I'm going to make this one quick, but the point is to give you all an idea of how 2C-I works at both threshold and "low" doses.
My doses are estimated based on both the effects and what it looked like. I have the unusual ability to eyeball things to the nearest millimeter in many cases, and all the doses I've ever eyeballed out have been within 1mg accurate, so I consider my eye to be a fairly good means of measurement.
The Threshold Dose
Means of Ingestion: A tiny bit of residue was licked off a wooden surface.
Purpose: As it was my first time, to see if 2C-I was poison to my body.
Estimated Dose: 2 to 4 mg
What happened:
30 minutes later I could feel *something*. This *something* quickly turned into a small buzz and a bit of a mood lift. My buddy came over to hang out, and we drove out to some fields and met up with another friend to walk his dog. We smoked some pot and I felt more clear headed than usual. I few times I noticed neon glowing lines in my peripheral vision but they always disappeared immediately.
Later we went to the top level of the local parking garage, which is exposed to the sky, to play more frisbee. I noticed I had a bit of extra energy, and playing frisbee was lots of fun. There were yellow arrows painted on the floor of the parking garage, and occasionally I was see these arrows quickly move or project up into the sky. Not really hallucinations or visuals so much as my vision playing tricks on me.
I was up pretty late playing frisbee, and I'd say the buzz lasted for about 5 hours.
The Low Dose
Means of Ingestion: I licked out the inside of an "empty" 2C-I baggie.
Purpose: I found the bag in my drawer and decided to lick it on impulse.
Estimated Dose: 8 to 10 mg
So I licked out the bag in the middle of writing an Anthropology paper. It tasted bitter but I've had worse. So I go on writing my paper but in about 30 minutes I get the first alerts, which are a mild increase in energy and fluency (equivilent to a couple drinks of alcohol). So that's great, I'm having fun writing my paper on this.
After another 30 minutes or so the cacti that I have sitting on my desk start to sway with the music. I didn't really know what to expect from my dose, but I guess some visuals were in order. I've always found 2C-I to be extremely visual so I wasn't surprised. Also, by this point I was certainly "high". I found myself grinning a lot. So I decided writing more of the paper was not in the cards for the night and went downstairs to watch some TV on the couch. I thought the television was pretty funny.
I was getting the restless energy that I had on my 21mg trip (though not as bad) so I asked my friend if she wanted to go for a walk. She agreed, and I rolled a spliff for the walk in hopes that it would ease my restlessness. We walked across campus and sat on a bench overlooking a large and well known lake. After smoking the spliff, I felt kind of floaty, and I could notice light patterns on surfaces that are typical of PEA's in my experience (at least they are the same visuals I get with mescaline).
We walk back because we're both getting a little chilly. My palms were clammy all night, I'm pretty sure it was from the 2C-I. Then I went and played some Mario Sunshine on Gamecube, because its one of the lowest stress and most colorful games ever made. Eventually I gave that up because I couldn't figure out how to beat the level.
I went upstairs to my dorm room and layed on my bed. I still had restless energy but I remembered last time I could focus this energy into quite a nice buzz if I wanted to. It worked this time as well, and the buzz started to feel very erotic. The patterns on the walls were more distinct now, but still mostly transparent.
I layed in bed, turned off the lights, and turned on some trip music. I closed my eyes and thought about lots of things. At this point I was having a legit psychedelic trip, which I had not expected from such a low dose. At some point I began thinking about love, but then I thought of my recent breakup with my ex-girlfriend of almost 3 years, and all of a sudden my entire vision (closed and open eyes) turned completely black and white. I tried really hard to see in color again, but it didn't work. Then I tried to think of ways in which love was still in my life... eventually the color came back but I was kind of disturbed by that experience.
I should note that I ate a cheese and turkey sandwich about an hour before this, and by this point I was having some major digestional problems, including gas, cramping, and general discomfort. This was a distracting problem for over an hour. Next time I will keep an empty stomach on 2C-I.
It was getting late so I took a melatonin and, without as much trouble as I would have expected, eventually fell asleep about 6 hours after having licked the empty bag.
-----------------
I haven't heard of people getting digestional problems on this one, so I'd like to hear if others have. I ended up chugging some Pepto Bismol because the cramping became somewhat painful. I also had a few burps accompanied with stomach acid which was really gross and made me wonder if I would have to throw up.
The restless energy in my opinion really sucks. Without this feature 2C-I would be close to a perfect psychedelic.
So, after having tried a 21mg dose, and this suspected ~ 10mg dose, I think my next dose will be about 16mg, right in the middle. I suspect that this will be just about my optimum dose (I think morninggloryseed said that was his as well, I'm not surprised).
