The following is an account of my first 2C-D experience. Prior to this trip, I had tried taking 2C-D two hours after taking MDMA in order to test the theory that it extends the peak considerably (which it does), but had never taken it on its own.
Setting: Home and nearby neighborhood
Dosage: 50 mg
T + 0:00 My lover and I ingest 2C-D, 37 mg and 50 mg, respectively. After meditating and centering our intentions for a bit, we walk downtown as the sun sets.
T + 0:30 First alerts. I feel as though I'm floating rather than walking, and when I stop walking, warm MDMA-like body rushes pulse through me (though they're not heart-centric as they are with MDMA; rather, they feel as though they start at every point of the body simultaneously, just deep enough below the surface to not be felt until they've fully emerged).
T + 0:45 The floating, psychedelically-ascending feeling is intensifying, but it still only comes in waves. My lover and I are overcome by the beauty of the architectural patterns, the seemingly infinite levels of sound, which scintillate and rush from point to point in our auditory field (behaving almost more like visual phenomena would). While enjoying some beautiful paintings in an art gallery, the visuals begin.
T + 1:00 On the way home, the intensity of the comeup reaches its highest point. The encompassing, "I've become a conduit for all of the energy in the universe" feeling common to 2C's is definitely felt, though it is much more comfortable than with any other 2C (or LSD, for that matter). Strangely, it is incredibly gentle and unbelievably powerful at the same time. I realize that I'm also experiencing strong empathy (which borders on the erotic at times), though I don't feel particularly talkative.
T + 1:30 The visuals have fully developed, and it feels amazing to sit down. My lover and I melt into the couch, the morphing patterns become wave-like and increase in frequency, and the vigas and support beams of the house bend toward the floor. This feels remarkably like acid, but much less confusing, and perhaps even less demanding on the body (though my lover always has more body-load issues on LSD than I).
T + 2:00 I've started to test other directions in which the trip may be taken, and the results are very impressive. 2C-D constantly reminds me that I am in control, that I am a creator. Dancing is amazing, fluid, yet almost crystalline and fractal in its precision. I've been extremely relaxed so far, but I realize that I have been given an incredible well of energy from which I can draw if I so choose.
T + 3:00 Drawing feels incredible, and I find the creative space very similar to LSD. Though the visuals are fading, the oil pastels that occupy the next hour are nearly as beautiful. Each new background song prompts a new image or stroke of color, and everything fits together so beautifully.
T + 3:30 I almost feel like I have the munchies; I've never experienced hunger like this during a trip. Regardless, food is quite an experience; I sample sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent, just to make sure I'm not missing anything.
T + 4:00 We fill the house with lighted candles, sit with our backs against each other, and meditate. It is divine. I haven't felt this centered for quite some time. Single-minded is suddenly so simple to achieve, and the longer I can hold it, the stronger I feel my power grow, the more clearly I can see the lattice-work of energy running through my body. We end the session with massages, and I feel as though every pore is wide open to the external world. I am overcome with a feeling of existential bliss and euphoria that is only rivaled by the peak of my deepest acid trip. This feeling lingers for the remainder of the night.
T + 5:00 The last of the visuals fade away. I have a very slight headache, which is remedied with some electrolytes and Advil. I feel fantastic. This has been a fantastic bonding experience for my partner and I. 2C-D is her new favorite substance, and once I see what it can do at higher doses, it just might be mine, as well.
Conclusion: 2C-D is amazing, beautiful, versatile, and extremely underrated. I honestly believe that the high cost/dose ratio is well worth it. I feel as though I haven't even scratched the surface of its potential, though I caught glimpses of its ability to stimulate conversation, invoke both empathy and self-appreciation, transform music into a living entity, beautify and empower every detail of reality, and fill the initiate with feelings of profound awareness, ontological bliss, and universal connectedness. Most of the experience was a ++, with +++ moments during the peak and my meditation hour. A+ on the DOSR scale.
