2C-I is a very interesting chemical. It intrigued me particularly since I had tried 2C-B on several occasions prior and wanted to compare the two extensively.

I took about 30 mg in total over the course of about 9 hours, with some friends, each dose being around 10 mg and topping up when needed. This led to a smooth trip the whole time.

First this drug gave me more of an amphetamine feeling than when compared to 2C-B. I felt more restlessness. It was difficult to reach a comfortable position.

It is a euphoric drug by definition, but doesn't quite reach the euphoric feeling of 2C-B. 2C-B is also more interesting in the self-searching sense.

With 2C-I, the key feeling was joy accompanied by laughter, as opposed to a 'zen', purely euphoric feeling with 2C-B. We (my friends and I taking this drug) laughed so much! We had fits of laughter constantly.

Despite it being only three of us, over the course of 9 hours, we kept a chat constantly going, and enjoyed every minute of it.

One thing that is exactly common with 2C-B are the visuals. They are so similar. The slight shifting in things you look at closely, the morphing of objects or whatever you concentrate on. Perhaps the only thing you do not get on 2C-B that happens on 2C-I are trails of moving things, exactly like those you get on acid. They were wonderful.

In conclusion, while this drug has probably less potential for self-searching in my opinion than 2C-B, it gains on other fronts such as the pure fits of laughter it induces or the wonderful trails of moving ojects.

It remains a highly interesting chemical and one of the few psychedelics I would expect is highly unlikely to trigger negative experiences (particularly in low doses).

NOTE: We insufflated the doses. While I am not sure if it is more efficient than swallowing it, I would seriously consider doing the latter as insufflating it causes extreme amounts of pain. This cannot be understated.

At the beginning of my 2c-i trip i had the same exact euphoria and MDMA/amphetamine speedy feeling, unlike anything i'm used to (I'm into downers). I chewed gum a million miles a second and actually went walking for probably 45 minutes, not sure, perception of time was absent.

I'm surprised you didn't see the intense visuals and the connotion the emotions had with each of the visuals. I noticed the lack of tracers but the incredible blurring that happened from any moving object.

Did you happen to see anything tribal or walls melting and letters forming into grass/trees?
After the trip was over didn't it seem like something was missing? Like a piece of the puzzle is missing or something?

i never got strong visuals from 2C-I like i get on acid or shrooms, but i still liked the subtle visual effects it did produce. there was only little movement of stationary objects, but it made surfaces appear to sparkle and shimmer and it caused awesome color enhancement. i feel it made me see colors the way they were meant to be seen truly

mentally, i found it pretty comfortable and social compared to other psyches, very clear headed. i also agree that 2C-I is pretty stimulating, but i don't really mind as i kinda like speedy things. the biggest negatives are nausea on the come up, and maybe a little over stimulation at points. i think 2C-I would be the perfect drug to take before going to a museum. i would really love to give 2C-B a try sometime to see how it compares. ;)
 
I'm glad to see it was so pleasant for you. I think because it was my first psychedelic it had to clear out some (evil) cobwebs in my mind, i felt completely insane. And you took a fairly large dose as well, not as large as mine, it's really odd how it was so subtle for you yet so strong for me...

Yeah i'm with you on trying 2c-b, that was my first choice but my guy was all out but had 2c-i. Give me a PM if you try 2c-b and write a report on it.

I've already written a report on my first trip of 2C-B, which you can find if you search my posts (it's fairly recent.)

While 2C-I was a pleasant trip, I prefer 2C-B.

With respect to the visuals, they were wonderful - probably, along with the fits of laughter at anything remotely funny, the best part of the trip.

I found I could direct the visuals if I concentrated at them, which was wonderfully interesting. For example, at a certain time I was watching two bottle of juice, both with pictures of apples on them. On one of the bottles, the apples seem to gain life and move.

I started wondering if it was possible to make the apple-creature try to 'eat' the bottle next to it. As soon as I wondered, the apple-creatures looked as if they were trying to absorb the bottle next to it, trying to drain it somehow of its energy. This went on for awhile - I was even reluctant to get close to it, as the hallucination genuinely felt real - but at no time was I scared during the trip. My friend, strangely, was also seeing the exact same thing as me.

I think that is the beauty of these 2C's. They remain quite safe in normal/low doses. Trip-outs I think are unlikely (unless you've got a latent mental condition or something.)
