2C-C - experienced - 80mg

Without going into details the last 8 months of my life have been a kind of hell - I've had good reasons not take any psychedelics for a good while - I choose 2C-C since I didn't want anything heavy.

Somewhere around 1 ½ hr after ingestion (80mg) I could feel the 2C-C kicking in as a slightly metallic, speedy feeling – but quite fuzzy & soft. Soon there were some very subtle changes to my vision. A slight increase in colour perception and perhaps a hint of movement. I felt strongly inclined to lie down and slumped on the sofa and became involved in my friend’s ceiling, which had an unusual craggy geometric design – actually the design might be as common as muck for all I know, but it was a real nice change from my bedroom ceiling, which I have viewed under the influence of dozens of weird drugs. I felt really quite good. I visited the toilet, viewing the floor and tiles with interest. I then paced around a bit. As with my previous experiences with 2C-C the main effects seemed to be a pleasant mellow stimulation with a slight exaggeration of the visual field and little if any body load or anorexia. There is a distinctly sedate note to the intoxication. I did wonder what to do a bit and decided on more slumping. Mentally there was very little thought nor much need to communicate. I went outside where my girlfriend was sitting on the lawn – I told her I felt really good and lay down with her – we briefly got talking and I became very emotional and burst into tears and expressed some of the fears that have haunted me these past months. The next thing I was aware of was trying to piece together what I was looking at. I was lying on the ground and the tree just above me was a very young birch tree and I had become totally lost in the roar of the sun-mirrored leaves rushing in the wind above me. It seemed beautiful. The sun was very bright – I was lost in the moment. I turned round and got engrossed in a lump of wood with the wiggly markings under the bark of some insect before returning in.
I still felt little inclination to talk about anything – there seemed a slight absence of thought, as outside. I may add here that, unusually for me when tripping, I was vapourising homemade hashish throughout which may add to this effect. In fact I have to say that cannabis is almost necessary to bring 2C-C into the open. I sat down and felt really centred-empty-in the moment. Zen like. I then managed in some fuddled fashion to roll a joint for my friend before he retired to his room.(He had swallowed 21mg 2C-I 2hrs earlier) I felt very speedy but quite good. Very soon others arrived, but the effects were now definitely waning, with no negatives except a headache which I don’t necessarily relate to the 2C-C. 2C-C is extremely short; most of it was really over in an hour with a few hours of slight after effects. I have taken it perhaps six times and always liked it – there are almost no negatives except one – a lack of significant positives. 2C-C feels quite ‘organic’ in a way and the experience is very mild and manageable for almost anyone. It leaves me feeling far, far less exposed than other such compounds. Pleasant as it can be it is not quite a complete package. This was probably my ‘profoundest’ trip on 2C-C, but despite my perhaps therapeutic outburst this time I don’t think it really has a large amount of potential. All in all, even with cannabis, it’s thin overlay of effects are subtle – whilst this may make it malleable I think for many it will be a case of it simply being too soft and elusive.

An interesting side note: I had slowed down on but was still taking mirtazipine but only experienced a modest dampening of 2C-C it seemed. The next week a 20mg Ethacetin challenge was made but only experienced a mild +1 for 2hr or so
 
I've started to view 2c-c as a valuable tool for introspection. The times I've done it, I find myself reflecting a lot on my life and how I got here and where I want to go. The kind of reflection I would probably not enjoy, or even attempt, sober. The kind of reflection I might try on e or shrooms, but then my conclusions would probably be invalid because of the influence of said substance. With 2c-c, I can reflect and reach valuable conclusions that remain valuable days after I've sobered up.

I mention this because there are a lot of posts discounting 2c-c as much of anything, particularly for one seeking some kind of personal growth, but for me it is perhaps the best drug of those I've tried for finding valuable insights that remain valuable after I have sobered up.

I also found 2C-C to be very therapuetic for me. I've only tried it once but I sat myself down on a mountain and took it and did nothing but think about my life for 5 hours. The fact that it is so gentle is a plus in my book cause it allows you to direct the trip where you want to go unlike some of the stronger psychedelics.

I agree with Bip in the sense that the drug seems to have little 'personality', or it doesn't direct you in any particular direction. But that's what the 2C-C trips is all about. Going where you want to go. Take some 2C-E or LSD if you want a more forceful trip. I thought 2C-C was great but it would suck to have to pay market price for a gram seeing as how the dosages are so high.

Nice report.
 
yes I think if 2C-C was $50-60 per gram it would be a lovely short thing to have around & mix with weed or MDMA (from what I hear)

I don't think 2C-C is without potential just that a good many may be unmoved. I think this may work well for some where 2CE/LSD would just terrorise them.

Like I say I've taken it several times - since in the past I don't think I have got the full picture from one go - sometimes one doesn't have enough the first time or is over enthusiastic. It's very nice but, for me at least, falls a little short - what a shame!
 
Thanks for the report and your thoughts on 2C-C.
You seem to have the opinion of most people about this material.
 
Interesting read on a "new" chem...
and some good insight as to the dosage curve (if there even is one??)

peace!
