2C-D (40mgs) - First time - Enhancement of Reality

This was my first time around with the Phenethylamine 2C-D. I'll have to say I was quite impressed. It was me and my friend "X" that were planning on using it together, since me and him have a special mind connection with philosophy, psychology, and such, and it seems as though 2C-D has a certain deep psychological social component to it.

Anyway, me and X both took 40mgs of 2C-D orally at his house at 6:00PM, and we headed to his dock, as he lives at a lake. There are many other people that live around this lake, and it is just such a beautiful, homely place. We slowly stepped into deep conversation as the chemical started providing a comfortable stimulation. There was a very significant feeling coming up in the body. It was very pleasurable, yet there was definitely a mildly uncomfortable aspect at times, most comparable to that of around 13-14mgs of 2C-I. In fact, the whole experience was somewhat comparable to 2C-I, yet there were many differences, especially when talking in terms of depth.

There was a feeling brewing up in me that felt very entactogenic at times, but instead of the feeling rooting itself within, and rushing out like a flood as with MDMA/MDA, it was mostly from external stimuli. The feeling was coming from nature itself, and it was flowing into me instead of rushing out. The mental aspect was very light, yet very profound at the same time. It was its greatest quality. There was a beauty in everything, reminiscent of that which is seen from the 2C-I experience, but there was much more psychological thought floating around. Ideas and conversation were more important, and my senses, especially sight, hearing, and smell were greatly enhanced. I wasn't very far from reality. In fact, it seemed to be an intense enhancement of reality instead of an emersion into the fantasy world.

As the experience fully manifested itself, I noticed that there was much emphasis on the physical feeling. With 2C-I, I feel a strong feeling within the body, both positive and negative, yet the positive isn't anything profound or "special." With 2C-D, there was a very "special" feeling in the body. It probably seems odd that I haven't yet mentioned visuals. Well, the visual aspect was quite in the background. Don't get me wrong, there were definitely visuals, but I didn't really have many full hallucinations. There was a very thin patterning around leaves and trees, the wind rippling the water across the lake was extremely facinating, and there was a time when I was talking to X, with the woods in the background, and the green leaves were patterning behind him. The patterns turned into star shapes, and many geometrical patterns, but it never took the form of Tryptamine/LSD style visuals which are what this sounds like in a basic sense. It still had that "deep" Phenethylamine feel.

Sometime during all of this we smoked a bowl of high-grade Cannabis, and as always, it synergized awesomely. It kicked the trip (if you can even really call it that) up a notch. I say this, because there was no "classic" feeling of tripping. It was all a play on the senses and psychological thought. I can't imagine the normal LSD/mushroom tripper greatly enjoying this. However, I am very open-minded towards things, and I take whatever the experience has to offer.

Next, X's girlfriend "L" stopped down and had a puppy with her. There was a certain connection I felt to the animal, yet it wasn't quite as profound as one might experience with mushrooms or MDMA/MDA/Methylone. Also, L's friend "S" and her boyfriend came down, and the social aspect of the drug started really working. I found myself very comfortable around people, even though I didn't know the two other people there.

Me and X climbed back up the steps leading away from his dock, and we sat in the grass to observe the people there. L and S were having a conversation, and X was telling me how S is L's only real friend. S's boyfriend was fishing, and he caught a couple Crappy, which made me smile because I am fond of fishing. Anyhow, as I was analyzing this conversation going on, I realized that there was a bond/connection between the two girls that neither me nor X could really understand. It was the magic of friendship. X looked at me and asked if I understood what they were talking about and laughing about, and I calmly said "no." We had plenty of good vibes and emotional feelings towards it, and I imagine he felt it more so than me because L is his girlfriend. It was an awesome introspective moment. Me and X spent a little more time talking about those unexplainable things in life, and just some of the things that make people happy and make life worthwhile. Most of the trip was over by 10:00PM. The wearing off was much like the coming up, though it was very relaxed instead of stimulating. I should also mention that the coming up felt slow and easy, much like any other Phenethylamine.

Overall, 2C-D is definitely not the 2C-E that I've been used to using lately. 2C-D is both light in intensity of experience, as well as light hearted, while still remaining much deeper than 2C-I. 2C-E is very serious, and can really show you true aspects of life that you sometimes don't really want to see. It is dark, and the depth of things pierce through you. 2C-D seemed to show me wonderful things, things that were pleasurable to look at. It seemed to be more on the side of the good things in life. Like I said, it was an enhancement of reality.

