2CB is rare to come by in my area, so when a friend happened to run into some, I had to put myself down for the ride. Unfortunately, there were only three 5mg pills left, and they had to be split between 6 of us. I've heard for a good trip you need to double-drop 5mg's, so I was a little apprehensive over whether anything would happen at all.

However, the night before I'd only had four hours sleep after a soul-destroying night on the most evil drug out there - alcohol. After waking up still drunk, I met friends in town and then smoked herb for a few hours. The combination of that, and eating next to nothing all day was, I think, to play a big part in what was to come.

We got the drugs, packed our shit and began the trek to 'under the bridge downtown', like the one Anthony Kiedis sung about, but less heroin. It's the bridge from a disused railway line miles from anywhere (houses/roads) in the wilderness, hidden away in the forest, with steep banks towering either side allowing for bonfires to be lit. The sunset faded, and the full moon cast it's light over the sky. We setup camp, and got the fire ready.

The three pills were split, snorted and burned like an absolute bitch, I was teary-eyed for at least 20 minutes. After half an hour I started to realise little glitches, my mind playing subtle tricks. Then we shared out the MDA (I think 2g) and for the rest of the night talked more shit & collected more firewood.

The flickering from the fire on the illuminated walls provided me with some great trippy visuals. The walls began to breathe, the tiles on the bridge rippled and waved and on the darker tiles on the roof, I could see-through the bridge and onto the starlit sky. I also kept seeing 'someone' in my peripheral vision, or sensing someone behind me although there was no one there. Momentarily standing upon a brick felt as though as I was standing on a very high building, although I knew this wasn't the case. The way the moonlight was illuminating on the trees was also strange and made me feel I was in a movie set.. everything seemed artificial. I really enjoyed this as I felt fully in control and was nothing like the overwhelming hallucinations I was ignorant of when perceiving psychedelics.

However, only one of my friends was tripping too, mildly at that.. everybody else couldn't 'feel' it and so I felt quite restricted in a way in what I could say. I was severely incapable of explaining anything, so when I told my friends about the 'see through' roof, and miserably tried to explain the concept of opacity (the measurement of how transparent something is), I was left with a few fried brains and felt like a bit of a tit. I also felt paranoid to share the 'crazy things' I was experiencing as I thought my friends would think I was faking it - I think it was because I was so surprised that a 1/3 of a pill could do that - or maybe it was the MDA? Normally I have a high tolerance to such substances as MDMA, but it must of significantly lowered from the night before. I was getting a bit paranoid anyway.

It came to walking back, so we said our goodbyes and a few of us went to crash at a mates. Immediately after exiting the undergrowth under the bridge, I was drawn to the moon - It was full and emitted an awesome green emerald light which lit up the sky. The dark clouds in-front of it seemed like puffs of black smoke, and the more I concentrated on them the closer they came toward me. However, my friends wanted to get back and weren't tripping enough to be staring at a moon, so begrudgingly I joined them on the walk back. The track we were walking on suddenly looked as though it was water, although I knew it wasn't. We finally get onto the main road, nearly at my friends house and decide to walk up on it to cut out an extra mile. Suddenly my legs turned to jelly and would often spasm.. sometimes voluntarily and my backpack felt as though it became a part of my body, or rather my body somehow melted into my backpack. It felt cool.

We arrived at my friends house, went up to his room and chilled out for a bit. There was a load of green ready to be smoked, so we got relaxed, layed out and stuck some film on (I think Battle Royale lol). Anyways, getting high really enhanced the experience. By now it must of been about 3 or 4 hours since doing the 2cb. I can't explain this very well, but if you've seen the movie 'John Malkovich', you will know what I'm talking about - suddenly I had the ability to totally disconnect my mind from my body to a point where it felt like the body wasn't mine - I could turn this on & off when I wanted, it was awesome.

Then the complete opposite happened, like what happened earlier - my body could become merged with other objects. I was holding a cookie in my hand and suddenly the cookie felt as though it was a part of my hand - I could feel the nerve endings inside the cookie.. I could feel the numbness of the cookie - this provided much hilarity to my friends, who egged me onto eat my own hand haha, but I was unable to do so. As I went to bring the cookie to my mouth - it felt wrong, almost cannibalistic but eventually I realised what I was doing and just ate it....... though I could hear the crunch of the nails :( More of the same happened (and alot of knee jitters) for a couple hours, and then it was time to go to sleep.

Now when the lights went out, things began to get interesting. There wasn't much space in the room now as we all had to squeeze on the remaining bedding, so I found myself awkwardly in between my two friends. I looked up to the ceiling, and the DVD light was reflecting onto the lightshade above which in turn using my imagination I was able to morph into a little hatch with a ladder come down, which you could see the night sky through (transparency was certainly a repeating occurrence). Now when I say, 'using my imagination', I mean being able to concentrate on making the visual 'happen'. This was a very cool 'feature' as it enabled me to virtually control my trip (I've heard 2cb is a very controllable trip).

Eventually I then morphed the hatch into a human head. I think now I started losing control of my imagination, and thus it was now not myself controlling the trip, but rather I was allowing for my imagination run wild. The head then grew a body and a giant towered over me. The giant then began waving his hands in my face in quite an aggressive, threatening manner - I thought it was hilarious.

I'd had enough of the giant, so I rolled over onto my side. In the back of my friends head/back, faces began to appear. At first, the faces would appear & disappear. They looked like your normal 18-25 year olds.. male & female. I can only really remember seeing the top halves of the bodies. Everyone seemed to be quite well dressed, and then realised they were in a club - I was in a club as well. The way the faces appeared/disappeared felt the same as when you are in a very busy club walking around, and you see all these faces come towards you as you walk past. The faces then began to react towards me. The women often looked at me quite seductively, smiling and gazing into my eyes. Suddenly, the faces began to morph (I was letting my imagination do this) into beast-like creatures with thousands of eyes, or with lizard features. (Perhaps this means that I am unsure of people's true intentions and it kinda fits in with the paranoia I was feeling earlier) It wasn't freaking me out, I found it pretty funny. This happened for about 10 or so minutes, and every time I'd look behind at my pillow there was a girl in a black corset laying down, looking up at me and seductively playing with her hair. Eventually after being fed up of the faces, I concentrated more on the girl on my pillow. I knew I was tripping so thought 'Hmm, what if I touch her'. I brushed her hair with the side of my hand and as my perceptions were so fucked, it actually felt like real hair. I was pretty amazed and blurted "wtf man, there's this hot girl on my pillow". One of my friends still half awake mumbled something like 'no there isn't, go to sleep'.. so before making out with a pillow, I shut my eyes and went to sleep instantly.

I woke up the next day feeling good, but a bit physically fatigued from two heavyish nights. I was quite braindead for the next two days, but my creativity and senses flourished, and was able to write a lot of new music. The logical side of my brain however just seemed like it had taken a beaten.

I'm not sure if it was the 2cb or the MDA which made me trip so much, but for someone who has a high tolerance I was quite suprised. The ability to be in full control of myself during the trip was also pretty awesome. I will certainly do 2CB again when it becomes available, and next time I hope that all of us will be on the same 'level' and which should in turn make the experience a whole lot more enjoyable - there were certainly times when I would 'restrict' my imagination at the bridge, but at my friends house I let it run.

Thanks for reading =)
