2C-D - First Time

I am just going to use a different name, my style should be recognizable...
Decided to work with the 2C-D a bit. Insufflated 33 mg. of the substance.
Was shooting for 30 mg., but figured with this one a tad off was not going to be a problem. 230 pound male.

Whoa! That was strong! Once again, no distress in the nasal canal, perhaps just a tad of an irritated feeling for about five minutes. I was tripping pretty hard in ten minutes. Peaked in 15 minutes, slowly descended for half an hour, and was at someodd half the peak at one hour. By two hours, was out of the twisted zone into the afterglow, which would last to about the 6 1/2 hour point.

That's a tad hefty to go up the nose, even of this relatively weak phenethylamine. No true hallucinations, in fact no matter what I have done over the years I have never actually seen something that just was not there at all. Plenty of distortions. Color enhancement and breathing were pronounced throughtout the experience, and twisting of patterns (like wood grain, carpet patterns, etc... twisting like a spinning circle) was pronounced in the first half hour.

Never had anxiety, but I was definitely thinking in the first fifteen minutes that I hoped it would level off and not go higher. Besides, when you look at 33 mg. of a substance, that's just a lot of any flour-like substance to sniff up the nose... definitely wanted to sneeze for five minutes, but I was not going to allow that to happen.

I have worked with it a tad more, in combo with 2C-I. I find it does have a useful purpose: bump ups. With a tad of resistance in place, I took 20 mg. 2C-I and 20 mg. 2C-D orally together last night. I peaked at about the three hour mark. Now, to extend my fun, starting at the five hour mark I would insufflate 10-15 mg. of 2C-D on three occasions (spaced by an hour and a half), and it would bump me up just right into that 'zone' where music was nicely enhanced and the world was swimmy. Had a very good practice on the instrument within the first two bump ups. By the third bump, I could tell my body was getting saturated and had had enough, the effect was not as pronounced and resistance was being established solidly. I was very impressed by the effect after the second bump.

The nice thing about bumping up with 2C-D is that you are not making a six hour or more commitment. Being relatively short lived, you basically put your self into that zone for about an hour and a half, and then you zip on down to residules in about another hour. I was easily able to sleep without any other aid three hours after my last bump up.

Quite useful in it's own way. I am not picking up any significant sensual differences between these two compounds, so I see no reason to try a substantial oral dose of 2C-D. The way I am using them, they appear quite similar in effect, they are just different in potency. Of course, once again I suffered no ill body effects whatsoever throughout the experiences. Coming down was no big deal at all. It seems eating properly is important, and I always make sure to keep eating well before and once during a trip while regularly ingesting fluids. This works for me since I do not experience nausea with these compounds... albeit in the old days I would experience nausea perhaps one time in fifteen trips when I would dose with about 400 mics of LSD.

*** - I have to add a warning for the inexperienced. Do not use more than 20 mg. 2C-D for your first insufflation experience, you need to see how it will affect you and if your nose is sensitive or not. Some folks have reported terrible burning sensations putting 2C compounds up their nose. Try out a few mg. first to see how your nose reacts. And, 2C-D is a relatively inactive compound, so do not make any assumptions about weights based on this compound. Most phenethylamines would be tooted in the 10 mg. and under range, perhaps a tad higher on some, but not much. When I first work with 2C-E, I will be trying a 8 mg. oral dose, and another day insufflating 3 or 4 mg. to test it out, this just to give an idea of the wide range of potencies there are in the 2C family.
 
Interesting report! Thankyou for sharing this Quasar.
I see a few similarities between your report and the PiHKAL entry for this substance. It has been reported by more than a few people to have a synergisitic effect with the other 2C-X compunds. Have you tried dosing ~ 5-10mg range for use of this compound as a "smart drug"?. There is an interesting read on this subject here.
 
I have found 60+ mg orally 2c-d to be a lot better than something like 2c-i, It reminds me more of 2c-b maybe but I haven't used that in quite a while. It seems much more colorful than 2c-i and the visuals and patterns were just..well..better i guess. It also was mentally psychedelic, in its own good way some nice 'depth' to it but gentle and different, and also didnt have that body feeling 2c-i gives me that feels almost 'sedating' somehow (to me anyway). I really liked it, and, the only bad side effect i got, was after 4-4.5 hours me saying "dammit its about over!". I think its the cleanest feeling 2c-whatever that i've used. 2C-C is close but has that sedating effect with me but its still decent. Too bad the stuff is so expensive per dose compared to the others.. It sorta lifted my mood in a goofy, funny way, almost reminds me of low dose mushrooms - not stimulating to my body but got my brain going nicely.

I had mixed 2C-C with a sorta-low dose of 2C-D near the end and it was nice. I'd like to try a real low dose of 2C-I (like 6-7mg) with a low dose of 2C-C and if that is nice maybe 2C-I + 2C-D. There is one report on erowid about that first combo.

If those turn out to be good to mix (2c-c and 2c-d are so easy on the body), I might try a very low dose of 2c-e (for me, i'd say 4mg would be enough at first) with either of those also at low doses.
