My history with 2C-C...
By the time I got around to trying 2C-C, I had already tried 2C-B, 2C-I, and 2C-D several times. I also had tried a very small dose of 2C-E which gave me no reason to try a higher dose. Of these other 2C-x drugs I'd tried, I started with 2C-I, which I found fascinating at first but ultimately too stimulating and it sometimes gave me stomach issues, including one really bad bout of fetal-position tripping because the heartburn and nausea were so bad.
2C-B was the next one I tried. My first trip caused me to tremor quite a bit, which I now realize may have been close to a seizure. Anyway, this chemical can have a nice euphoric push for me, but it's too pushy and has a definite sinister edge.
2C-D was pretty good (tried this one 3 times, I believe), but by the time I discovered this I was starting to think phenethylamines were mostly useless. The 2C-D trips lacked the depth I was looking for and it didn't feel quite as benign on my body as I'd have liked -- but certainly "healthier" feeling than 2C-I or 2C-B.
I've never tried a 2C-T-x of any sort because none of them sounded worth it to me. And I've grown quite a bit more selective in terms of what psychedelics I'll take.
So, after a while of not tripping much (I didn't take one psychedelic drug at All Good Festival 2005! haha), I happened upon a good deal for some 2C-C. I read some trip reports... including some really glowing ones from morninggloryseed ( <--- probably the first trip report I ever read was this guy's ), so I decided to give it a shot. After all the stimulating nature of other phenethylamines was my biggest gripe. If 2C-C proved to be a mellower version of 2C-D I would have been happy.
But it turned out to be quite a bit better! The first time I took 2C-C, I started with, what 40mg or so? Then redosed with 60mg as soon as I felt it coming on. Then wrote a trip report:
2C-C (100mg) -- First time -- By far the best PEA! One of the best psyches ever!
Got a little heat in the PD forum for being an irresponsible asshat
Since then I've taken it a number of times, and found it to be incredibly versatile, easy on the body, thought-provoking, and a beautiful sensory enhancer. Watching Forrest Gump on 2C-C was *almost* as good as the first time I watched it on LSD.
2C-C can be anything from a gentle psychedelic enhancer to a visual-soupery all-encompassing strong +++. But I have never felt my mind or body threatened by it. Quite the contrary!

So I'm going to write about last night now.
My girlfriend decided to go out to a bar with her girl friends. I didn't really feel like supporting this particular establishment last night. I like my booze cheap and in small doses. Otherwise I get cranky
So she left at about 8:45pm and said she'd be back around 12:00am and I had a genius idea pop into my head. "Hmm, is it really true if you make a solution of about 1/2 the amount of 2C-C you need orally, and squirt it up your arse, you get an equal trip but the come-up is almost instantaneous?"
It's not very often that an idea like this pops into my head, but it seemed like just the way to have a great trip and probably be pretty much sober by the time my girl got back. So, 38mg was dissolved in 1ml water, and you can figure out what happened after that. You might think 38mg x 2 = 76mg -- Isn't that a pretty big dose? Well, you find your own target dose for this drug if you decide to try it. Some people would be blown away hard by this while others would find it underwhelming.
The solution was kind of uncomfortable for about 5 or 10 minutes, at which point I presume it was more or less soaked up because I was already experiencing some body energy and mild visual enhancement. Since I knew this was going to be a rocket-ride comeup I just sat there and let the trip develop into a +++ over the course of 20-30 minutes. I find that the come-up of a trip is almost always the least useful part. The oral 2C-C comeup is almost always extremely smooth and gradual. This comeup was quite a bit quicker, and my body seemed to notice and re-adjust it's primary functions accordingly (this would happen on an oral dose of most psychedelics).
The body energy was somewhat stimulating from the get-go, which I think is a result of being absorbed so quickly. But it settled down into the normal euphoric and relaxing body energy as the comeup settled into the peak.
At this point I had to take a dump. Taking a crap on any psychedelic is always an interesting experience. When you gotta go, you gotta go
So, with that over and done with, I went back to my couch and thought I should put some music on to accompany the awesome visual experience surrounding me. 2C-C visuals can be pretty complex, and involve a lot of flowing of objects, waves in the air, patterning, and things appearing more dimensional. I was definitely surrounded by a very psychedelic looking room! 2C-C visuals are certainly among the most beautiful there are. Other contenders being: LSD, DMT, Mescaline... hmm... yep I think 2C-C is up there with those good 'uns in terms of the visual beauty. It's all so flowing and relaxed, which is connected with the way you feel. For example, if a wave of euphoric energy washes over my body on 2C-C (as does happen in waves), a portrait in my peripheral vision might totally come to life in three dimensions and capture my attention. Or the morphing/flowing/visual wave-energy in the room would pick up accordingly.
In this way I feel very attached to the visual experience, which is another way I liken it to LSD. And since the visuals are beautiful, calm, and flowing, that is how I feel.
So, I decided to put on "Soft Bulletin" by the Flaming Lips. It had been a long time since I listened to this album all the way through in a proper fashion.
And, good Lord, was this ever a "proper fashion" to listen to this album! I mean, I love the Flaming Lips to begin with, but I always thought Yoshimi was their masterpiece. Well, let's just say I like "Soft Bulletin" better now
The message of each song was clear to me, and seemed like it was designed for me. This put me in a deeply contemplative state of mind, and as the album progressed it seemed like a psychedelic soundtrack to my life. I made peace with certain parts of my life and decided to work on other parts more actively. I actually had quite a bit of serious business to think of that night. Under the influence of 2C-C I thought about each of these topics without feeling overwhelmed, and I gave them serious consideration. None of the MDMA-type bullshit like, "Starting tomorrow I'm going to start smiling at everybody to make everyones day just a little better!!". And not like LSD either, where I'd have a difficult time sticking to one serious thought at a time (although I will not deny the contemplative and healing power of LSD in any way!). But I thought through things relaxed, focused, and came to sensible and *good* resolutions.
By about 11:00pm the 2C-C peak had started to wear off and I knew I wouldn't really be tripping for much longer. What a quick ride! And seemingly so productive! I listened to some more music and smoked some pot, enjoying the good vibes that were still flowing through me.
By 12:00am, my girlfriend showed up and I was 95% back to baseline. Well, I was stoned, having smoked another bowl since my last mention
When she returned home we had a nice discussion about some of the things I'd been thinking about that had to do with "us". I felt clearheaded and rational discussing these topics, and had no problem recalling the things I thought about and decided earlier. I was left in a good mood and accidentally fell asleep on the couch at 1:30am. I should mention I am somewhat of an insomniac and falling asleep *accidentally* is something I almost never experience!
This stuff is smooth, folks. It left me feeling better off afterwards than before I had taken it. It was a very therapeutic session, especially during the peak listening to The Soft Bulletin. The fact that such a complete and beautiful trip can be packed into a 3 hour time span, leaving you feeling not even a tiny bit cracked out afterwards, is why I decided to write this 2C-C appreciation report.
The oral method is fantastic, but I have to say, I just might prefer the "other" way
