Substance - 2C-T-2
Experience – First time
Setting – my basement
I have been interested in the 2C compounds for awhile now. My first experience with 2C-I was almost perfect. I felt I needed to explore these chemicals a little more, rather than limit myself to one.
For the evening I was trying to decide on 2C-T-2 or 2C-C. I was debating whether I should go with something I’ve wanted to try for awhile, or go with something new and be adventurous. I opted to go with the 2C-T-2 as it had been on my “to do” list longer.
I had heard of the horrible nausea that had been associated with 2C-T-2 so I decided to mix my dose into a drink, and sip it over 30 minutes. I poured myself a tall glass of juice and sprinkled 14mg of 2C-T-2 into it. I lit some incense and prepared to drink.
11:10 PM – I sip my 2C-T-2 cocktail. There is no taste other than the juice. I am pleased as I did not want a chemical flavored beverage.
11:30 PM – I’m still sipping my drink. I am almost ¾ done with it. I feel a bit light headedness. There is no nausea to speak off. I had a garbage bag nearby in case I needed to throw up, but I could tell it wasn’t going to be a problem.
11:38 PM – I finish my drink. I have a mild body high now. It feels a lot like how I remember 2C-I feeling. My mind seems to be drifting off.
12:00 AM – My depth perception is definitely altered. I am at my computer and it seems much farther away from me than it did a few minutes ago. I reach out for it and my arm seems to extend forever until it makes contact. Quite interesting.
12:05 AM – I notice a bit of a headache. This feels much like the 2C-I headaches I usually get. I have not read of 2C-T-2 giving headaches, but I just dismiss it as something that I will have to deal with. I also notice some objects are taking on a breathing effect. The room seems to be coming alive now.
12:08 AM – There is a light directly above me. It feels so warm. I makes me quite happy and I feel very comfortable.
12:20 AM – Body buzz is getting stronger. I also notice a splash of color on the walls. It looked like someone splashed red paint, and then it faded away. It was quite nice to see. I call my girlfriend R as she had been out for the night, and wanted to hear from me. Talking to her increased my mood even more.
12:35 AM – Strong patterning has appeared. Very colorful images are sliding across the carpet. I try to describe them to R but I can say is they are beautiful. She laughs. I have no problem talking to her while tripping, as she knows how incoherent I can become. And because I know she is aware of this, I feel no shame.
1:00 AM – I hang up with R. I am still completely in awe of the patterning I’m seeing. The body buzz is still there but actually seems weaker. Could it be I have passed the peak in less than 2 hours?
1:30 AM – The patterning stops. This surprises me as the hallucinations I was having were so vivid and now they are gone. The breathing of objects seems to have diminished as well.
2:00 AM – All visuals are gone. The body buzz is mild at best. My mind feels completely sober. I am extremely confused by this. I had read the duration of 2C-T-2 was roughly 6-8 hours. It was almost 3 hours since I started ingesting it and I felt sober. Perhaps this comes in waves I thought. I decided to just wait, and that it would all come back to me.
3:00 AM – Nothing. I still feel sober. But I feel stimulated. I am rather disappointed the results here. I try to go to sleep, but it does not work. I feel like I’ve had way too much caffeine. I take 10mg of Valium.
3:30 AM – The valium has knocked me out, and I am done for the night.
-------------------------------------------------
I don’t know exactly what to think here. I was really disappointed with how short it was. I don’t understand why this happened. Perhaps my body metabolizes 2C-T-2 very quickly. Also, it could have been my dose was weak; a mere 14mg. Also, drinking over the 30 minutes could have made a difference.
The results of this could have been a combination of things. I guess I’ll need to try this again. I think next time I will take a higher dose (16-18mg) and I’ll take it all at once, and just try to deal with the nausea that may come.
The effects of this drug were quite pleasant for awhile. It was just a shame to have them all end so fast…
 
Nice report.
2C-T-2 has a very steep dose/response curve. At 16 mg, I had an uneventful and unexciting mellow +2. At 20 mg, the effects increase dramatically. 20 mg produces a full and powerful +3 for me. I suspect you just didn't take enough.
Also, 2C-T-2 is a relatively short-acting psychedelic. Even with large dosages, I'm largely down by the 4th hour. It is no surprise that 14 mg sipped over a 1/2 hr period produced the mild effects it did for you. I'd go for 18-20 mg next time and take it all at once. There may be some possible nausea and vomiting but it should clear up by the second hour.

14mg drank over 30 minutes... I'm surprised you felt as much as you did!
The "sweet spot" with this chemical for most people is in the 16-20mg range. Under 16mg theres usually not enough to justify doing it, over 20mg, the body load gets problematic enough to cancel out the increased psychedelic activity. For me, 18mg is ideal.
I recommend fasting at least 12 hours before, then eating 2 or 3 saltine crackers with the dose. The only times I had any real nausea from 2C-T-2 were after eating large meals... even then, its a pretty mild nausea that usually passes before the peak kicks in.
 
Excellent report (as usual) Matt_Himself :)
I'm sorry to hear the effects were not as pronounced or prelonged as you were expecting. Like MGS and Murple have stated already, it was probably due to your dosage level and route of administration.
Perhaps next time placing the substance within a gel-capsule and swallowing it might be a good idea.
Good luck with your next experience, hope it reveals more next time.
 
Excellent report.
Personally, fasting prior to tripping has little or no effect on the amount of nausea. In fact, I find that it's best to have a little something in my stomach prior to dosing. Regardless of whether or not I fast, I almost inevitably experience nausea if I don't consume it over a half-hour or thereabouts.
I've noticed the same sudden drop-off in effects that you experienced. One second the wall is swirling, and an instant later I feel completely sober. Strange little characteristic that seems fairly unique to 2C-T-2, at least, in my experience.
16-18 mg + a few hits of cannabis puts me in a very nice place.
peace

I've fasted each time I've taken T2, and I still violently vomit with it. Even with a low dose. Something about that chem, it just rips up my stomach.

If you haven't already tried it, you may really want to consider doing as myself, Matt, and others have done; that is, dissolving and consuming slowly.
The last time I tried it was at 12 mg dissolved in a small amount of wine, gulped. Never have I forced myself to stay quite so still for fear of my stomach turning inside out.
2C-T-2 really *can* be a very rewarding chemical, but that kind of nausea can put a serious damper on the remainder of a trip.
 
that does sound very short but to my mind that dosage is very low I'd suggest nearer 20 for a go - 25-6mg of pure white crystal 2ct-2 can blow me away for 6-9hrs. 2ct-2 also can be an odd one & takes some working with to get the best results but can be really really impressive then. I have had some of the pale brown powder 2ct-2 & found it less than good but it might be just that batch. Anyway good luck next time - 2ct2 is in my top 6 or 7 psychedelics.
