This is my first post here. I love this forum and cruise it at least, once a day. I'm from the northeast US, and a male in my twenty's and as much as I hate to admit it I live with my parents:o. My experience with psychedelics started over 10 years ago. I've done lsd 100+ times, shrooms at least 50, I have never once had a negative experience. I've tried salvia extract a few times, but I hate how hot and itchy it makes me feel. I was also addicted to opiates for a few years, but I have overcome that with the help of meditation, I wish I could say the same for some of my friends. Anyway, enough about me.

On a monday night a few weeks ago, all my friends and everyone around came down with the flu, lucky me I got it the next week. I decided to take a dose of 2c-i. I had tripped on 2c-i a handful of times, and always found it enjoyable. The stimulation people talk about, seems to not effect me as bad. During a 20mg trip, I took my pulse at the onset, during the peak, and during the comedown, and all were about the same, in the 90's. I do get minor muscle tension, but thats it. So anyway, I had made a 25mg capsule and put it aside a little while back. I decided, since I had nothing to do and nowhere to go, to add another 20mg cap. I didn't take notes, so i am writing this from memory. Also up until this point, I had only taken 2c-i/2c-e dissolved in water.

Three hours after a light meal I swallowed the two capsules, and washed it down with a cup of tea. It was about 7:15pm. At 8 I turned on house and started watching. In no time, it was coming on strong, and so was the nausea. About 8:15 I was really starting to feel it, I put on some music and kind of ignored the tv. I laid in my bed, listening to some of my favorite classic rock songs, and after what seemed like 45mins to an hour the nausea was gone. I was a little puzzled when I looked at the tv and house was still on. When I checked the time, it was barley 8:30. I managed to finish watching the episode.

I turned the music back on and put on a blindfold. The cev's were incredible. For the next 2 or so hours, I watched what I would call, a dancing triangle, each point of the triangle looked like it was fuming rainbows of color as it spun and danced to the music, and as these color got further from the triangle the colors became very fractal. I was in awe of the beauty.

Sometime after 11, I removed the blindfold, and everything I saw was fractal. Everything I looked at, was made of tiny little beads of beautiful shiny colors. It gave everything incredible depth. The trails were thick and prominent. My body pulsed with and incredible warm feeling, that would shoot from my head to my toes, better in my opinion than iv-ing heroin. Even though I say "warm" it gave me goose bumps. When I got my bearings, and pried myself from the awesome view i was watching, I went to the bathroom to pee. This was the first time I was in bright like since before the trip started. The floral wallpaper was alive, it grew ever close in my peripheral vision, and if I looked directly at it, it would retreat. When I moved my eyes themselves, not my head, a rainbow of colors would wash over my vision, very beautiful. Every step I took, on the way back to my bedrooms jarred my vision. Similar to when the t-rex is walking near in Jurassic park. I was peaking for sure. From here on out I lost track of time.

Back in my room, I pulled out this big book of optical illusion I have. This is one of my favorite thing to look at when i'm tripping. Some illusions are ineffective while tripping very hard, this really interests me. After looking through probably every page of that book I put it down. I picked up my guitar and started playing, every note seemed like a different emotion. After I realized it was the middle of the night, and everyone in the house was sleeping, I put the guitar down. I had bought this kaleidoscope green laser pointer thing, just to play with while tripping. It looks unreal to me at this point. My favorite tip to it, goes from about 50 dots, to hundreds as you spin it. Every dot, looks like its not on the wall, but somewhere in between me and the wall. I play with this thing forever and find it hard to put it away. Best 12 bucks I ever spent.

I am a snake keeper, and I love handling my snakes. I took out my big boa, and let her do her own thing. To feel the power these serpents have is incredible to me when I'm not tripping, and just blows me away. As she lays on my bed in a coil, she looks like a flower. She lays her head in the palm of my hand on her own, and I feel very blessed to have her. I become emotional, thinking about how she will be a mother for the first time this year. Boa's give live birth, just like us. When her scales catch light, they shine a beautiful iridescent rainbow of colors, a very impressive site indeed.

