12:45am - Ingested 14.4mg of 2CB-fly in liquid suspension. Turning on some Pink Floyd and browsing Bluelight and Erowid now. I'm going to attempt to listen to some good music while laying in bed with eyes closed as I enter the full effects, and then I'll get back on the computer later after I've explored my consciousness a bit.

1:25 - Possibly some alerts.

1:47 - Some stomach weirdness. Nothing mental yet, or really trippy at all.

2:06 - Very slow build, but I finally feel something in my head. My stomach feels like indigestion is occurring.

2:17 - I feel like something's changing with the energy, like it's leveling out. But nothing's really happened yet. My stomach appears to be settling somewhat.

2:30 - Palms and feet sweat, but STILL not much has developed. My body feels light and pleasant though. I'm enjoying some light IM conversation and reading Datura trip reports.

2:43 - It feels like it's really slowly getting more intense. I'm sweating considerably, but I also have been all day because it's hot. I also feel very communicative. This is rare for me on psychedelics. But I still feel unaltered mentally except for a very slight euphoria.

2:57 - Just vaporized a good 4 or 5 hits of good cannabis. While I was down there, my little kitty Stripey got extremely attached to me and I told him he should come up with me when I left. The moment I got up, he followed me up the stairs so closely I kept almost tripping over him. This is great because the past few days he's been aloof and distant, which is extremely unlike him. It feels good to have him nuzzling my face again. Sometimes while tripping my vibe scares him, but now, he loves it. I noticed that my balance is ever so slightly off. The cannabis kicked the body buzz in for sure, and made it almost ridiculously pleasurable at times, but the mental aspect is as of yet undeveloped. I think I may go lay down and listen to music for a bit. I can't tell if this would be best for that or for writing, but there's only one way to find out.

3:06 - I realized that I often have difficult come-up periods. I wonder what causes this? I mean, I know very well that my physical condition does not need to correspond with my mental condition, and yet, at least 50% of the time I'm unable to separate the two, for some reason. This is something I must work on. I think some of it also stems from society-induced "drug guilt", a deeply-rooted feeling which I have consciously abandoned long ago. A feeling that I've done something stupid and fucked myself up, and I've fucked my life up. This cause has been happening less and less, but it's still sometimes there. Strange how deeply-rooted, lifelong issues have such a profound effect on so much that we do.

I've also realized that I have no one that I know personally in the physical world that I really feel totally comfortable tripping with. My girlfriend doesn't do it although she expresses more and more interest. My friends from back home are too neurotic for it. My best friend has had a few good experiences but even more bad ones and says it isn't for him. I have two new friends where I live now who would be good for it but they're not even aware of the RC scene, and would be very leery of it. They only very rarely trip on mushrooms. One day we'll trip together but I don't know when. I really need to find someone to be a trip partner. It's been useful to trip alone but it's starting to get lonely sometimes.

After some conversation with a friend on Instant Messenger, I've re-realized how awesome DOC is. And how glad I am that I managed to secure a large enough to supply to probably never run out. Yay!

Suffice to say for now that I feel DAMN good! I'm finding it extremely easy to communicate, but it's actually easier and more rewarding to do with another person. This buzz feels very like MDMA, except... I like this one better because it's not so rushed or something.

3:13 - I'm about to drift with music on my bed, because this body buzz is so fucking awesome.

3:30 - That actually wasn't terribly exciting. Despite some reports to the contrary, I'm finding this drug to be best suited to communication and interaction. My kitty followed me from the bed and jumped into my lap and is now purring loudly. The body buzz feels slightly more "drug-like" now. I feel flushed. I was listening to some Shpongle, but I think Pink Floyd's "The Animals" will be better.

3:44 - This is a good way to describe this drug's buildup:

"This is not 2c-b,its a typical fly:I get considerable color enhancement,especially the blue's (unlike 2c-b).It feels like liquid honey where 2c-b is crytallised honey,flickering lights as in 50Hz screens/neon lights versus 100Hz silency,easily unrecognized,you can screen it out without problems,but in the underground it is still present.I can see others not finding effects at all.Very subtle"

Next time I take this I'd like it to be with another person. I also think that I should have smoked a good hour sooner. I think I may have missed a significant portion of the peak effects, as it seemed that I needed cannabis to propel me into it. Or to get me to notice it. I'm not sure which.

"Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers marched cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream"

I really, really love this line out of "Sheep" on The Animals. That album doesn't get enough credit!

