2-CI First Experience An Interesting Evening at Home
Substance: 2-CI
Dosage: 9 milligram oral, 2 milligram sublingual
Set: Great mood, just got off work, having worked with 2 good friends. A little sleepy. Had fasted for ~8 hours prior to ingestion, however I tend to have quite an iron stomach when it comes to chemicals. Had been depressed for about 3 weeks, but it lifted greatly around my birthday.
Setting: My house, cool misty evening.
Experience: It’s easier to ask what I haven’t done than what I have. LSD, MDxx, G, 1,4BD, Meth, Coke, Heroin, DMT (oral and smoked), DXM, Foxy, 2-CB, 2-Ct-7, Scopolamine, most of the benzo and amphetamine family…etc…
I was intrigued about trying this new substance. I’ve been on a long hiatus from drugs (as some of you know), however I was interested in this substance as I’ve had quite nice experiences with both 2-CB and 2-Ct7. The sample was procured from a trusted source, and was of known purity.
I must admit feeling some trepidation at the fact that I was tripping again after such a long break, but was still excited by the idea.
5:35-Ingested 9 mg 2-CI in aqueous solution with a small amount of grape juice. There was no discernable chemical taste. 2 mg were next measured and taken sublingually, slight chemical tang is noted, nothing too unpleasant. I call my best friend (Treesloth) in Seattle and chat with her.
5:55-First alerts were felt. I must admit I was a bit surprised as most reports site approximately one hour for first alerts. Stimulation is felt, much like with acid. Tingles run up and down my spine.
6:15-Stimualtion has been progressively growing stronger. Although it is misting rain, and a bit cold, I decide a walk would be nice. Choosing a jacket takes a bit of work as my thought processes are a bit scattered at this point. I noticed a distinctly tactile element to this chemical. My leather duster feels much heavier and smoother than normal. I find my fuzzy gloves and spend a little time enjoying the feel. After trying three jackets I settled on the first one (a light hoody) and proceed outside. The energy from the compound has me walking quickly.
6:25-I get off the phone with Treesloth and walk around campus. I put Chemical Brothers (Surrender) into my walkman and start to listen. Music is wonderful, especially when they use the ‘magic speaker’ effect (where the music moves between the two headphones.) I realize I forgot my cigs and I decide to go on home. I begin to notice fleeting movements out of the corners of my vision, I turn and notice that my shadow is waving back and forth. I’m surprised as I thought the dose I took would have fewer visuals and would take longer to come on. I worried a bit at how intense this trip could get.
6:35-Walking home through a dark alley I notice some people ahead of me. They seem larger than they should. As I get closer they still seem to be somewhat stretched. The body energy is still building. I realize I could not interact normally with people at this point and hurry my way home.
6:45-I make it home, and sit outside having a cigarette. My front door waved back and forth, alternately moving towards and away from me. The reflections in the glass seemed to swirl when I looked at them through the corner of my eyes. The visuals continue to grow more intense as the minutes fly by. Time dilation is definitely present as it seems to contract, making each minute seem like five.
7:00-I went to my room and closed the door. I plugged in the multi-colored Christmas lights that adorn the ceiling of my room. Tiny rainbows, predominately of the colors in the individual lights seemed to drip from each individual light. Again the though ‘My, this is intense’ floated through my head, yet my mind was remarkably free from the confusion that I often got from high dose acid, and therefore I was able to calm myself by going through some deep breathing exercises.
7:20-Feeling much calmer I laid back on my bed and put AK1200 (Fully Automatic) into my walkman. The tactile aspect of the trip (vaguely reminiscent of X) had also increased in intensity and while the music flowed through the headphones and into my brain I writhed on my bright red fleece blanket. The walls began to wave and move back and forth. I closed my eyes and let the music flow though me. Behind my closed eyelids colors cycled with the music, much like a MilkDrop visualization. Any mental confusion has been resolved at this point and has changed to a somewhat distant euphoria.
8:00-I had been listening to c.d.’s and laying with my eyes closed for long enough, I was beginning to get bored. I got out some old old rave flyers and looked at all the different pictures. All the colors seemed much brighter, and it was difficult to read the words as the letters kept flowing down the paper. By this point I had lost any trepidation and was flowing where the substance willed me.
8:20-A feather boa that adorned the monitor of my computer blows as though a wind is flowing through the room, even though the air is completely still, I marvel at the intensity of the visuals.
8:30-I played with some of my fun little trip toys, including a sparkler that was just wonderful. Tracers were as vivid as some of my 6+ dose acid trips, and I would say I was definitely at a ++1/2, possibly +++. Intensity is still growing, but at a slower pace than previously. I wonder if I should smoke a bit of green, and pack the bowl. The herb is shifting as I break it apart and put it in the bowl. It’s as though there are bugs in it or something (but not in a bad way.) I take a single hit, but decide I’m good for right now, I put the bowl to the side.
