Nice, isn't it? It's definitely weird but it's really chill.
Once I felt first signs of trip after 5 mins and was fully tripping in 20 mins (this sounds weird for me too). Other day I had first signs only after 1 hour and peaked at 2 hours. That was the same batch and the same dosage (~ 20 mg). Just setting was different - I had faster onset when I drunk a tea and took a small walk at morning before trip, and I had slower onset at the very end of the day after work (on empty stomach).
Wow... that's after taking it orally???
One of my friends had a
really weird reaction to it the other night. He told me he felt nothing 4 hours after taking it, so he went to sleep. He got up 7 hours later to go to work and started tripping hard while eating breakfast. He tripped all morning at work until shortly before his lunch break.
The strangest thing is that this dude has had it once before and it affected him just as you would expect it to. This time it took 11 FUCKING HOURS to hit him. Why did it affect him in this manner?
I love the body high sometimes, and other times it's very alien-feeling and uncomfortable.
Have I told you about my (non psychoactive) pre-trip cocktail?
Take 200mg magnesium, 4mg ondansetron, 50mg cyclizine and 2mg loperamide at the same time as the 2C-E.
Magnesium relaxes your muscles; ondansetron + cyclizine tackles nausea/body load on two fronts (serotonergic and histaminergic) and loperamide takes care of diarrhoea.
I've also had a total ego death once on it, from only 18mg, it was the most overwhelmingly intense and discombobulating experience of my life minus ibogaine, but unlike ibogaine a lot of fear was involved. Also a whole lot of incredible beauty and psychedelia. Other times I've taken 18-20mg and just had an intense experience without any trace of ego death. Unpredictable indeed. I haven't taken it in a long time because I'm not sure I want to ever experience 2C-E ego death again, I'm glad I did but once was enough. I'd love to experience 2C-E more times but I am very cautious with it.
I got ego death that time I took 50mg+ 2C-E. I was totally fried. All my thoughts and memories were merging together and racing around my head in a really random and chaotic way. It was pretty psychotic really. The visuals were ridiculous... at the peak I couldn't even tell if my eyes were open or closed.
Still, I had a great time and felt awesome. It wasn't the most euphoric psychedelic trip I've ever had but it was definitely the craziest and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
