Bluelight Crew
Substance: 2C-I (2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Iodophenethylamine)
Dose: 16 Milligrams / Clear Capsule Ingested
Setting: House Party
Date: January 23, 2004, Night.
It had been a long time since I had an experience with a new drug. I had my sights set on 2C-I for months in advance though, and knew it was to be my next experiment. Finally receiving a milligram scale too, it was now possible to procure the perfect dose...
It just so happened that on the same weekend as I had planned to take 2C-I, a friend of my roommate's was having a smaller 'party', or rather, an "E-Party". It was the person's first time doing Ecstasy, and he wanted a good group of his friends to join him in rolling. I realized I had wanted to try 2C-I in both a party/rave environment, and in a natural outdoor environment. The first goal could be completed if all went well... I talked to the house owner, and he was very skeptical of a 'smaller group' of us taking 2C-I. After all, no one had heard of it except for me and a couple other friends. They wanted everyone to be on the same level and have no accidents occur. I would usually have agreed too, but reading about 2C-I for more than a year now, I knew that there would be no problems whatsoever with the interaction between the E-People and the I-People. So I finally convinced both of the people that lived there to accept us. After that, they were open minded.
10:00 PM.
T+0:00: After setting the house up with tons of lights (1 High-energy, flashing strobe light, intense room... 1 Black Light Room with chill music... and 1 Main big room where most people were going to be hanging out in, best sound system)... Myself and four others took our 16 mg caps of 2C-I. Now the anticipation kicked in, as always. It had been a long time since I had felt unknown and new effects from a drug. We were all optimistic.
T+1:00: The music and lights were all going full bore and the party mood was set in. We locked the door and pretty much shut ourselves off from outsiders. The people who were taking E that night took their pills at this time. We were hoping that everyone had a synergistic unified come-up, no matter what substance used. I felt slight tingling in the body at this time, but nothing else to speak of.
T+2:00: My body and mind know there is something attempting to be altered, but I can't quite figure out what it is. Moving around feels slightly lighter than normal and I'm having a fun time in the intense/flashing room in the back, playing fast-paced electronic music (hardcore). One of the girls who had taken 2C-I is definitely feeling something stronger than the rest of us already, and notes that her vision seems slightly wider and more receptive to movement than normal.
T+2:30: I now feel the same sensation in my vision as the girl had a while before. I could see objects in my peripheral vision moving very well, and I kept glancing at very minor stuff that seemed to move. My mind state was also changing just a bit. I would go through short periods of being active and messing with the lights/glowsticks, then I would sit there and think about things for a minute, and just observe. The drug seems to have a very, very gentle come-up and I felt at times I wished it would just kick in hard already!
T+3:00: The people who took E are peaking at this point and there is much activity going on in the house. A few of the first-timers are gasping at the power of lights while rolling. There is a trance/psytrance mix going on, and it seems like everyone is into it - even those who don't especially like electronic music while sober. Also around this time is when I consider myself to be in a state of 'tripping'. The motions and movements of everything in the house is so smooth and has so much meaning. I find myself analyzing each person's current mood and relating them to myself. A very short, but solid conversation with a 'friend' (more of an acquaintance) proved that I had was attempting to bring out deeper meanings in words, and I probably added a few extra details while I talked.
T+3:30: I think I'm peaking, but I'm not sure! Myself and the others on 2C-I walk outside into the front yard area to see how the world is doing. I am pretty impressed with the visuals out there. Everything is very smooth and the trees are soft and wavy. When looking straight forward, it seems as though I can see every single thing in my Field of Vision at once! I feel a life energy glowing all around me, the same energy that I feel while outside on Mushrooms. It's the feeling that when even though there is absolutely nothing alive around you [in certain places], it still seems like there is a lot of 'activity' going on - almost too much. It feels like the Earth and the Universe are watching you and accompanying you in space. I look up at the stars and they are very numerous, slight patterns (Built on Lines) are emerging from parts in the sky. Maybe good for viewing and even creating Constellations? Anyway, I was content with my trip outdoors, and re-entered the house.
T+4:00: This is around the peak of the drug in my system I believe (And it is a LONG peak - the whole first 4 hours were slowly building up to this). I think the others had already hit this point, but I wasn't sure. I expected 2-3 hours to be the strongest points, not the fourth. But anyway - Most people took another pill or half-pill of E (including one of those on 2C-I), and the party kept on rocking...
