I should mention that I had about 3 shots of whiskey prior to insufflating the 2C-B. That was a bad idea and I would suggest that nobody do that in the future.

Anyway, some LSD trippers had just come over to my place, and I was in the mood to trip but it was too late to take LSD or anything else really. So my neighbor, my girlfriend, and I decided it wouldn't be a bad idea to split a 23mg dose of 2C-B three ways, insufflated.

I have taken 2C-B orally three times, and insufflated it a few times, once mixed with MDMA and once mixed with LSD. I find the insufflated effects last about half as long, and there is a bit less euphoria. Otherwise I don't notice a huge difference. Oral is definitely nicer though.

So, with about 6 people up in my room, passing the ganja bowl around (I did not partake), I divided up by eye the 23mg 2C-B dose into three 7mg - 8mg doses. I took the first sniff.

FUCK!! That hurts way worse than I remember. Wow, what a bitch! My eyes started watering and I tried to conceal my pain because I knew two people still had to sniff their doses and I didn't want to make them nervous.

So my roommate and my girl sniffed their doses and had similar reactions. So now three of us were sitting around, saying "FUCK! Woooow that hurts man! Holy shit I don't remember it being that bad...." ... meanwhile a few acid trippers and a couple stoned people are sitting around watching us.

Then I got kind of nauseous. Oh shit, that booze isn't sitting well at all. I was distracted by the severe pain in my nose, which felt like some kind of parasitic insect was boring it's way up into my brain. Then the nausea came back. Yep.

"I gotta blow this shit outta my nose..."

I made my way to the bathroom and easily threw up. As I did this I noticed the puke was very colorful. When I was done, I felt somewhat better and went over to the sink to gargle some water. I looked in the mirror and noticed that my face was .... well, now this is hard to explain. Patterned? Geometrical? Fluid? After all the trip reports I've written I would think I could explain this better. Anyway, my face was most definitely "visually active", although not in any extreme sense. I looked at the bathroom tiles and they were flowing and patterning as well. The ceiling was crawling almost exactly the same way LSD makes it crawl.

Actually, I could compare the visual intensity to ~70ug of LSD. The colors were different... more heavily saturated hues than LSD, and without the neon-blue-electric outline that LSD gives me. But the movement and patterning was similar.

The intoxication was not similar at all. I felt a bit drunk, which was unlikely because of the alcohol because I barely felt the booze on it's own.

I made my way back to my room, through a hallway that was flowing and patterning (though relatively mildly.... I was somewhere between a ++ and a +++ at the peak of this "trip"). I put "trip" in quotations because there was little deep thoughts to be had, and at this point it mostly felt like I had been smacked in the face by a strange drug.

My nose was clogged in a strage way, and it kind of felt like I had a head cold. The mucus wasn't really "normal"... extra slimy in a gross way.

So, back in my room, two of the acid trippers had just returned from a cigarette and were talking complete nonsense, persistantly and loudly. My neighbor, who also snorted a dose of the 2C-B, made a shooting-myself-in-the-head-with-a-gun gesture which they couldn't see. But they were talking directly to me, even though I had no idea what the fuck they were talking about. So I just said I was too fucked up to understand what they were talking about, but dispite that fact I was pretty sure they were talking nonsense anyway.

The three of us who had done the 2C-B were definitely in a different headspace than the acid trippers. Like, we were zoning out, just trying to cope with the sudden onset of the effects combined with nausea (we had all had a drink or two before doing the 2C-B.. I never get nauseous normally) and a persistant pain in our noses.

So pretty soon the acid trippers must have caught our vibe because they left. That was actually a relief, and as soon as they left we sprawled out on my bed and mellowed out. We put on some tunes and the trip seemed to plateau, which was a very welcome shift in effects from the rough comeup.

The pleateau was very mellow, this was probably about 30 minutes after sniffing the 2C-B. We listened to some tunes, talked about the evening, and lazed about.

Eventually we went downstairs and watched the last 45 minutes of "A Fish Called Wanda" which I thought was really amusing, especially the character with a speech impediment. By this time the body high was pretty enjoyable, but not really comparable to anything else I've done except 2C-B.

When this was done we smoked some pot, which mixed nicely with the remaining 2C-B, and watched an hour of Beavis and Butthead. Fucking brilliant =D

All in all, the "trip" (really it wasn't much of a trip... visuals and a body high) took about 15 minutes to peak, another hour of peak effects, and a 2 hour comedown until the effects could no longer be distinguished from the ganja.

