I've been reading and lurking around here for a bit but this is my first post...
Anywho, I somehow managed to procure 100mg of 2C-I and having the next five days off because of the holiday, I was quite excited to try the stuff. However, because of my somewhat limited experience with psychedelics, that being two mushroom trips and a few Hawaiian Baby Woodrose experiences, I was also a little apprehensive. In the end, curiosity got the best of me and I decided to go through with it.
Not having access to a mg scale (yeah, yeah, I know), I decided that the only way to dose with any shred of accuracy was to dissolve the 2C-I in a 100mL of solvent for which I chose Everclear. Because this was my first time and because I couldn't be entirely sure if what I had was truly 100mg, I decided to err on the side of caution and dissolve the 100mg of 2C-I into 120mL of Everclear, assuming a 20% overage on the vendor's part. That way, if I had actually rec'd more than 100mg, I'd be safe and if I did have in my possession the claimed amount, then at least I'd be taking ~20% less than what I thought. The almost flour-like powder dissolved pretty quickly though it took a good amount of agitation to get all of it dissolved. I measured out 6mL of solution using a graduated medicine dropper, added it to some Mt. Dew, drank up, and waited....
The anticipation was killing me so to calm my nerves, I popped in Fear and Loathing.
T+0:30: I am definitely feeling something--my temples feel warm and there is a slight GI disturbance going on. I recognize myself coming up and though it wasn't exactly pleasant, it wasn't unpleasant either. The warmth continued to grow and at about T+1:00 I am definitely feeling a bit altered.
Just then my right eye started twitching the way random muscles in the body do when a person is tired. This was very uncomfortable and I wished for it to stop, but I recognized the correlation between the warmth in my temples/forehead and the twitching. Somehow I managed to massage the twitching away and finished the rest of Fear & Loathing (which does tend to get a bit long toward the end). Not much to report during the movie other than I saw tracers, brighter colors, and colors bleeding into the black "widescreen" bars at the top and bottom of the screen. At one point I remember getting up and feeling the "oh, shit I am definitely on a psychedelic" feeling which scared me a bit. That soon passed and then I actually felt I was at the threshold of something good.
Suddenly, about T+2:45ish, I felt an incredible warmth throughout my body and I felt totally comfortable. "If E feels anything like this, I most definitely have to try it," I thought to myself. I felt so comfortable it was almost normal, like I'd felt that way once before and it just seemed so incredibly natural to feel that way. Visuals weren't anything pronounced, just some tracers still. But I was full of energy and I wanted to dance, dammit, so I put on some Armin Van Buuren which sounded GREAT. I got up, turned out the lights, put on the stobe light, and danced for about six minutes with my roommate's girlfriend. At one point, I closed my eyes and looked at the strobe light and saw my first real "visuals"--I saw a ghost image of a person dancing in front of me. Cool! Eventually, though, the strobe light was hurting my eyes, so I turned it off and continued to dance a bit. That was definitely the height of the experience which makes sense considering it was about T+3:30ish and was probably peaking or had peaked already.
I sat down soon after that and the strange thing is I had a moment of almost sobriety, everything seemed normal. I'd gotten a little taste of the substance and deemed the dose I had manageable and safe, so I downed another 3mL. The next hour after that consisted of the same "coming up" feeling, some more GI disturbance, and slightly more visuals. Beyond that, there's not much to report other than I dosed a small amount a few hours after that with indifferent effects.
All in all, it was a good first experience, but I was left wanting more. I had a taste but just when it was getting good, it pretty much stopped. It was a bit introspective and fun at the same time. Also, the "sparkle" and feeling that was present at T+3:00 hours was gone after I redosed a few times and the rest of the evening I went in and out of "It's working" and "I feel almost nothing." GI disturbance was present, but mild and ignorable. I plan on giving it a few days then trying out a 11 or 12mL dose (which is probably ~9mg 2C-I). I figured I'd start small to both test the potency of the aqueous solution I made and to see what I was getting into. Now that I've had a taste, I want more!