8:45-I go outside for a ciggy, it seems quite bright out, and the sky holds a pink tint. The sky seems to run like a river. The mist made everything seem wet, yet my brain interprets it as frost. The entire world seemed rimed with white. I noticed some intense pixilation of shadows, i.e. all the shadows seemed to be composed of different shades of gray and black boxes. By moving my head I was able to adjust where the pixels were and how intense the shadows were. I play with this effect for a bit before heading back inside. I barely noticed the cold at all, but when I entered the house it felt as though I was cradled in a huge warm blanket.
9:00-I check in with myself at this point. No headache (for the first time in several days,) no stomach upset, the stimulation earlier present has faded into a nice body buzz. I note that this body component was not present with either 2-Ct-7 (which I have a very good deal of experience with) or 2-CB (at least to such an extent.) I like this feeling. I curl up in my fuzzy fleece blanket and put on my fuzzy gloves. I marvel at the warmth, and enjoy the gentle waving of the blanket as I stare down it. Where it hits the floor the red seems to bleed into the green of the carpeting.
9:10-My brain says I’ve crested the peak of this experience. I’m a bit relieved as I was not prepared for much more than had already happened.
9:15-Realize I’ve needed to pee for about half an hour. I venture out of my room, and thankfully the roomies are nowhere to be found. I’m gladdened by this, as I still do not feel social or even capable of carrying on a conversation with someone not tripping. I began to wonder how I’d spent so many years partying on acid and other assorted psychedelics. I returned to my room after relieving myself. When in the bathroom I looked in the mirror and saw I was a bit flushed, and my pupils were dilated, but not to the extent seen with acid or MDxx. On the way back to my room I grab several packages of Sweetarts.
9:50-I’ve been playing with these Sweetarts for the past 35 minutes. I poured them all out and arranged them into interesting patterns on my desk. The wood grain flowed like water under the candies and they seemed to project up off the surface. Occasionally I would pop a candy in my mouth, the taste was incredible it felt as though my taste buds were becoming unfurled and I savored every sweet tangy one. Again I would liken these sensations to an MDxx substance. Time had no meaning whatsoever during this time, it felt like 5 minutes had past.
10:00-Definetly coming down at this point. Visuals are subsiding, and my body is left with a bit of stimulation. Now (T+4:30 hours) I feel quite social and wished my friends were around. I attempt to get on IRC to chat with BL’ers but my roomie is on the internet. I watch a bit of telly and eat more Sweetarts. The color dripping from the Christmas lights has stopped, but the room still had an interesting hazy glow, like a colored fog, which corresponded with the colors of the lights near them.
10:45-I’m down enough that I could easily carry on a conversation, although I would not want to have one with any type of authority figure. I call Treesloth and we talk about my experience. I decide to finish the bowl I was unable to finish earlier, and this intensifies the colors from the Christmas lights and lengthens the tracers produced by my ciggy.
11:30-I get off the phone with Treesloth and go and watch a bit of ‘Monster House’ on Discovery channel. My depth perception is still off. Colors are still brighter and dimensions are still out of sync, the characters on the television screen seem smaller than they should be.
012:00-Roomies finally emerge from their abodes and we put on a funny movie, ‘The Big Hit.’ We chat and giggle, and I have a rum and coke. Still no headache or any feelings of toxicity from the chemical. Although I’ve had to pee a bit more than normal.
2:00-The movie ends and we watch some random crap. I have another rum and coke, and start feeling sleepy. I go to bed and am asleep by about 3:00 (T+10:30 hours.)
Conclusion: I woke up the next day with no discernable hangover. A bit of a headache developed later during the day, but I often have headaches, especially since I didn’t get all that much sleep and had to work. After work I was tired and relaxed the rest of the evening. The next day (two days after ingestion) there were no negative effects.
I will definitely be experimenting with this compound again. Both the tactile enhancement, the energy, and the visuals were quite pleasant. I was quite surprised by the intensity, and quick ramp up of the drug, however the comedown was pleasant and not jarring at all. My next experiment will likely be at somewhere around 9 mg, possibly 8. I am also interested in insuffalation as a method of admin for this drug (I know the general consensus on snorting RC’s, but I’d like to try it once as this was my preferred method of using 2-Ct-7) however it would be at a much lower dosage, possibly ~3-4 mg. I was quite surprised by how orally active this compound is, as I found I needed heroic doses of 2-Ct-7 orally to feel much effect orally, as opposed to this compound which was wonderfully active in this manner.
If I had to compare it to other substances I would say it has the visual ‘flavor’ of both a moderately high dose LSD trip, combined with the mental clarity of a 2-Ct-7 trip, with an interesting addition of a MDxx reminiscent tactile component. The ramp up was much like MDMA, in that it was rapid, and built quite exponentially, also there were traces of the musical enhancement quite common with MDMA. I would be interested in dancing on this compound, but will wait on that until I have and evening at home by myself, or with friends of like mind (i.e. not my roomates.)
In terms of dose response curves this has a much steeper one than either 2-Ct-7 or 2-CB and is obviously more active at lower dosages. An accurate method of measuring must be used with this compound.
All in all quite a lovely experience.