I doubt I will be snorting 2C-B again because it hurts worse than snorting fiberglass cut with asbestos.
 
Wow, it sounds like you got fairly full effects from such a [relatively] low dose of 2C-B. I knew you needed less of the drug when insufflated, but that still sounds like it hit you harder than expected. I probably wouldnt have taken it after alcohol, it really degrades most other drugs effects for me, but it sounds like that wasnt a prob besides the nausea

nice report :)
 
^ It's one of my favorite drugs, and it has given me some extremely deep experiences (only a couple, can never find it), but because of BD's low dose, and possible combination with alcohol, his trip wasn't destined to be the most deeply involved one. :)

It's a great substance though - for moderation anyway. Have heard people doing it "quite a bit" have had problems, BD one of them.
 
Yeah, don't take 2C-B too often. It gets fucking weird in a "haha now you are poisoned and I'm going to fuck with your head" kind of way.

I personally never found it to be very deep, even with oral doses that were strong enough to give me a complete visual white out.

It's a great empathogen/entactogen though... it's best use IMO is to mix with MDMA and have sex all night long. :)
 
^agreed.

I had a large amount of B, and took it on and off for about 2 weeks straight, sometimes taking a day off, sometimes not. after a while, it seemed like I was just doing it because it was there. weird.
 
Great report mate!!

Yeah I abused 2C-B, but not as much as I did 2C-I, and my trips became very mewntally toxic. My head was totally deluded and seeking fear. I ran away from cops that weren't even chasing me last trip, Then talked to dead people in a graveyard which I thought was totally normal.
 
^^
Yeah, weird! A couple years ago when I first dabbled with the stuff, after a few trips I noticed they started becoming a bit more "evil" or "toxic". I do enough drugs to increase my chance of getting schizophrenia without 2C-B ;)
 
I "saw" on my first 2C-B trip the way this thing could turn evil. Splatt when did it start going "evil" for you? I'd like to avoid this at all costs :D
 
Yeah, I've also noticed that 2C-B has a dark side. For me, this shows itself when I mix it with other drugs or go too high on the dosage.

Nice report, BD :)
 
^ Care to expand with what you mixed it with that it started to turn bad?
 
Unfortunately for me, I experienced this all too early (maybe 3rd time) with 2C-I. A friend gave me a dose that was supposedly weighed out, but either he didn't weigh it out or made a big mistake, because it was a big overdose. My heart was racing so fast, and I had so many physical side effects (not to mention the visuals and mental effects) that I just knew something was gonna land me in the hospital. It didn't, but I don't know how. I was tripping so hard that every time I moved my head at all I could hear in great detail the wind passing over my ears that sounded like loud shreiking noises.
 
Snorting it seems to do trick, ready or not. I didn't really find 20mg orally to be anything special, but another 10mg snorted shot right to WFO.

Er, cocaine.

Did that twice ages ago, in a desperate bid to stave off the coke comedown. It was prolly the coke that made it go bad, not the 2C-B.... psychedelics just don't mix with coke.

But once I snorted 10mg 2cb followed by another 10mg an hour or so later and found that all the effects were mental, with little entactogenic or visual properties.

I'm happy keeping it below 25mg and dosing orally now, though the rectal route might be interesting. Snorting it isn't much fun..... it's like someone's poking red-hot needles up yer nose.

Some people I know swear that snorting is the only way to go with 2C-B. Guess we're all different.
 
What a difference. I found the visuals to be crazy after snorting. BTW, I have to agree about the coke.
 
My most intense trip on this stuff was around 18-21mg. Because I snorted a tiny bit from a weighged 25mg capsule for clubbing one night (got some slight visuals and warpages but mostly an mdma substitute with a bit of weirdness at this dose)..

And it was around my fifth, sixth or seventh time, when it started getting really weird. I am sure I could enjoy the experience now.. But you stay the fuck away from 2C-B if you're having some problems, k? :) It's not an MDMA. or Acid Lite :)
 
nice report .. btw can anyone comment on what might be a moderate dosage for insufflation? 5mg?
 
took around 13mg of this stuff a couple of weeks ago, didn't really think much of it at all even the Nos didn't cut it during the experience i felt a pill would have given me something better. As usual nice report BD i will have to try a higher dose of this substance before i give it the finger.

peace
