2c-d 10mg insufflated - First time - Encouraging

Firstly, OUCH!!! To those intending to snort phenethylamines, a word of warning, you're in for a good fifteen minutes of pinkeye and a whole lotta watering! Secondly, yay! Because this is some good stuff! And not pushy good, or euphoric good, but a very clean, nice type of good, quite similar to the mood medium doses of salvia have put me in before. I'm at T+2.30 here and my nose is still a bit tangy, but my head has mostly calmed down.

So, what was it like, I hear you say? It was nice! I had a barbecue with my family today during which I ranted at length following a good many beers about the fact that I do drugs, and all things considered, that went down pretty well. Anyways I was kinda of drunk by the time I got around to snorting the 2C-D, but I don't think that really affected me during the trip, and I'm only mentioning it to set the tone.

Since I had taken such a small dose and this was supposedly a smart pill, I decided I'd try to study with the stuff in my brain. It worked! Just like everyone else said, I felt a sense of understanding, accomplishement and coherence throughout. After that I had an awkward phone conversation with my semi-ex girlfriend... and even during that I retained the same odd sense of understanding. Weird, but overall I think it was somewhat empathogenic. Although this was certainly no MDMA, I think it's very 'human' in the way it effects your interactions with others.

Subjectively speaking, the drugs effects were for me a combination of stimulation and psychedelia. Colours were certainly enhanced, And the mind had a certain 'flavour' to it that said "You're on drugs!". But I experienced few visuals, and even music was only mildly enhanced (although Brian Eno's Music for Airports is sounding damn good right about now). The psychedelia existed more in the mindframe, a sort of detatchment, but with a nice warmth for your own emotions...

Stimulant-wise, the 2C-D sure as hell counteracted the alcohol and allowed me to do my homework without drifting off. However there was no jaw-clenching or any serious stimulant-type side effects. Moodwise, the drug was overall positive, and even as I type I can still feel the odd sense of warmth it provides, a lovely cardigan-style warmth, but not enveloping so much as it is encouraging. In fact, that's exactly what I'm going to call this drug. Encouraging.

I'll be doing more of it with a friend of mine later on this month, stay tuned for another trip report!

Chalk up another mark for "Music for Airports"... nothing beats it on spacey comedowns =)

Have you tried 2C-D orally? If so, can you draw comparisons?

also, please edit your report so the title is in the "substance - experience level - creative title" format. It helps keep TR more like a database instead of a free-for-all.
 
Ah man, I love it when you hit that mental moment of "I'm on drugs? WOO!", you're not too out of it, you're cruising nicely and you can have a quiet giggle at yourself. ;)

How much more awkward do you think the phone call with your ex would have been if you weren't under the influence?
 
This was my first 2c-d experience, and was more of a 'trial run' than a full-on trip. That said I'm feeling quite a nice little afterglow, and only now do I realise that I was probably still under the influence as I wrote the above. This is some subtle stuff! When I do get around to trying 2C-D orally (and trust me, I will ;)), many a comparison will be drawn.

As regards the phone call with the ex, it was far less awkward and more constructive than usual. We have these weird little chats at least once a week, and I think this was probably one of the 'warmest' one's I've had with her in a long time.

Retrospectively I have to admit that this is one weird drug, in that it actually seemed to enhance my ability to think as opposed to replacing it with a strange dream-like treacle. What I mean is that this stuff had no stoning effects and all the insight. Quite nice for someone introspective like myself... (Although this stuff is probably too subtle for those looking for a mind-shattering euphoric high.)

Another thing that I forgot to mention, there was one physical side-effect other than a thankful smile... I got the 'hot-colds', sort of like I get when I'm coming up on ecstasy (where your body temp seems to fluctuate), and my palms were sort of sweaty. Mind you, these effects were minor and more interesting than irritating.
