~40mg 2ci - experienced - face blown off

This reports documents my recent experience with 40 mg of 2C-i ingested orally.

I hadnt had a real psychedelic experience in a while so I decided to treat myself to some of the 2C-i I had been saving. My friends and I split the costs initially but they ended up not being that into it, so I got to hold onto the stuff.

I wanted to do this the previous day but I had things to take care of and it didnt feel right, so I waited one more day. Earlier in the previous day one of the above-mentioned friends wanted to do some 2c-i with his girlfriend that night so they came over and hung out, and since I have the scale only .00 scale out of us so I weighed out about 20-25mg each. Unfortunetaly I think my scale is on the fritz because they seemed slightly large (maybe 30-40mg?) but the scale said 20-30 and teetered a bit. So we hung out a bit more and they headed off.
Next day...
My friend calls me the next day to chat, and tells me he had a CRAZY experience. I quote he was “Tripping balls.” I said in a good or bad way, he said good, but that it was still a little intense for the concert they went to that night. Meh.

Around 4PM I decided it would be a good time to start my experience. I was at home and no one was going to be in or out the entire day, so it was alone time. The past few psychedelic experiences Ive had were with at least one or two other people, so I was looking forward to the alone time. I also had a lot of life problems I needed to contemplate and work out. I also looked forward to making some music while I was tripping. I hadnt had any good music-making time lately, and my creative juices werent flowing like they normally do. I figured I would make some sweet stuff tonite.

I had planned on doing 20mg, but I filled my capsule up to where I had filled my friend's capsules and weighed it out, it teetered back and forth between 30 & 40mg. It looked like a decent amount, a little large but nothing extreme. [A few days later I used a friends scale and determined I ingested 35-42ish mg) probably closer to 40mg.

I had done ~15 – 20mg nasally once, and had maybe 4 or 5 experiences with just 3-5ish mg nasally. So I felt pretty prepared.
I gave dosing the capsule a few second thoughts and just downed it with some juice or something. I also planned on doing a small maybe 5mg bump of 2ci while I was peaking from the oral dose, to give me a very intense experience. I now understand the dose-curve on 2ci much better thanks to this experience....

Within 30 minutes I was building up a very intense body high. I laid down for a few minutes, sat in my computer chair. It was pretty over-stimulating, but also semi-euphoric. I started feeling a definite mind-state change after 40-45 minutes, and within an hour I was completely hyped up, objects were starting to morph and my body felt like it was going to literally explode with energy. I was getting waves of happiness with occasional sadness and a slow-but-sure mind-altering. It was almost TOO stimulating. And soon enough the intense teeth grinding showed its face, and I was clenching my jaw pretty furiously the whole night. While I do get a similar feeling from most psychs, its not as pronounced.
I did worry for a bit that my peak would be too intense for me to handle, so I had some klonopin and ativan on hand.

I took an orally disintegrating ondansetron pill 10 minutes after I started feeling the come up, and I had no nausea at all the entire night. However.... for the first 2 or so hours of my trip it felt like everything in my stomach was flowing upwards, like my innards had reversed. So its completely possible that without the ondansetron I would have thrown up.

It was a feeling very reminiscent of a high-dose of mushrooms (4 grams or more), but also like I was coke'd out like crazy. I had an experience a few years ago with 4-5 grams of mushroms and around 150mg of MDMA, this was VERY similar to that experience. I was clenching my jaw like I wanted to break my teeth. My jaw still hurts after 2 days. This feeling came in waves, but the waves were very fast. At times my vision would flash at something like 5 frames per second, which has occurred with me at high mushroom doses before.

