2c-b (27mg) - First Time - Seeing the World Through "Real" Colored Sunglasses
Set: in a fairly decent mood, excited that my vacation from work has just begun, yet also still feeling a bit drained and uptight from the stressful past few weeks at my job.
Setting: in my apartment on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
I wake up in the morning with no real plans for the day other than testing out 2c-b for the first time, in preparation for sharing with a close friend the following week. I eat a light lunch around 12:30pm. Nothing too big, but enough to hold me over.
At around 1:00, I ingested 30mg of 2c-b HBr (approximately equivalent to 27mg of the HCl) in a small capsule.
T+0:30 – I feel something, but I’m not sure what. Slight stimulation in my body, feeling kind of warm at this point. A quick glance in the mirror assures me that my pupils are indeed extremely dilated, and I know that this is the beginning of the comeup.
T+0:45 – I experience very slight stomach discomfort, eventually resulting in mild diarrhea… nothing too intense or problematic. I still feel very warm, almost hot. I have the air conditioning on in my apartment, and enjoy standing in front of it to cool off.
T+1:00 – I am beginning to experience slight visual effects, such as color enhancement, slight crawling or undulating/breathing type effects.
T+1:30 – Visually, I can notice mild tracers, patterning on surfaces, mild melting/swirling type effects on the tiles on the kitchen floor. I am energetic, occasionally pacing or just feeling the need to walk around my apartment. The headspace is very gentle and easy to control. I put on some Shpongle in the next room, and begin to recline on my couch. The body load is pretty much gone at this point. I am enjoying just sitting, not really thinking about anything in particular. I am truly content merely existing. I am reminded of a quote I believe someone on this forum once said or maybe quoted (sorry I forget who) and that has stuck with me:
“All you need to do in life is to exist, that alone is extraordinary; to exist well is something that we all, hopefully, are continually seeking after, and the real benefit therein lies in the journey, not in the destination.”
I can identify with this statement deeply right now, and continue to just sit and “be”.
EDIT: i believe it was SomeKindaLove who this quote should be attributed... interestingly I just realized that Psyduck's 2c-b report quotes this same exact line.. It's very fitting for the 2c-b experience I guess!
T+3:00 – I arrive back from a walk around my town. I had ventured to a local baseball park that was not currently being used, and laid on the bleachers for a while, looking at the sky, enjoying the patterning and swirling. Occasionally, while looking at the sky, my vision will get “choppy,” or look as if my visual frame rate had suddenly been decreased to maybe 8-10 frames per second.
I feel truly happy, with no bad feelings toward anyone (including a coworker who I normally feel quite a bit of animosity towards). I feel at peace, and that all is well. For once, I feel a feeling I haven’t felt in a while: true happiness to be alive.
T+3:15 – At this point, I feel the 2c-b definitely fading. I don’t really have any visual effects anymore, yet remain happy and content. I determine that at this point, I would be fully capable of driving the 1 mile or so that it takes to go to a friend’s house that is having a BBQ outdoors.
NOTE: I would strongly recommend against driving after taking 2c-b, especially if you are not accustomed to psychedelics. At the time, I felt very confident in my motor skills and reaction times. My friend lived close enough that I wasn’t really worried about it, and it worked out fine for me, however your mileage may vary (literally).
During the next few hours, I enjoy relaxing outside with close friends, chatting, laughing, and taking time to simply appreciate being alive and being in the company of such good friends.
T+5:00 – I am fully returned to baseline at this point. I almost feel as if it is too soon, but I'm OK with it being over. I have a positive afterglow, yet no physical effects persist. I contemplate how to be able to have the feelings of contentedness persist throughout the coming months.
Afterthoughts:
I feel that 2c-b would be the perfect introductory psychedelic experience. Never once did I feel like it was too much, or that I was being pushed into any sort of negative direction. It was very malleable and easy to control, yet very rewarding, and fun as well. The short duration is also beneficial for the purposes of introducing someone to the world of psychedelics.
I think that 2c-b will be a chemical I continue to enjoy for quite some time, and one I hold close to my heart. One of the more interesting observations I made while walking around town and laying down outside to appreciate life was that I was somehow looking at the world through “real” colored sunglasses. It was as if I had a short glimpse into the true nature of our surroundings, instead of always being so bogged down with thoughts of work and pressure and so on. All in all, it was definitely a great experience, and one I look forward to experiencing again and also sharing with others.
Thanks for reading, sorry if it's a little long or uninteresting -- it certainly wasn't to me
