2C-B (24 mgs) - Experienced - Surprise Psychedelia On Summer Solstice

[JackARoe]

This was the week I had planned a cactus trip. However the weather did not hold out and we had a stalled dense foggy 100% humidy, no air, choking type feeling all week. 6 days of that, so I decided to not do the cactus until a better time. But since the weather cleared and got very nice by Friday afternoon with no humidity, a breeze and clear skies at night I wanted something. I decided to go ahead and take 24 mgs of 2C-B. Now I will say I love 2C-B. But I really wanted to take a classical like LSD or mushrooms if I could not find the time for cactus. I have to go with what I have, and keep the faith that I can remedy my lack of access to classicals or learn things about fungus. And I am going to. I have been searching bluelight for any knowledge I can get

7:15 - 24 mgs down the hatch, empty stomach. 15 minutes later I had a peanut butter and jelly to get a little food in my stomach and kick in the 2C-B. I will say that is how I dose all my psychedelics. Empty stomach, 15 minutes later a little food.

8:00 - I take a shower to get clean for the night. I am surprised at how quickly the stuff hits. Those persian carpet visuals in under an hour. Started in the shower.

8:30 - I have a few tokes of weed and am happy to say I am tripping. Strong stimulation, pacing, strong CEV's and OEV's. Music starting to sound great, my spirit within me moves which is the whole reason I take a psychedelic. The music makes me happy, I am laughing and playing with my dog. She gets the trip nights. Lots of light hearted energy.

9:00 - I go out back on my deck, since it is the Summer Solstice it is still kind of light out except the fire flies (or lightening bugs as we use to call them) start coming out. It is usually July before I see them. I think the most fascinating thing about that is they all seemed connected by a neon gold, pink and blue ribbon, no matter how far away or close they were. A ribbon connected all their flashing as if they were one being. It was absolutely beautiful. Seeing this then turned in to a feeling and I could feel the ribbon now and it made me laugh. I watch the "show" for about 20 minutes.

10:00 I come back inside and have a few more tokes, throw om some Grateful Dead (God bless those archives, no more cassetts! LOL, hey I even had 8- tracks in the 70's) It is at this point the strong psychedelia starts to morph into slower and more detailed visions. The closed eye visuals are of a neon purple, red and gold type. Interestingly enough in 2007 I have had 2C-C once at 37 mgs. It was similar to 2C-B but the swirling visuals were more green, blue, aquamarine. None of the purple gold pink that 2C-B has. I wish I had more 2C-C to experient with, I recognized it as a wonderful substance on par with 2C-B.

11:00 - The effects start to wane but still very much tripping. I can sit and close my eyes for longer periods. For some reason I can not completely sit still and get absorbed in 2C-B like I can LSD. I can almost fall asleep on good clean acid. But with 2C-B there is more stimulation. But wow when you close your eyes the visuals are spectacular. More neon gold, bright green, purple and red diamond shapes swirling into one another.

12:30 - Most of the effects are disappearing except for some lingering morphing. So once again I think I clock the experience at 4 1/2 to 6 hours in duration. It is short compared to mescaline or LSD and a good choice if I don't want to be up till daybreak. Last time I did acid I took it at 6:00 at night and went to sleep at 6:00AM

1:15 - I take 300 mgs of gabapentin and 1 1/2 mgs of etizolam, which hits in 15 minutes, I make some food completely down from the trip and then go to sleep 2 hours later. (I was enjoying the anxiety relief of the gabapentin/etizolam combo. ) It is amazing how quickly etizolam works and made eating very easy. It almost gives me the munchies, or calms me down enough to eat from the munchies that the weed gives.

Anyway not much in the way of personal insight except that I really have to work at being happier and stop letting the little things in life take me down. I can handle big things, I hate to say it I do well in crisis, but the little day to day things have really been getting to me. Like I could lose my shit if I lose the TV remote one more time that I just had in my hand. :D Yeah, I get cranky and I want to work at that. But I think cranky is just a well meaning person that is in a tired body. Some wise and decent people get cranky and it is forgivable because it is not part of a personality. Unless a person makes crankiness their normal state. The old man that smacks his cane on his porch telling the kids to get off his lawn can really be a decent person in a tired body that went through a lifetime of getting crapped on. I get it so I forgive it and hopefully people will forgive me.

Anyway I have not been tripping much, so this hit me better than I thought it would and the psychedelia was very entertaining. My next venture will be with a classical. Funny how at one point so many mushrooms came my way and now nothing, except for some Azurescens sent to me from Oregon I have not come across the fungus. But my intent is there. BTW I should do an Azurescens trip report and they seem different from Cubensis. More colder, stronger and seemed to kick me into different dimensions than Cubensis. And I get the same feeling with Azurescens as I get with Salvia, if it likes you then you are good to go. If it doesn't then watch out. lol I really want to work with Azurescens. I saw the neatest vast opening behind closed eyes that made me feel like I was on the top of a mountain peaking into another dimension. Anyway maybe I will type that up.

This sounds like a lovely experience, thanks for sharing it, JackARoe.

We have only taken 2C-B twice for certain, only at 10 mg, and only around a decade ago when we first started really getting into drugs in general, so unfortunately we don't really feel we can speak much to its effects compared to the way we can for just about everything else now. The way you describe it though reminds me of both 2C-C and 2C-I in ways that make me suspect that it might be somewhat in between them in some ways, which would make enough sense to me structurally but I don't want to make too many general assumptions. Have you used 2C-I?

We recall quite vividly that when we first started researching novel psychedelics, there seemed to be a perception that the phenethylamine psychedelics were more different from one another on average than the tryptamine psychedelics were, but also that the phenethylamines were less deep or intoxicating than the tryptamines were on average. Neither of these things have turned out to be true in our experience; tryptamines and phenethylamines are both highly variable and still obviously similar from one molecule to the next even within their own groups and compared to one another and phenethylamines are no less "spiritual" or insightful or visionary or anything like that on average than the tryptamines are, they just do it in their own unique ways but so do each tryptamine. We went into the halogenated base phenethylamine group expecting some pretty light-hearted molecules and got some of our first ever DMT-like alien imagery and cacti-like animal and totem pole-like visions and such from the same 2C-I trip, and had one of the deepest and most immersive complete hallucinogenic breakthroughs we've ever had on a combination of 2C-C and nitrous oxide. I personally have no doubt 2C-B will be plenty powerful for us and look forward to seeing more how it compares to the classics ourselves if we do ever get the chance.

Thanks again for sharing.
