Last night I went ahead and had my first experience with 2C-B (or any hallucinogen for that matter). A brief background I just turned 25 and having only ever used alcohol for most of my life I started using MDMA on occasion about a year ago. While I have tried weed years ago I haven't smoked any due to its unfortunately long detection period. After hearing the praises of different entheogens I decided to finally give it a shot. I did all the research on what to take and settled on 2C-B since it seemed to generally be accepted as a lighter version compared to LSD or other RC's.
I decided rather than take it at an event or outside I would do it at my apartment so everything could be controlled and I would be totally familiar with my environment. I cleaned my apartment, I made a list of things I wanted to do while tripping and I let my neighbor know to check on me from time to time in case there was any trouble The come up was enjoyable and I attribute that mostly just to anticipating the new experience. About 45 minutes later I notice moving patterns on my rug and the wall and then my foambag started moving like waves on the ocean. I thought the whole thing was extremely novel and new and I immediately thought back to when I was 17 and got drunk for the first time.
The initial realization that a drug could do things like this was very exciting and I initially started off very happy about this. I wasn't sure what kind of music I would like so I started off with some techno and just laid on the floor looking at things for the first 45 minutes or so although it felt much much longer. At one point I caught myself really staring into the floor and kinda freaked out for a second but stood up and changed the music and it was like I completely sobered up for 30 seconds or so.
I experienced plenty of OEV's I never experienced any CEV's because any time I closed my eyes I became extremely afraid and had to open my eyes in order to feel better. Sound was slightly altered but it didn't necessarily sound amazing like it does on MDMA, just a little different depending on the song. I took the advice of covering the mirrors in my house but I did make the mistake of staring at my hand/arm at one point which started to shrivel like it was aging extremely fast but then blew up like it was swollen and then shrunk to be very small which freaked me out so I made a mental note to not focus on my body for the rest of the trip.
I cycled through genres quickly realizing that some music I like when sober, drunk or rolling I now hated or felt uncomfortable with while other music was awesome. John Mayer led to Led Zeppelin which led to Jimi Hendrix which led to George Clinton and the Parliment Funkadelic which led to Beethoven.
I was experiencing extreme time dilation and it felt as if a few hours had passed even though it had only been a little over an hour or so. I noticed whenever I decided to change a song if I took too long to think about what I wanted to listen to next it would hurt to think about it and I would become side tracked and go on an uncomfortable mini trip until I remembered to change the song.
Eventually I was listening to some trance and standing in front of the speakers when it felt like the whole room started shaking like a rocket ship, the lights flickered and my body began to levitate slowly. As I felt this I saw the wall in front of me melt, then the speakers and then my finger tips which were held out at arms length in front of me. This initially was an amazing feeling but once I felt myself melt I freaked out and snapped back to reality and decided to not listen to music for a little while.
I then got on my computer and began watching different things on netflix but I had the same problem I had with the music, if I thought about doing anything for too long without making a decision I would trail off in an uncomfortable tangent until I snapped back. I watched a bit of planet earth and samsara but because I was experiencing time so slowly I found myself getting bored so I switched to watching stand up comedians on youtube which was funny but again required a bit too much thinking. I experienced a bit of paranoia a few times when I thought about looking out the window but I reminded myself it was a drug which helped a little but I only really felt better once I thought about something else.
I was having naseau that would come and go this whole time and it was around now that I decided to try and write a story of what I was feeling to see if that made me feel a little better. I only wrote a few sentences, which felt like it took me an hour and was the most profound thing ever written but again it felt like my brain couldn't function that way.
I put some music back on and fired up a multi colored laser light I have and stared at it with some refraction glasses for the next hour just diving deep into the experience. I wasn't feeling enlightened or very happy but I wasn't upset or afraid either.
The entire trip fell somewhere in the middle, there were brief points of bliss and brief points where I started to become a bit afraid. It was like riding a roller coaster and only traveling on the first hill upwards but you never go over the top, it had the feeling of excitement and expectation but also of fear and lack of knowing what was a head. I also felt like I had an extreme case of ADHD as I couldn't focus on anything for more than 10 minutes at the most before I had to change what I was doing or I would start to feel uncomfortable.
Around the 4 hour mark I did find myself wanting the whole experience to end. Luckily I reminded myself of the legnth of 2C-B and knew that I really would be coming down soon. I threw on Austin Powers because it was a comedy and I figured it would cheer me up a bit which it did. I laughed watching Austin Powers and as the movie went along I noticed the visually becoming less intense. I fell asleep 2/3rds of the way through the morning and woke up this morning felling fine although it did feel like I was still tired and I had a poor nights sleep but a nap this afternoon took care of that.
Overall it was interesting and I do plan on trying it again although I definitely plan on using it in a totally different environment, possibly on a hike in the woods or a rave. I also want to combine with MDMA since now that I know what 2C-B is like I feel the positive emotions of MDMA would make the whole trip more consistently positive without some of the downsides.
