Ive been titrating 2c-e up a few mg at a time so far, 10mg then 15mg, then 18mg. All of the lower doses took 3 hours to manifest the true effects, maybe a ++ at the 1.5 hour point but not +++ until 3 hours. However the 18mg dose showed itself far sooner, being a ++ in about 1 hour and +++ at 2 hours and still rising, its as if the whole startup events were shifted sooner than normal.
10mg was pleasant, quite powerfull in fact, its one of the most powerfull psychedelics ive ever had, to me its not something that could approach the reality replacement of salvia or ketamine but then again its not the same type of experience in the first place.
15mg was for me, the beginning of the more powerfull visual effects, 10mg had caused some color shifting but 15mg started in with the side to side movement of things, letters compressing in onto each other, outlines shifting from solid to random colors and back, spatial distortion. I think if i waited a month or more between trips, 15mg would have been FAR more visual than it was. I got slight stomache discomfort with 15mg but i get it all the time so it means nothing coming from me
18mg was i think the limit of the 'easy-to-maintain' dose range, in that any more i probably would have been far to stimulated in the first few hours. Theres an overall feeling of growing intensity that never goes anywhere, and it actually dropped off rapidly at the 2.5 hour point while the trip itself got stronger as did the visuals and all other positive effects. At one point i was worried about being alone as i had some concern that i would end up in state of confusion, thinking too fast etc, possibly leading to negative thoughts, if i didnt keep talking to someone. I think 18mg was the best of the 3 uses so far, if i had done 18 the first time i bet the effects would have been incredibly intense, probably far more visual.
I think i see a slight bit of tollerance though i cant be sure, i thought raising the dose each time would have raised the effect exponentially whereas it was more linear than i expected, i think because of tollerance.
I have around 22mg left so i am considering a 22mg dose but i may fall back down to 18 this time as it has been a long enough period that i should be able to tell if there is any tollerance now.