4:50 - Ketamine really is fundamentally different than other psychedelics. It's so real. It's real because its method of affect is to shut down your awareness of your body, and ideally, completely. As such, the ketamine experience is essentially what it is to experience being pure consciousness. I can't believe there exists a drug that can do that! And I'm so glad that I've experienced it. But it also makes me realize that I need to find some more and explore further. It seems that inevitably all of my trips are prompting me to go after ketamine. I mean, it just seems so much more direct and profound, and immediately useful than most anything else I can think of. I would say that mushrooms come close, but even they can't touch the directness and totality of the ketamine space.

I'm envisioning consciousness within our physical bodies as being stuck within tight loops that center it within that body and force it to remain. These loops include our neuroses and many other functions, some extremely basic and core and primal that we are entirely unaware of. But there is no real reason why we have to remain in these loops if we become aware of them. But then the only real fear I've experienced during ketamine was the thought that I had gone too far and no longer knew how to get back into my body/brain.

This report is so excellent: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=2731

THE NEXT DAY:

Well, 2C-B-fly both went both over and under my expectations for it. First, the positive. This chemical was really euphoric! It was exceptionally easy on my body. It had the property of feeling very transparent, especially before I vaporized. In fact, I couldn't even tell I was affected for a while. It felt like I was coming up for a really long time. Completely absent were any form of body malaise or anxiety or nausea. It felt like it was entirely present in my head, and not at all in my body. Of course, the body buzz was intense and awesome once I smoked, but it felt like it was caused by my mental state and not my physical state, if that makes sense. Also, I REALLY loved the communication and empathy that this chemical provided. Most psychedelics, even euphoric ones, leave my interpersonal communication skills quite lacking. But 2C-B-fly made me quite sure that I could communicate MORE effectively than without it. In this way it reminded me a LOT of MDMA. In fact, it was quite like MDMA only a bit longer-lasting and cleaner feeling by far, but also less emotionally intense, at this dosage. It feels not the slightest bit toxic, unlike MDMA and amphetamines and other euphoria-inducing phenethylamines.

Along with this, though, came some of the negatives. It was less psychedelic than several reports led me to believe. it was not visual at all, although I had some colorless swirling vortexes behind my closed eyes. But they were not particularly interesting. I tried to listen to music and drift, but I found myself getting bored and I really wanted some extra, external stimulation, like writing and talking. It was useful for self-analysis, but I felt mainly a push to just talk and bond with others. Also, the waves that it came in were at times a bit annoying, just because I'd be feeling awesome and euphoric and on top of the world, and then it would feel like I lost it, and I'd be disappointed, which made me scold myself for not just going with it. It kept coming back, of course, but still, that part was different and, in my opinion, inferior to the "standard" 2Cs. Also, I noticed that I was unable to tell I was fully affected until I smoked. Once I smoked, it kicked it into high gear almost instantly. That's not really a downside, but I found it odd. My experience seemed to go against what others have said. I never was higher than a +2 at any point from 15mg, and it was not intense at ALL until almost T+3:00 when I smoked.

Anyway, I look forward to trying 2C-B-fly again. Next time, though, I want to take it with someone else, because it seems such a social chemical. I feel like I wasted the high a little bit by taking it alone at 1 in the morning. But at least now I know what it's capable of, and how to use it effectively. Overall, I give this chemical two thumbs up! It's very high in quality. I think next time I will try it at 20mg, and maybe during a nature bike ride with friends. And maybe by then I'll have some methylone or MDMA to try to combine with it in a small dosage as the trip wears down. I think they'd make a wonderful combination.

Nice report.. Still havent had the chance to try this but It sounds worthwhile for sure. Doesnt sound like you wasted it to me but I agree that it would probably be better socially :) (as 2cb is)
 
thanks for the report.
have you tried 2cb? how would you compare the two?
From the reports iv read they all seem to remind me of 2cb reports. So i was just curious how exactly is this different.
And in your opinion which is better?
 
I haven't tried 2C-B so I wouldn't know. But it was much less trippy than the other 2Cs I've tried. I would liken it more to MDMA than anything else, except it was extremely light on the body, and trippier than MDMA. I think at higher doses it could become more classically psychedelic, but at this dose it was mostly just euphoria-inducing with zero side effects.

My impression is that 2C-B is more visual and generally trippy, and harder on the body than 2C-B-fly. But take that with a grain of salt because I'm getting that from my research and not firsthand.
 
i agree with that 2cb is probably more trippy and better visuals (i have only tried 2cb) but it certainly did not have a body load.
In fact it had a very pleasant body high.
 
Never had 2c-b, but 2c-b-fly was much more visual than 2c-i or low-medium doses of 2c-c. YMMV.
 
More visual than 2C-I? Hmm. What was your dose of 2C-B-fly? My experience outlined in this report was not visual at all, except for VERY faintly visual with eyes closed.
 