T+4:30: It had been about half an hour since I came into the intense room (now playing Prodigy) and I needed a change. I had been analyzing my hands movements and everyone else that was moving around under the strobe light. The light really flashed everything in and out of existence - it was a positive flashing though, it filled me with more energy. I now fully felt the energetic side of 2C-I, which was partially similar to the feeling on E, just slightly less commanding/intense. Around this time, two of the others agreed that the feeling really is somewhat like a half-shroom/half-E type of trip, but with its own flavor added in as well. I sort of agree with this even now.
T+5:00: Still up there. My most psychedelic event happens around this time. As I am moving from the back room towards the black-light room (through a long hallway), the hallway seems to be expanding itself and as I moved through it, I saw everything moving like liquid. I felt like liquid myself, as I moved so, so smoothly through the hallway. All within the timeframe of about 5-10 seconds, my entire consciousness shifted gears, as the strobes were flashing behind me and the smooth blue/black lights were streaming ahead of me. I opened my mouth in disbelief, the kind of mouth opening when a drug is hitting you hard and you are surprised at what's going on. Sort of like both peaking on the come-up of E, and having a spiritual vision on Shrooms. Just a "WHOA." I had to sit down and re-think about the drug, as it just showed me its true power. After this point, I did a lot of 'thinking' and 'analyzing' about 2C-I, and of what it was attempting to do to me.
T+6:00: Even though everyone is still rolling/tripping, the people on E wanted a booster. So a few of us went outside to smoke a few bowls, while the others waited inside - I had told them I had something they would like...
We finished smoking, which definitely brought me to a slightly 'higher' level, and I consider it to have added to the experience. Moving everyone into the strobe/intense room, I smiled and pulled out a box of ISI Whipped Cream canisters/Whippets, and quickly began to fill balloons. A couple of the people did not know what I was doing, but everyone was being open. It seemed only slightly harder to move fast and fill the balloons than normal - sometimes I had to think about what I was doing at the time, but no where near as much confusion as some other similar drugs. I finished filling 6 balloons, and each person who had one began to take them. We all finished at the same time and it was unbelievable. I had known how nitrous felt on E, and I was happy for them, but 2C-I + Nitrous was a much, much different level. It totally brought me and 2C-I face to face and I looked at it and understood the point of its whole experience. It is still too misunderstood to be put into words though, and truthfully I don't think words 'can' explain this drug in a decent manner. But one of the points I gained from the drug at this time was that it was meant to be 'an open-ended trip with feelings and emotions that were able to be controlled and molded to the individuals liking'. You could make it what you wanted it to be, in a way.
T+7:00: Not much more exciting happens. Everyone is sitting down and listening to the music, all introspective. It is nearly 5 in the morning and I am still being affected by the 2C-I in a pretty strong way. I can tell i'm slowly heading towards sobriety - but VERY slowly. I want to go home and sleep in my own bed and eat some food. So a couple of us leave for back home (only a few blocks away) and I retire to my room... Before going to bed I eat some Honey Bunches of Oats and holy shit, it’s just as good as ever
... I still feel a whole 'world' going on in my brain, and colors moving around in my closed eyesight. It took about 40 mins to go to sleep, which is slightly longer than usual for me, but nothing too bad at all.
Overall Feelings: I was so excited to finally try this drug. And truthfully, it came out to be everything I expected of it. And that expectation was to have an experience that is both social/energetic/happy, and to feel an expanded 'psychedelic' consciousness and connection with other people and objects. To my surprise, I had predicted very well what the drug was going to be like before I did it! Just from reading the various data and trip reports on 2C-I for multiple months of time, was I able to go into the drug very educated and confident in what the experience was going to be like.
The next day wasn't bad at all. Besides some slight feelings of tiredness (which I think was more result from moving/dancing around/staying up late), I felt pretty clear and positive. My mind was only cloudy in the sense that I had a lot going on in there. I was a little more thoughtful than usual.
I give 2C-I a big two thumbs up and there are no notable negatives to speak of. The chemical, while obviously not the perfect drug by a long shot, was in a way 'flawless' to me. I think my favorite part of the drug is the way it creates a whole world in your head. You can see this world when you close your eyes - activity and movement is everywhere. The conscious becomes fully 3D, and I believe the visuals of 2C-I are spawned from the fact that this world 'remains' when you open your eyes. The reality in the real world and the reality in your head collide and show you a sense of togetherness.