By now it is very late, and time for me to settle down. I notice half baked is on tv, and i'm blown away by how visual of a movie it is, I never watched it tripping. The colors leaped off the screen on to the walls. I watched that and then friday was on, laughed my ass off through that. When that was over, I noticed the sun shining in the window, I took a quick peek out the window before going to bed. The frost made everything look like a winter wasteland. I went to bed and slept ok. I saw light trails for 3 days afterwords, not a big deal to me.

All in all, I really like 2c-i. 45mg's was fine to me, not to much stimulation, just a little muscle tension. The other day I took 18mg's and had a blast. I find this compound to be very visual, despite some posts I've read on it. This is my first trip report, so any questions, feel free to ask.
 
It was really nice to read, easy to get a feel for what you were seeing.

My only questions come from places of fear, that I just cant seem to imagine myself being 'ready' to take 45mgs, and yet for you it seems so simple and light hearted. So the question comes up, did you ever think during your trip about topics like 'where im going in life' 'relationship with parents' 'relationship with certain person'? How do you traverse that area if you end up in it?

It seems like its almost key to put these things to peace/rest before delving too deep in psychedelic space. Its terrible to get chased around by thoughts that stem from inadequate relationships during a trip.

Do you get prominent visuals on an 18mg dose? I've taken 2C-I several times at ~20mg and only gotten relatively light visuals. I actually kinda like the stimulation felt on 2C-I, but I enjoy stimulants in general. The only downside for me is nausea on the come up, but that passes by the time the trip begins.

While I agree it's best to settle such issues before tripping so as to avoid unpleasant mental states, for me 2C-I lives up to it's reputation as being relatively light and clear headed compared to some other psychedelics. One of the reasons I like 2C-I so much is I actually feel comfortable in social situations on it, I feel my ability to interact remains in tact. On psychedelics such as LSD, or especially mushrooms, confusion, inability to focus and garbled speech make interacting with non trippers an anxiety inducing prospect.

That being said, sometimes the most useful trips are the unpleasant ones where you are forced to face such thoughts. It's can help you see the path to address and come to terms with them. These trips feel very difficult while they are happening, but they can have the greatest reward for your trouble (as opposed to purely recreational trips where you just see pretty colors and have goofy thoughts)

First off, your idea of a bad trip, or an unpleasant can be completely different from mine, or anybody else. I have definitely have had thoughts such as, I realized how harsh I was, during an argument with my girlfriend, and that type of thing, some more personal and introspective than others. I see it as a good thing, while it might make others emotionally uncomfortable. To me, I am seeing myself through somebody else's eyes, and to me, its a wonderful learning experience. Now if you take that as a lesson, and apply that to your life, you truly gained something from your trip. Some people never get the big picture.

I have taken 20mg's during the day, and it wasn't all that visually impressive. On Tuesday, when I took the 18mg dose, it was at night and I thought it was great visually. I did do some things different. Usually, I will take it 2 hours after a light meal, and in an hour I'm definitely feeling it. Tuesday, I ate a heavy lunch from BK. I planned to wait until 6:30 to dose. I was at a friends house, and at 6:15, my friend bought me a 6inch sub from subway. Not to be rude I ate it, and planned to wait another 2 hours. At 8:45, I swallowed the capsule. At 11:45, I still wasn't feeling anything, I had my friend give me a ride home. After midnight it hit me hard. Absolutely no nausea, came on like strong clean acid. I watched the movie the mask, which was ridiculous while tripping. I watched, as faces morphed into circular shapes that were very fractal. It was the most visual 2c-i trip I had, at a doses between 15-25mg's.
 
Yeah, I suppose I have no problem with seeing that sort of thing, I look for it.
I guess sometimes I just can get caught up feeling like i 'need to do something' to 'fix' something, and that loop is just unpleasant because its pointless. I dont mind seeing things that are harsh, or sad, or scary. Its just pointless looping and trying to find a 'fix' for things that I want to grow out of.

Anyways , didn't meant to clutter up your thread. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
