend of mine also reported verbal/auditory rather than visual disturbances the day following his very last experience.

So, how long did your visuals persist? Also, do they just go away one day out of the blue?

I dosed mid evening on a saturday night, visuals persisted through Sunday and were kind of off-putting given the lingering magnitude. They persisted with somewhat less magnitude monday, and I avoided a bowl after that test as weed does bring it back. After a good nights rest i was back to normal on Tuesday.

A similar phenomena exists with DXM, the visual element persists until a night of solid sleep.

I should mention(and it should be redundant cause you read the report, right?)--this was my first time trying.

another friend of mine experienced similar lingering effects after his first time(we actually lost him that night...)--which also subsided afterwards. We have since been through the better part of 2g of 2ci on separate occasions without experiencing hppd.
Not that I'm saying you should dose again, just what happened and what has happened since for the both of us.

Also, don't smoke weed--instant trip return.

I've had friends who have taken doses that would be considered heroic at 35, 50 and 100mgs respectively. From the experiences they had I can say that the visual persistance seems to last longer the higher the dosage. The one who took 100mgs did suffer from lingering visuals but recovered in a 2 week time frame. I've only had the pleasure of being on 2c-i once at 16mg and I found it to have a similar time frame to when I dose acid. The visuals persist into the next day, but you can sleep the next night. I avoid smoking pot because that usually will increase the effect of the visuals more. I would dose 2c-i again, but during the day. I think the time frame would allow me to crash late that night and actually recover more quickly. I find that what usually makes the visuals persist more is my grogginess and lack of sleep that make the visual distortions persist. You have to just stop worrying about it. The more you think about it the more it is just going to be something you become obsessed with. Trust me.
 
I started having noticeable HPPD symptoms from an LSD trip about a year ago. After that, I had floaters, static, negative after images, etc. However, after the second time I took 2C-I (not even a significantly high dose), I had HPPD symptoms unlike the ones from LSD. These visual changes are more "shroomy" one might say, as things tend to grow and wobble a tiny bit every so often. It happens more often when I'm stressed, or when I'm ill.
