2C-I first time, about 20mg

Tried 2c-i for the first time a few weeks back.

my friend was kind of drunk when he measured it, but he said it was a little under 20mg. With no basis for comparison, realistically i have no idea what the dosage was.

ate the powder (not surprisingly, really bitter) and drank a beer.

The first noticeable effect was that I felt much more drunk than I should have for only having one beer. I had pulled an all nighter with some adderall the night before, but i slept earlier that day and was feeling pretty good, if a little tired.

btw, does anybody else have any experiences with using alcohol as a pretreatment for the 2cs? my friend swears thats its the only way to go; i was kind of ambivalent, but the effect was interesting. maybe they're both metabolized by the same enzymes?

anyways, I was feeling pretty drunk for about an hour, then the drunkenness faded and the psychedelic effects started to come on.

at first i got sort of a generic restlessness and need to stretch; kinda similar to the tryptamine body load. There was a little nausea, but it mostly resolved itself and i never felt a need to throw up.

along with the body load visuals developed in that waves had a way of going through any texture I was looking at. I thought that was interesting, because it seemed much more regular than any tryptamine visual effects; it'd be interesting to measure the wave and see if there's any consistency.

besides the wave and carpet/floor patterns shifting around, that was about it for visuals. colors maybe seemed more vivid, but it was hard to tell if that was the case or not.

psysically, after the initial body load i was filled with energy, but it was definately a drug "push" and not "real" energy. my behavior wasn't outlanding but was definately more exuberant and active, almost violent in its ideosyncracy. For example, i was walking down the hall and saw a broken telephone and kicked it down the hall, when sober i would have ignored it. It kind of disturbed me at first, but i decided it was probably me releasing pent up tension from the school year I wouldn't have otherwise, and i wasn't feeling violent towards people, so i accepted it, and continued to kick around various other trashed items people left when they moved out.

i was probably at about the same level for 4 or 5, maybe 6 hours, but after that i started to get tired and lose my energy, although the waves were still there. had some trouble going to sleep, i wasnt sure if the waves were still present when i fell asleep, but i think they were. by morning all effects were definately negligible.

all in all an interesting compound i felt, interesting as a psychedelic, with the advantage that i was still able to interact normally with sober people. definately would like to try it again at a higher dosage, as well as the other 2cs.
 
Welcome to Bluelight!
Thanks for posting your 2C-i report, brang back some memories of last year :)

I find that drinking on the comedown or peak even of most psychedelics, especially the phenethylamines/amphetamines, does increase the effect sopmewhat. Not like pot would, but add's a bit of a euphoric but relaxed happy drunk edge to the trip.

I don't know about drinking on the come-up.. I did it with 2C-E when I didn't have weed (because the come up is anxious), but it usually made me throw up when I started peaking.
 
That sounds very much like my 2C-I experiences. Although at 20+mg 2C-I gave me a visual experience like no other psychedelic drug I've tried. Glowing mandelas in the air, three dimensional cities in the carpet, neon naked lady CEVs... but I agree the "energy" does feel very chemical and IMO it's the worst aspect of 2C-I and some other phenethylamines.