After around 1.5 hous I was definitely in a peak-mode. I was seeing fractals everywhere. Objects were vibrating very fast and leaving trails. Faces coming out of the walls. Things were wobbly and if I stared at something long enough I would hallucinate things like faces or other bizarre scenes. The OEVs are hard to explain. I mostly saw fractals, patterns with some minor coloration change. But for a solid 1 – 1 ½ during the peak hours everything was vibrating and trailing, similar to the stereotypical acid/mushroom trip found in Hollywood movies. Focusing on objects was a challenge at times. Looking in the mirror was hard because my face was morphing bigger and smaller, like a fun-house mirror. My pores and skin bumps were moving, dissapearing etc. My pupils were GIGANTIC the whole night as well, until the minute I went to sleep. My entire body was shaking pretty furiously, I worried about seizing up, but I dealt with it most of the night. Smoking weed helped with the shaking somewhat.

I played with my micro-LED lights for a beat during the peak. The lights definitely enhanced the experience, but my concentration kept trailing off, and while the light trails were very strong and soothing, nothing beats the light trails I saw on my first LSD trip. Colors were deeply enhanced.

I definitely had a head-change, most definitely a psychedelic one. However it was not as pronounced as mushrooms, and only slightly less pronounced than LSD for me. I could laugh at myself, and step back into reality when I needed to, however I was pretty overwhelmed by the drug most of the day/night. My attention span shrunk considerably, it was hard to focus on something too long. I really wanted to do as many things as I could while tripping.

I really didnt want to make music, I was so over stimulated and just plain tripping so hard, I couldnt focus on my computer, or my keyboard. I would write some wonderful piano pieces that I thought were beautiful and just get bored of it really fast. And when I looked at the synth's in Reason 4 I got lost in the knobs even though I know my synths fairly well while sober.

I smoked a “mole bowl” (weed and tobaco in a bong) out of habit. I usually FIEND tobacco while Im on 2ci and most other stimulants (besides mushrooms and lsd), but that fiend was almost completely gone. I was tripping so hard I didnt even want to smoke weed. I did anyways though ;). Smoked a mole, which made my body burst with warmth and euphoria for a few minutes. It almost felt like I was going to seize, but didnt. Smoking weed was actually hard because I was so shaky and slow.

Things got so intense that I decided to take a walk around the block to cool down. The walk was crazy in itself, interacting with others on the street freaked me out a bit, and I walked by a cop car, which also freaked me out because he turned his car on right as I passed him. Looking in the sky showed strange shapes and colors similar to the game “Audio surf” but not as colorful and pronounced. Most of my CEVS and OEVs were similar to the game Audiosurf in all honesty.

Language had almost lost all meaning to me. Words had no effect on my brain. For example saying "2ci" registered in my brain as "too-cee-eye". Words lost their connections to ideas in my mind, even names. They all seemed to slur together in my subconscious. It tripped me out a little, and has actually persisted for a few days after the trip.

Getting home I laid on my bed for a solid 30 minutes and listened to some music. The first time I did this I put on a psychedelic-dubstep mix by Mimosa. With my eyes closed in the dark, I had some of the most intense CEVs Ive ever had. I flew through massive sceneries and played out random events and scenarios in my minds eye. I could “see” my music with complete clarity, visualizing it was amazing. Each layer of the track had its own part in this giant psychedelic column with moving parts, that moved and morphed perfectly to the song I was listening to. All the while I had a body high that felt like a 200x multiplied feeling of that warmth you get after a couple shots of hard liquor. And yeah I was clenching my jaw like a m-fer. The psychedelia was intense, but it was also perfect for any music I was listening to, and made me kind of wish I was at a concert or a rave, because I already felt like I was at one just laying on my bed in the dark. Opening my eyes revealed spiraling patterns and jewel-like objects forming on my ceiling.

While I was laying down in the dark (after turning the music off for a minute) the body high started getting so intense that I would get slight disassociation for a second. It felt very much like a brain zap, but not discomforting, it was almost euphoric. However each time I 'zapped' my brain, my body would feel almost as though it was about to convulse and seize. I did worry for a little bit that I would have a seizure and no one would know (because not a soul knew where I was or what I was doing, and a friend of mine recently had a seizure due to stimulant use). Luckily that paranoia passed.

