ive been researching 2ci for a long time now since i got on blue light, and ive been really interested in it, i love ecstacy, and i love mushrooms/visuals, so it sounded like the perect drug for me. I was waiting for the right time to do it, and when this weekend rolled around, i knew i had to try it. I bought a "22mg" capsule saturday night off a good friend, and it was his last one ! woooah lucky me :D I know 22mg is a large dose for my first time, but im a big guy and i really wanted to experience real visuals, what i didnt know is that i was unprepared for the night ahead of me.

I decided to try 2ci by myself in my basement, ive only ever done low doses of mushrooms by myself, so i really wanted to experience tripping alone, and from what i had heard, 2ci is a pretty mellow mindfuck if any, so it seemed like a great idea.


i injested the "22mg" capsule at 12:40am in my basement with a big sip of orangejuice, and went on bluelight to pass time... From what i had researched and read, 2ci takes a good hour-2hours before any affects are felt or noticed, so i thought i had a while before id be feeling anything.

At 1:00am is when i started to notice affects, i asked myself wtf ? its only been 20minutes, maybe its just my imagination ? i felt a slight uneasy feeling in my stomach, but it wasnt bad whatsoever, nothing like i expected. about 5minutes later, i noticed slight visuals. Floor, computer desk, and walls are all breathing ! ive never experienced this visual on mushrooms before, so it was new to me, i was used to the normal patters/colors.

I remember reading a Trainwreck report on erowid that alot of you have probably read, its where the guy pops 200mg's of what he thought was something, and when he started getting visuals 15minutes later, he realized he had dosed 2ci instead of his desired substance. I kinda panicked a little at this point because i thought it was way too early to be getting visuals, and i kinda started thinking... woah what if i dosed alot more than i thought i had ? since i didnt scale it out myself, but i made myself relax and went out for a cigarette.

After sitting outside, visuals REALLY started to kick in, grass started swaying back and forth, i was getting hand tracers, and this is only 30mins into the trip. I didnt notice anything altering my mind yet, which surprised me.

About 10minutes later, the tree's infront of my house started to glow green, then red, then back to green. The visuals were getting extremely intense already, NOTHING like i expected. I remember always seeing somebody sitting next to me out of the corner of my eye, but when id look nobody was there.

20minutes later, im seeing cars floating, houses tilting off axis, and "lightshows" Everywhere. It looked like there were 100 lightshows going on everywhere i looked, no matter what i looked at or where i went, i could not escape the visuals. I looked up at my tree branches, and i saw wat looked like a glow stick attached to EVery leaf, spinning around in circles so fast it looked like there were circles of green light, and the really weird part is, i could even hear the "swooosh" of the glowsticks spinning.

Looking at the sky, clouds would form shapes instantly, and then go flying out of my view at incredibly speeds, and the sky would be left with what looked like a Million red dots all moving at different speeds in different directions. It all started getting too fucking intense, so i went back inside.

When i got downstairs, all my wooden walls were melting with patterns, my ceiling was crawling with them, and they would flow into the walls, and all the way down to the floor. The floor was covered with more lazer lights giving me lightshows, and it all kept getting more and more intense, this is about an hour and a half into the trip. I went and tried laying down to watch some t.v, but as soon as i layed down, i couldnt makeout any picture on the screen. It looked like i was watching a "snow channel" Where u get no reception and its just a billion gray/white/black dots, but it was all different colored dots moving and swaying back and forth, then off the screen and up/down the walls/ceiling.

If i focused on 1 object for too long, everything in my view would turn into the color of the object, and id start seeing what looked like "molecules" in the air. I swear i could see molecules of geometic shapes, everywhere in the air, covered in even more colors. This is where i started noticing a slight mind fuck, but nothing compared to shrooms or mdma. I remember researching that 2ci gives some people an mdma buzz, but i felt NOTHING Like this whatsoever.

dont get me wrong, the visuals WERE very intense, but i wasnt scared at all, i actually enjoyed it alot. At this point, i went back outside for another cigarette b/c it was too intense inside and i couldnt handle it anymore. when i got back outside, i started to get scared because it was getting so crazy and i didnt know if it was normal or not. The house directly across from me would literally tilt sideways, then tilt right back up normal. the car in its driveway would also tilt off of its axis, and the tires were not touching the ground at ALL. When id look at lights, then look away, id see spots of lights everywhere.

