my friend has some 2c-i and he's telling me its just like LSD
i've been looking for some lsd for the longest and can't seem to find it anywhere
he got me very interested in this substance when he said its simalr to lsd
is this true? thanks guys
 
it's similar in that it's a psychedelic, but the trip is very different

I believe most people (including myself) find 2c-i to be a very boring psychedelic. If you've never done psychedelics before, it might be okay to start with, but it doesn't even really have the depth that other 2c-x drugs have, let alone LSD.
 
I was sold something as 2c-b the other day, and decided to take it after i took a couple tabs of lsd and wasn't tripping that hard. Seemed to me like it was a low dose of both chemicals, and i don't think it was 2c-b based on the effects and the fact that it was a small amount of powder(laid in geltabs, so maybe 2c-i not 2c-b?). Basically the whole experience was similar to a lowish dose of lsd but with slightly different visuals. Then again, practically every lsd experience gives me different visuals so who knows. (Although i know for a fact the other tabs i took were not lsd, tasted nothing like it)

Either way, i doubt any chemical other then lsd could be "just like it", however it is possible that the effects are similar. I would try it, who knows, maybe he was sold lsd as 2c-i? the possibilities are endless.
 
^ lsd is active in the mcg ranges while 2c-i in the mg ranges. So having lsd powder would be impossible since the dose is so small there is no way to gauge it. 2c-1 is usually powder so there is no way lsd can be 2c-i.
 
my friend has liquid 2c-i, it comes in small viles of 20mg
i guess i'll give this a try but im sure it can't compare to lsd-25 =[
 
2c-i is absolutely nothing like LSD.

I wouldn't even say it's similar because "it's a psychedelic", it is more like a stimulant with visuals.

To be a psychedelic the chemical must cause your mind to manifest.

2c-i doesn't even do that, it's like stimulating thoughts with visuals that are fun.

LSD is much more deep and subjective.

2c-i is more linear and controllable, even at higher doses....but then the side effects suck.

I find depth is far more dependant on what's going on in your head at that time in your life than the chemical you ingest. I have had very deep and profound experiences with 2C-I and other 2Cs. Likewise I've had very superficial and light LSD trips. It's just that if there's no problem in your head, there's no emotion to grab onto, hence the trip ends up being fairly light. It's got something to do with chemical but more to do with "set".

2C-I can be very deep if your set is right.

Anyways. 2C-I is different than LSD, does it have similarities? yes, but it's certainly not the same.
 
2C-I is psychedelic but not all that much, IME it was more like an empathogen with sensory effects and an interesting energy vibe.
Maybe at first glance if you're not familiar with the many different compounds and the effects they elucidate you see more similarity than difference but as soon as you see more of the spectrum you'll see that there's actually some space between them...
 
When you take 2C-I with LSD it's kind of like LSD.

Otherwise, no, not really much like it at all, except that they both cause visual distortions and a fairly profound intoxication at higher doses.
 
Okay, I guess to re-iterate what I was trying to get across.

2C-I is like a psychedelic with training wheels. You get a little stimulant effect, and you definitely get some visuals, but the psychological shift that I find to be central to a psychedelic experience is pretty much absent. It might be okay to do at a party or something where you don't really want to feel trapped inside your own mind, but to date it's the most boring and least rewarding "psychedelic" I've ever done.
 
I agree that 2c-i is not as deep as most psychedelics but I've gotten a lot of use out of it. I think that it's one of the best things to take if you want to trip at a show. It gives you plenty of enery to dance, lightshows are even better, and I can go from intimately involved with the music to having a conversation(if I have to). Personally, in a very general sense, I think that 2c-i is best described as being a mix of LSD and MDMA with less mindfuck.
 
Like everyone else, I'd have to say that 2C-I and LSD are worlds apart - few similarities really. Then again, any and all psyches (especially lesser known ones) are almost inevitably touted as being "like LSD" or "like a mix of LSD and MDMA" just because they're the easiest point of reference.

I quite like 2C-I myself - bit overstimulating sometimes for my tastes though - and it makes for a good party drug. It certainly can be used for more "spiritual" purposes if you want it to but it's more of a euphoric stimulant with added swirls really. Very little headfuck so probably a good choice for a "beginner" psyche to give a small taste of the psychedelic experience without being to scary.

Not even in the same timezone as LSD let alone ballpark though.
 
2C-I is awesome, but it isn't really that similar in effect to LSD. If any 2CX was to be sold as acid, I would say 2C-E would be most fair. (But it's still obviously different, tryptamine vs phenethylamine.)
 
at sufficient doses 2CI is more LSD-like than 2CB (which is more mescaline like), but not quite as close/as profoundly psychedelic as 2CE. I find it a really worthwhile compound though, and with the potential to be quiet deep and psychedelic. It's also one of the more visually interesting 2C's, very fractally and edgy...which also sort of goes as a descritpion for the experience itself

i agree with this post other than the fact that i really didnt have any negative side effects from 2c-i
 
I agree in general with the previous posts. 2c-i is more like a stimulant with some psychedelic properties, but does not seem as "deep" as LSD. I had fun with it, and it was strong, but it lacked the "teaching" qualities I find on LSD.

There is one other way that they are very, very different, which nobody here has mentioned.
LSD has been used for more than a half century, and we have a pretty good idea that it is very safe, physically. 2c-i is very new, and we still really don't know what it does to your body.

(That said, a few 2c-i experiences probably won't hurt you much, based on my own experience and those of other bluelighters and posters to erowid. Still, this is hearsay, and LSD has been studied in much more depth.)
 
I think some people hold mushrooms and LSD as being a bit too sacred compared to other tryps and PEAs just because they are older and more well known. They are obviously some very deep compounds, but I feel that some of their users approach any other RC psychs with a really biased mindset. (If you go into an RC trip thinking of it as a useless stimulant just because it's an RC, which is a stupid word, your trip is going to blow.)

Am I the only person ( :P) who is willing to let a truly deep and magnificient experience occur when it comes to me, regardless of the source substance we are talking of? Cough syrup and RC trips have done a ton for me and I think it's partially because I don't look down on the source of my psychedelia from the top, but just let it flow.