2c-b-fly was extremely visual and euphoric for me. I've done 2c-b and 2c-i and it doesnt quite compare in the higher doses. Your trip sounds just like mine in them amounts but when i more than doubled the dose it was extremely different with hardly any body load at all. However the gf noticed too much body load on 20mg (she is sensitive to this one) It seems to be very hit and miss with some being much more sensitive than others so remember to be careful if its your first time taking this one

Wish 2c-b-fly was still floating about imo its one special rc :)

16mg, but this drug is very variable like the para-thioalkyl compounds, and dose-response is all over the place between individuals. I've had up to 20mg of 2c-i. At the peak I was floored about as bad as an 8th of mushrooms (the only difference was that they were more phenethylamine than tryptamine visuals, and they were damn pretty and colorful!).

I found 2C-B to be totally benign on the body. For me it's very euphoric with lots of hysterical laughter but it's not as "deep" as some others. There was a good bit of visual distortion/enhancement at 25 mg, and I'm sure it would increase with dosage. Sounds pretty similar to your report of 2C-B-Fly. Maybe upping the dose a little would bring out the visuals. Most of the 2C-B-Fly reports I've read say that it is quite visual.

Speaking of visual enhancement, I had my first trial run with N-methy,N-ethyltryptamine tonight. Wow. Even at a very low dose, 15 mg insufflated, I honestly couldn't tell what color the walls were in my new apartment. It caught me a little off guard.
 
My recent second trial with 2CB-fly at 15mg has given me but few visuals and was hardly comparable in strength with one decent modern-day LSD blotter... minus the restlessness as this chemical does indeed seem to produce zero tension/agitation and actually is very smooth. Got some body chills though and could tell there was mild tactile enhancement. On some subtle perceptual / cognitive / spiritual levels it's a strong drug but I think that in terms of visual/auditory/olfactory enhancement it's actually weaker than 15mg of 2CB, come to think of it. Far more subtle and in that sense may have more potential as it feels to me to be the kind of chemical that is active at very low doses already... but doesn't seem to change character too much as the dose gets higher (at least up to 15mg). Used on its own (my first trial was tainted with MDMA ingested at the T+2 initial euphoria phase as the drug becomes fully manifest) this chemical reminds me a lot of the headspace offered by 2C-P - but I feel that 2CB-fly is indeed gentler on the body and obviously easier to dose (I wouldn't dream of eating 15mg of 2C-P, that would be reckless).

Fairly easy to be social and verbal on as well, this one, even at the higher levels, once one is accustomed to the state. Even out in public not a very big deal except for the usual problem with time dilation and appropriate adjustment to eye contact etc... had a walk in the city on this and running some errands (accompanied by the non-tripping love of my life)
*reminds self not to be shy but also not to stare*

Oh yeah, I did get some mild visuals, but mainly CEV. What changed otherwise was that I *noticed* things I wouldn't usually notice... so, cognitively rather than truly visually. I did get proper visuals when I did the mirror thing.... yes, sir, when looking into my own eyes in the mirror, I can tell that yes, I am indeed tripping.... old/young/male/female/transcultural... it was all there. Pupil dilation itself, however, was quite minimal with this chemical compared to pretty much any 2C I have tried except perhaps for 2C-TFM (that, too, didn't seem to dilate my pupils much even though I was clearly altered). One reason may have been a mild tolerance from having ingested a half-dose of 2CI four days prior.

Bottom line: I can imagine this one sparkling in combination with other choice phenethylamines or tryptamines rather than when taken on its own.

Wow, this was almost a year ago...

I was glad to re-live that experience just now. My next experience with this clued me in to its true potential. What a beautiful substance. Subtle, but powerful, emotional, and healing (for me at least). I sincerely hope it comes my way again in my lifetime. Looking back, this chemical is one of my favorites and one that has had some sort of lasting effect on me, over time.
 
Another half a year goes by... by now I've tried plenty of 2C-B. Comparing them, I'd say that they feel fairly similar in some ways, but are quite different compounds. 2C-B is more physical and more "silly" I guess you could say, and more psychedelic (although neither is a 2C-E or even a 2C-I). 2C-B-fly is less physical and feels more natural. it's a super-sober kind of euphoria, whereas 2C-B defiunitely produces an intoxication of some sort. 2C-B makes a little more self-conscious, but both are great for socializing. However, 2C-B-fly did not make me feel at all self-conscious even if large groups of strangers.

2C-B-fly is much more subtle and in my opinion a "higher-class" substance. Both are great though. 2C-B is almost as good. :)