CEV's were also Reallllly crazy, 1 i remember was 4 girls in 2 rows of 2, lined up perfectly, with green/red lipstick/nail polish, blowing cigarette smoke at me, but everything was PERFECTLY simetric(Spelling), the background was pitch black, but colors were flowing through them and towards my eyes. The only intense CEV's ive ever gotten were off 3.5 grams of mushrooms, and these blew them away, shrooms could not compare.

visuals kept increasing and getting more intense for the next hour or two, then my high kind of leveled out. I remember being outside asking myself how much longer of this do i have ? my whole view was covered in a feild of simetric geometric shapes spinning and moving so fastttt towards me and away from me. Then out of nowhere, my mindstate completely changed. "This is fuckin cool, and it doesnt bug me at all" i remember thinking, i went right back inside and made myself a peanut butter sandwich, grabbed myself an apple, and poured a glass of O.J, the visuals no longer bugged me at all. i went downstairs, ate it up and listend to some trance.

Then i layed down, this is at about 4am or so, and started watching a movie. Visuals were stil very intense but i didnt notice them at all, i think i began to come down, or my high at least leveled out a bit. for the next hour and a half, i watched the movie and watched my walls move with patterns, i began getting Very tired and started to doze off... i remember being half asleep/half awake and i could tell i was stil tripping really hard b/c i kept seeing myself in a game show of some sort, then snapping out of it and my teeth would b 'gittering'. I fell asleep around quarter to 6am, and wokeup the next day with a pretty bad headache.


From reading other peoples experience with 18-22 mg's of 2ci, i really beleive i took alot more than i think i did... no reports ive read explain any of the shit i was seeing that night, or even close to it.
2ci was a good experience, and i WILL use it again in the future.

thnx

22mg was my prefered dose for 2c-i.
The first few times i used it at that dose and later at higher doses i experienced visuals like you described but it would always hit me 1.5 hours later.
2c-i does give some awesome visuals though at higher doses.
glad you had a good time,
i enjopyed reading this report.

peace,

Great report.

I'd love to try 2ci but it's just not around here. Hopefully i run into some chemist out on the town at the weekend. :D
 
does anybody else with 2c-i experience agree that i may have dosed alot more than i think i did ? does anbody have any kind of idea maybe how much was in that capsule ?
 
Nah thats about a normal-high dose, most people like 16-18mg the best.

I recommend miprocin over ALL psychedelics (but I never tried DMT) it is GREAT.
 
Personally, I would never dose higher than 16mgs with 2C-I because of the stimulation. It became too much for me at 20mgs. However, you may or may not have had more than you originally thought. 2C-I can become quite visual. However, the visual effect becomes overwhelmed by the stimulation at doses of 20mgs and beyond.

The next Phenethylamine I tried was 2C-E. This was unspeakably more visual, yet more tolerable in its effects for me. The stimulation was mild, but the trip was insane. Out of all these RC's, I found 2C-E to be the best of the Phenethylamines and 4-HO-MiPT to be the best of the Tryptamines.
 
Wow. I'm still pondering 16mg, I actually feel as if I should halve that for my first go, since I'm fairly sensitive to psychedelics. Interesting though, would you consider nitrous oxide use with this?
 
One word WOW! that sounds awesome i think in the case of RC's i will most definitely weigh them up, think if i ever got the chance i would start at 20mg or something sounds like you had a fucking brilliant time, nitrous oxide would have been great here; however, the aftermath of that may make the visuals alot more intense but i dunno what do u reckon?

nice report, thoroughly enjoyed
 
honestly, a bulb at my peak probably would have made me pass out. the visuals were so intense i could not beleive it, ive never even dreamed of shit like that. it was literally like shrooms x 50000000, the patterns on the walls would morph right into the air like particles and i could touch/feel them, ill def do 2c-i again.. matta fact, i alrdy got a 28-30mg capsule capped ready to go :D
 
A lot of that sounds just like my trip. The visuals were so intense, but like you said it wasn't intimidating at all. Walking around in the dark was impossible though, because it looked like I was walking on rainbows.

i only got mild visuals from 2C-I (tried it 3 times). LSD or Mushrooms have much more intense effect IMO. but it should be noted i only have done 2C-I during the daytime and mostly outdoors in the forest, so that probally changes the subjective experience.
 
i noticed you didnt say anything of the body load or waves most commonly assotiated with 2ci. On my first time, the first wave I got scared me to death, then I learned to like them and could bring them on either through concentration or certain thought patterns.

I was wondering, did u feel the body waves? They seem to be noticeable at smaller doses, for me
 
Interesting... I couldn't imagine getting visuals like that from a dose like that. But 2C-I seems to produce very idiosyncratic reactions. Thanks for the report!
 
I heard 2C-I was between LSd and ecstasy but the report doesn't show any MDAM effect. Any comment ?
 
People who describe 2C-I as a cross between LSD and MDMA have probably only ever tried LSD and MDMA. It's really nothing like a cross between the two. It can be empathogenic, but it's more of an analytical mental psychedelic, and can be a bit edgy. IMO, if you're looking for an MDMA sort of substitute, 2C-I has good potential but you have to put some work into it.