Excellent! I'm glad you could make so many comparisons to 2C-I and 2C-E as well.

I have a feeling before the summer's out I'll have my own 2C-D report up here ;)

I'm gonna stick this to the Focus On 2C-D.
 
Thank you for this report. 2C-D is currently at the top of my list of things to try next, along with 4-AcO/HO-MIPT (haven't decided which yet).

In your opinion, would it be fair to say 2C-D is more "recreational" than 2C-E, but less so than mushrooms or LSD?
 
^^
I wouldn't consider any of those drugs "recreational"... although you could use them that way.

Perhaps it would be better to ask if 2C-D is likely to be forgiving if used for purely recreational purposes... ?
 
To be honest, all of the Phenethylamines are VERY forgiving compared to Tryptamines and Ergoline alkaloids. I'm with bluedolphin.. I don't think many of these drugs have "recreational" effects, but I could actually see 2C-E being more recreational than 2C-D even. I could never have fun at a party on 2C-D, but I may on 2C-E, even though I would never want to use a psychedelic that way.

At low dose , i think 2cd is maybe good for recreatiaonal . 40mg
At hight dose , 2cd is complete paranoya and madness for me . 80 mg .
 
Well, I imagine some people could have a recreational experience, but I'm just not that type of person. I don't look for "fun" when I use psychedelics, especially Phenethylamines. Occasionally LSD can be fun for me, but I still prefer the spiritual side.
 
Awesome!! SWIM has an order comin for some 2C-d and it is all mine!!!

I absolutely cannot wait to try it! Thanks for the report, this is the one I needed to see.

Happy trippin!!
 
"recreational"

Maybe we're using the term recreational differently. I do not mean "good for going out clubbing or to a party". I mean "enjoyable and potentially euphoric", as opposed to challenging and very difficult. I consider almost all psychedelics to be recreational in this sense, at least potentially, at the right dose. Exceptions include 5-MeO-DMT and salvia.

I know that's a very subjective definition, but I just wanted to be clear that my idea of recreation still involves introspection, deep experiences, and even a little fear and/or loathing. ;)
 
VictorBorge, well in that sense, yes it is quite recreational. I tend to use the term recreational for something that causes fun in a social setting. ..Yes, I have loads of fun tripping with friends, but I am not describing that sort of social setting. When I use the term "recreational," I mean parties, social gatherings, possibly suitable for games or public settings, etc.. 2C-D is not by any means "difficult" in my opinion, though I could not see me enjoying myself on it at a party.
 
Nice report Piper :) I'm just cruising around looking at 2c-d reports because I experienced it recently and well... you know how you get all nostalgic. Anyways, that affinity for plants that comes with 2c-d; i wonder if everyone gets that?

Tell me what do you do then when you have a psychedelic experience? Sit cross legged and think? Travel with your mind? Explain to me what you mean by "I Prefer the spiritual side". I think that enjoying yourself while on psychedelics is a part of the whole experience...Wether its dancing....Hiking in the mountains, or.....Idono....What do people consider a recreational experience while on psychedelics?

Dictionary.com lol
rec·re·a·tion Audio pronunciation of "recreation" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rkr-shn)
n.

Refreshment of one's mind or body after work through activity that amuses or stimulates; play.
recreation

n : an activity that diverts or amuses or stimulates [syn: diversion]
 
In that sense, yes it is a recreational experience. However, I do NOT use psychedelics as a "party" drug or any type of social lubricant. Many times I do just meditate on visuals, visions, and revelations. Though I do enjoy myself during many of my experiences, it is not a primary factor in the experience. I am planning on trying Ayahuasca sometime in the future, and I somehow doubt that it is going to be a "fun" experience. That doesn't mean that I won't love having tried it. I don't enjoy myself when I smoke Salvia, but what I get out of it is amazing.
 
It does beg the question as to what is recreational. 5-MeO-DMT, DPT, DMT, and others were not always enjoyable. But in the end the experience was rewarding and could be said (as outlined by dictionary.com) to be recreational. Salvia divinorum was in many ways amusing, at least after it was over. 5-MeO-DMT and DMT was certainly emotionally stimulating. Of course, I would never take such psychedelics at a party!
