Well, I spent last night tripping on 2C-E for the first time. Dosed around 12 mg, and half-heartedly wrote a goofy little trip-log during the effects, with a mini essay on humanity & meat as an added bonus! I kind of like it - I think it conveys the sort of analytical thinking that 2C-E seems to promote, with all of the little philosophical tidbits and whatnot thrown in there. At the end, I try to describe what was really going on from a sober perspective.
-----------------------------------
T + 0:00 = 1:20 A.M.
T + 0:18 - probably not really feeling any non-psychosomatic effects yet, but i'm in an excellent mood. i'm thinking about all the people i know - normally such a thought wouldn't provide a lot of stimulation, but for some reason i find it fascinating that i know so many various personalities.
T + 0:29 - still not anything definitely drug-induced. in a surprisingly glowing mood. i was actually in a bit of a "meh" mood when i first downed the yucky stuff, and i had predicted that it would unfavorably affect my little trip here, but thankfully i'm being proven wrong!
T + 0:45 - still happy! dammit, though - i've been meaning to get up and put some shorts on since the beginning of this whole experiment - i've failed to do so as of yet! i'm hot, but that makes me lazy... [I was wearing sweat-pants at the time.]
T + 1:10 - feeling pretty damn stimulated for it being 2:30 in the morning. still, sobriety is pretty crazy too,
so i wouldn't put it past my own unaltered brain.
T + 1:39 - i've failed to update my trip-log in awhile, but i'll say that my vision has been subtly morphing for awhile now, which is especially apparent when i stare at a drawing of mine that's on my wall. it's very intricate with a lot of patterning lines. it pulsates with life! the music that i'm listening to is really becoming one with reality. actually, reality is no longer. no longer do i instinctively believe that what i see IS - visual morphing is a great reminder that my life is a totally subjective experience.
T + 1:45 - what a BEAUTIFUL little bubble of perception i'm in! ... for me to NOT be "walled off" to reality... i would have to BE reality entirely! that makes sense. can't see how it wouldn't.
T + 2:15 - fully tripping, definitely! super similar to lsd - not that i've tried a huge selection of psychedelics for the sake of comparison / contrast.
T + 2:50 - wow... i feel the need to record what i'm experiencing right now. but that's the question. what AM i experiencing right now?! god damnit, i'm just experiencing, and that's that! i am alive and conscious, of course. how silly. i bother to type something out, and end it with an "of course". why should i waste anyone's time with things they already know?
T + 2:55 - alright, i'm back to semi knowing what the fuck is going on. yes... i'm. WOW. yeah, nevermind the previous sentence, he's done. didn't get very far, but he was interrupted by a magnificent revelation... the revelation that... the revelation that fucking what?! omg. this is just beautiful.
T + 3:03 - GORGEOUS. just having a train of thought is ORGASMIC. FUCK yeah, man, thinking! is this really anything more than just visuals, aural hallucinations, and pure euphoria? yes, but what is the difference? when you take away all of that good stuff, what's left?! what is the ESSENCE of tripping?! ahh, it's so beautiful, and so simple, it's right there - but one cannot put it in words! i think so logically, and clearly, and i have such a clear recollection of what my train of thought has been for a long period of time.
T + flaws in the meat machine! begone! let me elaborate. hahaha. looks like i forgot to add a timestamp there. well, now we're at ->
T + 3:23 - WOW. time dilation, srsly! the energy of this experience can definitely be described as "sexual". psychedelic orgasms...
T + 3:56 - ^^ i just had one for realz! :O holy moly. alright. the aural hallucinations are just fucking amazing.
T + 4:45 - alright. you're probably thinking it's about time for me to elaborate on the meat machine. "meat machine" - a brilliant little term that was coined by nikola tesla, describes the human being perfectly. we are machines, and like all other machines, we have a purpose. the purpose of the meat machine is pleasure. the machine has the capability of generating this "pleasure" immediately... however at the expense of immediate pleasure the machine can alter its environment favorably to even GREATER pleasure in the future. so the machine has to maintain a delicate balance between constantly working for a better future, and thereby never actually experiencing any of the pleasure it's worked for; and idly generating low-level pleasure which is LESS than what it has the capability of. oh, and don't forget that there are another 6 billion meat machines that need to be taken into consideration.
you might think - "why would any one meat machine devote its energy toward another meat machine, when it could more easily be working for itself?" well, the machines are not all in identical environments, and because of the varying environments of the machines, one machine may be better suited to deal with a problem afar, than the local machines are.
even such a gross over-simplification of humanity is beginning to suggest to the reader that there is a high probability of errors occurring. yes, unfortunately, the networked system of meat machines known as "humanity" does not work perfectly.
flaws in the meat machine. and these are the kinks that are worked out by feeding the meat machines tasty little morsels, serotonergic psychedelics! not to suggest that the machine now works perfectly, because of course, psychedelics HAVE been ingested, and therefore -> problems solved, right? psychedelics do not work out all kinks and eradicate all flaws - they barely scratch the surface...
aaaaand, although i could go on, i'm about done with my little essay on humanity. (which for the record, was completed at T + ~5:30, and written while drifting in and out of, uhh... perceptual mind-torrents... created by the 2C-E :D)
-----------------------------------
Sober conclusion:
Wow... what a wonderful psychedelic experience that was. :D
For lack of a better way to describe it, my flawed perspective of reality was shattered and reconstructed. I was reminded of how I should really be living my life - and the course of action I've taken today so far has been altered to a degree by some of the revelations I had last night. A fellow bluelighter made a beautiful analogy with regard to the effect of psychedelic drugs, when he described the tripping mind as a snake shedding its skin.
The 2C-E also allowed me to problem-solve quite effectively, by allowing me to visualize the problem and the solution with ease. I spent a fair bit of time thinking about mathematics during the trip, and visualizing graphs of functions, for instance, seemed to come with relative ease.
So we've discussed the cognitive aspect of the trip - let's dive in to sensory perception. First of all, the visual hallucinations were really pretty nuts - wood grain and textured materials like fabrics were alive with pristine, detailed, fantastic, animated images of animals and letters and fractal-y patterns. My hardwood panel floor at one point was a river of flowing colors - deep violets and electric yellows. As I wrote my trip-log, the black-against-white letters on the computer screen took on various colors and began rearranging themselves into larger patterns or images.
Aural hallucinations consisted of very vivid, strange, avant-garde electronic music. What would happen, actually, is that I'd be listening to some electronic music during the trip (which was beyond great by the way), and then I'd stop playing the music, and I'd get the song that I'd been listening to stuck in my head - unlike sober earworms however, these guys would morph beyond recognition after awhile.
Also, I think sex on this compound would be divine - orgasming on the stuff was really something else.
There were a few negatives, though. Heart rate was high, blood pressure was low, which resulted in dizziness when standing up from sitting. Also, at times bodyload would result in a sort of caffeine-overdose-ish mood, if I focused on it; but I could usually collect myself.
Peace & love...
