Ok if you want to skip the boring preface part just got down a bit and start reading from The Trip.
Preface: Ok so 150mg sounds a bit extreme and possibly foolish. It's possible I may have built up some tolerance from taking 2C-C the previous night. So I do not know if 150mg would be too much or okay for someone else. Be careful. I recommend if you do use 2C-C to only use small doses first and see how it works on your body and mind. Basically I dosed myself with amounts spaced though the previous night without any success in reaching any actual trip or any visuals. I found it mild and sedating and fell asleep dissapointed. I don't want to repost everything I did the night before this experience so this link may answer the questions why I decided to take such a large amount... http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?t=242487
I'd also read many 2C-C trip reports Erowid, Bluelight and also Pihkal. I believe it was BlueDolphin who wrote a report taking 100mg and also others writers taking 75mg. I had also tested my 2C-C which I believe to be from a good source and relatively pure (unlike the last place I got that light pinkish or slightly tan 2C-I). Test results were:
Marquis - A light, greenish yellow then slowly turns a lime green after a min or 2
(note the change from yellow to green is quite slow)
Mecke - Yellowish green, slowly turns yellow with a light red ring around the edge of reagent liquid
Robadope - Powder sunk and turned a dark purple but no colour spread. (Colour was a similar to that seen when testing a very small sample of MDMA with Marquis reagent)
So this report is the second attempt in taking 2C-C and the night after my first attempt with this chemical. I would call this my 1st real trip on this chemical.
The trip:
I take approx 75mg at 5:20am. Around 30mins or 40mins I walk a bit intoxicated. The ground seems closer. I feel some agitation and tension. Around 7:30am I feel the same sleepy feeling come over me as the night before and things seem a little bit more fun but nothing that interesting. Some nausea feeling, more just an upset stomach that food doesn’t help. I decide to take another 75mg. I realise I am pausing to do things. My head is a bit spaced. I want to turn off the lights. I lye down as I just feel too tired and sleepy and want to relax from the tension and agitation. This is maybe like taking a few temazapams. Nothing that interesting. Over the next while as I relax I and close my eyes I think about many issues. They come to mind by themselves. I realise I am in some kind of trip as I am now aware of myself and issues of my life like a kind of 3rd person perspective of my life. The 3rd person perspective is always when I know I’m on a trip. I am at some times tense as I am torn between making decisions. It feels rather cold and intellectual. I don’t feel my mind trailing off on any emotional, important trains of thought or great insights as on most trips.
By 8:20am I am getting visuals. It came in an unexpected way. No colour bleeding coming from pictures that then come alive like on 2C-I. No oozing colours pulsing on tiles. I first notice the visuals when I am looking at the wall. As my eyes relax and they loose focus I begin to see patterning. I see a mirrored rainbow of colours and patterns in a spiral that now fill my whole field of vision and extend out to me. I feel drawn by the moving spiral colours and a strong feeling that comes over me. A very relaxed enticing feeling to let go. I am drawn to forget about worrying about things and just be go into a peaceful trance looking at the nice moving visuals. I close my eyes. I open them again. I was afraid before to fall asleep as I did last night. I am afraid that if I relax 150mg of 2C-C might be wasted as an expensive sleeping aid. Somehow I manage to let go. I let go of many worries. I don’t care any more if I do fall asleep. Somehow I let go of worrying needlessly about many negative scenarios I have invented in my head that could happen in the future. I realise my worries are fears, fears of being hurt again. I realise I have been worrying and trying to plan many things in the future to try and make sure I am always prepared for many negative possibilities. This hasn’t really been helping me though. Only worrying me and keeping me afraid. I realise it’s ridiculous as I know I cannot plan against all embarrassing or vulnerable situations. I realise it’s better to just relax clear my head and deal with each day as it comes. Some times I open my eyes to watch the visuals on my walls. I feel relaxed and for the most of this time I just lay back in bed with my eyes closed and watch the issues and scenarios unfold. I go through some visions and issues that are tense. I naturally want to tighten up my body. I wanted to fight against it. Somehow it feels good. I realise later that relaxing and not fighting against the tension and anxiety is best way. Some things are painful to watch. I experience a vision where I am dying and also where a baby is born that I realise is me. This is pretty cool. (Heh heh… maybe I’ve been reading too many LSD psychotherapy manuals?!?) This still wasn’t all that difficult though. Still there was fear at times but nothing too extreme. No overload of paranoia.
The visuals where probably strongest for about 2hrs and still if I remember right some visuals at 4hrs. I did however feel as though I leaned the trick of seeing them. It’s just like looking at those 3D Magic Eye books. Relaxing the eye, loosing focus of what you’re looking at and then you get an illusion of how close or how far away objects are.. they seem to float. Just looking around out of focus like that and then the imagination and nice visuals kick in. Its like a kind of meditation because once I relax and loose, the visuals start and my mind is blank. The more I watch my focus is drawn back on myself and I am just aware of being.
I spent almost the whole trip in bed and felt this was a great scenario just like in LSD psychotherapy manuals. I think it makes the trip stronger and more involving on personal issues. Also a great place to feel safe. The main reason however is because the 2C-C is so sedating and sleepy feeling I just wanted to lay down. The main sleepy feeling past after the first couple of hours. Strangely enough even though I relaxed and tried to sleep for many hours I couldn’t. Soon after the visuals started and for the next 4 or 5 hours afterwards time seemed to move very slowly. I was very awake and new I was on a trip. I could close my eyes and drift off on a trip. It’s possible I was as though asleep just that I was aware of everything and still knew I could open my eyes at any moment and be awake. Around 12:30pm the visuals were only very mild. I may have slept some time after that. I’m not sure. I know I opened my eyes a number of times around 6:00pm but can’t be sure If I even slept at all. I think I did sleep a few hours at the end though.
This turned out to be not as peaceful or relaxing I would have hoped for like MDMA. Also I was expecting something a little more interesting and intense. Visuals weren’t anything that spectacular and it frustrated me the sleepiness and having to play around with such high dosages to get beyond it and launch me into an actual trip. Overall this was not exactly my flavour but then when is the psychedelic experience? It’s always a little raw and soul piercing. Overall I’m thankful that this substance was quite a gentle trip. I was led more in the direction of relaxing and not worrying so much. I wasn’t bothered by intense fears or feeling very uncomfortable/weird/embarrassed as I have on most other psychedelics. So far this has probably been the most gentle psychedelic substance I’ve experimented with except for say MDMA (which I guess is in some ways psychedelic for me). I feel hopeful that I have learned useful things from this trip. In some ways it was feeling very natural and like a relaxed mediation. I can't help but now wonder if such experiences can be achieved in mediation.
