2C-B vs. LSD (vs Candy Flipping)

Recently, I've become rather interested in the 2C-X chemicals, primarily B and I. Many people compared 2C-B to a candy flip and I have also gotten the impression that it can be similar to acid. To those who have experienced both enough to comment, is there any truth behind this? Phenethylamines are so gosh darn fascinating! =D
 
Don't expect too much.. Friends who have dosed 25mgs of the same stuff which had me giggly, saucer eyed, fractalling eye candy OEV'd and shit at the same dose didnt feel much.. It's like a light roll in the head and perhaps similar to a lighter than visionary LSD dose..

Personally? It's become my favorite psychedelic.. Not everyone seems to react like me, however. I liked it WAY more than candyflipping, just as much as LSD on it's own and my one trial with 2c-b+LSD was my favorite psychedelic dosage ever.
 
Hm? 25 mgs is a relatively medium dose isn't it? Surprised some people wouldn't feel anything.
 
Are the 2Cs generally more mild on the ego than the tryps? I would definitely like a nice spiritual, somewhat visual experience but maybe slightly less on the other end and a little more comfortable.

It's all about dosage man.
Just start off low.

2c-b and 2c-i are very overhyped as "the best 2c-x's ever!" btw.

2c-p blows them out of the water, as far as potency by weight (and length of trip) is concerned.
 
I guess they just feel like the least intimidating to me. I tend to take these things rather seriously :) I wouldn't even trust my scale to measure 2C-P correctly! (Non fatal overdose reported at only 12 mg!)
 
25mgs is the heaviest I've gone.. Really don't feel the need to dose higher as the effects were completely fleshed out. Also to answer your question in the OP; no it isn't really similar to acid/candyflipping for me.. Much less distortion.. Like a clearheaded rollfry, but nothing at all like either other drugs.
 
In my opinion you can't even compare 2C-B with candyflipping. 2C-B at low to medium dosage hasn't the depth and power LSD offers.
I hate it when people compare it to rolling. If you look at the pharmacology of 2C-B and mdma, you'll see it is rather impossible to feel like rolling on 2C-B.
On the other hand 2C-B and LSD can strengthen your feelings (like euphoria). In theory it is possible too experience euphoria in a 'rolling' way in the right set/setting with a good dose.
It all came from the '90. 2C-B was sold as an XTC replacer....
 
if you're looking for a non-threatening psychedelic then i'd say it's 2c-b all the way. QuasiModo's post echos my experience, almost everyone has reacted the same as me but there was one person who doesn't even have any experience with psychedelics, very little experience with phenethylamines in general, meanwhile they've been my lifeblood for a decade or so. that person has to dose 15mg more than me to get what i'm getting out of it. that's pretty significant. other phenethylamines effect this person far more than they do me, so it's weird.

i wouldn't describe 2c-b as being like a candyflip but i can see where they get that from. 2c-b is like an LSD come-up, the part where it first starts ramping up and you feel stimulated, goofy, everything is fun and hilarious, before the LSD peak really begins and the experience starts to get deep. it's like that, it plateaus mentally right at that. to me, 2c-b be does feel kind of rolly but much more mild. it feels like a speedy roll (mdma+amphetamine) but it feels like a super light dose like maybe a 50-ish mg concoction. then toss some visuals in there. that, in my opinion, is 2c-b.

but the thing with comparing it to candyflipping is that mdma + lsd have an insane synergistic effect, candyflipping doesn't feel like you would think combining mdma + lsd would feel like. it's a whole new level of euphoria and effects when you put them together, if you've ever done a heavy dose of both of them for an intense candyflip you know what i mean. if you're very experienced with both lsd and mdma individually, you think you know what you're in for when you take them together. then when you do finally combine them - it's all new unexplored terrain.

so on paper, yeah 2c-b is kind of like a more light-hearted lsd mixed with a small dose of a speedy roll. the euphoria is there, you're upbeat and feel good but it's not rushy and certainly not nearly as rewarding. so the depth, potential for therapeutic use, spirituality, empathy, etc, is not there. BUT 2c-b is just really good fun, for people who want a psychedelic for recreational purposes only i recommend 2c-b. BTW i don't like 2c-i that much, it has some appealing points to it but it's just entirely too stimulating for my taste. with 2c-i, the come-up has a nice euphoria but it typically ramps up to a bodyload for me. 2c-b's stimulation isn't so strong that it's a bodyload, it's just strong enough to jolt your ass up and make you wanna move.

I think qualitative aspects of effects far more important than maximizing duration and potency.

^ This. Also, if someone enjoys 2C-B and 2C-I a lot, they probably prefer a calmer more recreational experience, and so higher potency will actually prove more difficult if anything.

Plus, it's never good to say a drug is better than another, it really differs from person to person. 2C-P might be your favourite 2C, but for someone else it could be the least enjoyable :)
 
2CB feels like mescaline light; a very different sensation to the crawling-feeling i get with an ergoline

i have never combined 2CB and LSD but i imagine it would be far less exhausting - and thus far more appealing - then the candyflip
 
Interesting, I haven't heard it compared to mecaline before. I guess that makes sense as there is the phenethylamine connection.
 
had 2cb on 3-4 occasions many years ago and loved it, wish i could find the stuff these days. Having tried Lsd just over 3 months ago (tripping 3 times) i can say a combo of lsd and 2cd would be great if taken at the right time frame, but candy flipping is something i havent done yet so i cant comment!
 
Depends on what 2c-x, dose, etc.


When you described to me what you were looking for in a trip it shouted out Mescaline... Not a huge dose, maybe 300mg or so...
