I measure out fifty-milligrams of 2C-D. It is a fluffy, gleaming-white powder and I dissolved that into ten-milliliters of distilled, sterile water. This is held in a glass vial for ease of use and measurement. The 2C-D almost immediately went into solution and required no heat and just a little shaking.

5:53 PM: Measuring with a syringe, I drew up one-milliliter of the solution which contained five-milligrams of 2C-D. This experiment is to better understand and experience this molecule’s alleged “smart-drug properties” for a future study I plan on conducting. It had a slightly bitter flavor, but it wasn’t bad at all.
6:19 PM: Definitely feeling an alert. Difficult to define. I feel a kind of warmth in the chest, and the knowledge that I have taken something. Not really stimulating, just warm.
6:40 PM: At this point, the effects seem to be fully developed. I guess I am at a plus-one. There is warmth in the chest and a slight increased interest in activities I am doing. But there is nothing that I can feel to really be considered cognitive-enhancement. I felt more from piracetam, and find d,l-amphetamine to be a much better study aid then this. There are no amphetamine-like feelings with five-milligrams of 2C-D.
7:03 PM: Not much more than before. It’s been well over an hour, and from my prior experience with 2C-D, I know this is as far as it is going to go. I would describe this as a “buzz” really more than anything else.
7:19 PM: I just read an essay given to me by an on-line acquaintance. I found the 2C-D seemed to increase my interest in reading the work, but I also can not honestly say it is not a placebo result. There is no truly discernible activity beyond the “phenethylamine body-buzz” that I can actually confirm is occurring. I do not notice any cognitive-enhancement or “smart-drug properties.”
7:34 PM: Much of the same. If there is any cognitive-enhancement, it is simply because I can feel a small amount of a psychedelic in my body and thus I am more alert. But there are no psychedelic effects at this level. All I feel is just the warm feeling in the chest, and perhaps now some mild stimulation. But not like d,l-amphetamine stimulation. I have no desire to work, or do anything productive. I just feel a little “uppity” as if I’ve had too much coffee.
8:07 PM: Again, the same. Warm body buzz, but no cognitive-enhancement. I am going to call this experiment “finished” and smoke some cannabis to relax. There is some slight residual stimulation and now a tiny bit of nausea and I am hoping the pot helps this. But it is more annoying that anything. And again, the stimulation is not like d,l-amphetamine stimulation. I do not feel productive or want to work.
8:15 PM: Just took a balloon of nitrous oxide and the experience was short, but very intense. I know the 2C-D enhanced the effects of the gas, however as the gas wore off I did not notice anymore effects from the 2C-D. The cannabis did not increase the effects either. Five-milligrams of 2C-D is definitely a sub-threshold psychedelic dosage, but I bet it would increase the effects and add a little “flavor” if one were to take 2C-D at this dosage with another psychedelic.
9:00 PM: I don’t really feel anything left at all, and I am going to go out and visit with friends.
________________________________________________________________________
Conclusion: The main reason I did this experiment was that I want to test 2C-D against a few other molecules in a controlled study and see if 2C-D shows any unique cognitive enhancing properties. I felt that I needed to know what a “smart drug” level was like. I also need experience 2C-D at the five-milligram level because I must now find the equipotent dosages of the other phenethylamines I plan to use in my experiment to verify if 2C-D does show cognitive-enhancing properties.
I personally did not find that it was a “smart-drug” at five-milligrams. But I also did not take any cognitive tests before and during the experiment to really see. I simply went by what I felt. I think d,l-amphetamine is a much better tool for concentration because it actually works for me at a five-milligram dosage, and there is no nausea from d,l-amphetamine.
I feel if I had increased the dosage of 2C-D to ten-milligrams, psychedelic effects would begin. And smaller dosages would probably have less “smart drug” properties than what I took. So, I am not personally comfortable with calling 2C-D a “smart-drug” in small dosages, but I will wait and see what the results are when I test it with other people. A full report of the methodology for the study, and what my findings are will be published.
But as for my personal feelings, I think the cognitive-enhancement this chemical is said to have does not exist. At least in my case, there are better things I have used for that purpose and I will stick with them. I do however think that 2C-D is a fantastic tool at psychedelic levels, and I will always keep it in the arsenal for such use.

But hopefully I'm just being a worry-wart.