My appetite during the whole thing was decent, but food was hard to eat, was pretty unappealing, and would occasionally make me feel slightly noxious after ingestion.

This lasted 3 or 4 hours before starting to fade, but I was still tripping what felt like 15-20mg of the stuff for another 2 hours. I smoked weed maybe 4 to 6 times while peaking and another 4 or 5 after the peak. It enahcned my experience, but not by much because I had smoked earlier in the day before my trip. I watched maybe an hour or two of Chappelles show online, and laughed my ass off!! But there was times when I started thinking too deeply about it, gaining “insight” into racism in america, and got mad at Dave a couple of times for doing things I felt were setting back color relations in the US.

2ci usually gets me pretty horny, its a very erotic chemical for me. But I was so overwhelmed by the high dose, that I had no erotica flowing through me at all, until much later in the night when I started coming down. It also never even crossed my mind to take a 5mg bump while I was peaking, Im so glad I didnt.

I was tripping still around 10 but it wasnt as extreme. It felt more like a couple grams of mushrooms with a little coke or mdma or something mixed in there! I had to hang out with a friend of mine around 11 so I popped a klonopin and 2 ativan to cool me down. I relaxed and went to sleep around 12:30, still feeling a nice body high and some decent fractal-like CEVs. Unfortunetly I couldnt sleep and for some reason made the decision to take 30mg of Mirtazapine around 12:15 to basically end my trip.

Besides my first LSD experience (which totally could have been some other drug, however I doubt it) which made me hallucinate 3D objects and people in the sky dancing and such, this was the strongest trip I have ever had. Definitely fun, and a mind opener. But a little on the strong side, it caught me off guard because I expected a slightly more stimulant/narcotic w/e you wanna call it feeling. I also took the dose curve for granted, figuring 30mg would be double the effect of 15mg, when its really a little stronger in my opinion.

While I did get caught off guard, and I consider myself decently experienced with psychedelics, I would have loved to be at a rave or a party. Albeit I can see an inexperienced user being a little frightened by the ordeal.

Hope this provided someone with some useful info!!

Pros:
Very intense CEVs that gave me some great synesthesia with music
very intense euphoric stimulation/body high
not much nausea
lights and colors were enhanced
OEVs were fun and interesting
intense lovey dovey feeling, i wante to hug anyone and everyone and tell them i loved them. much like high dose MDMA or MDA more specifically
A decent “mind opening” feeling.
Lasted 5 or 6 hours at least with peak-like effects.

Cons:
shaking almost uncontrollably
occasional overstimulation that felt like Brain Zaps
jaw clenching like crazy
overwhelemd a bit at first by the intensity
killed any erotic feelings I had for 5 or 6 hours (not completely a con)
some mildly strong anorexia
felt like i had to shit and piss the ENTIRE time

edit:
the entire time i felt like i had to poop my brains out, and every 5 seconds a wave would come over me and it felt like i was peeing my pants, but upon entering the bathroom not a drop would come out!

I enjoyed reading this, sounds like an intense trip. I too quite enjoy 2C-I, though I've only taken it in 20mg doses. I wish I had some more so I could explore what higher dosages have to offer.

At 20mg, I found it pleasantly stimulating with mild, but enjoyable psychedelic effects. i found it produced more of a visual enhancement rather than the overt color shifting, movement and geometric patterning of LSD or mushrooms. Colors seemed deeper, with pastel tones especially prominent, while shadows would shimmer and begin to crawl. Patterned surfaces would appear more uniform and flat than usual and people's facial expressions, especially the eyes, seemed a exaggerated. Mentally, there is the hallmark "tripping", detached analytical, head-state where things seem amusing, but there was very little confusion of difficulty verbalizing. It's the only psychedelic drug where I actually feel comfortable socializing with people not tripping while under the influence. The main downside was the nausea and dry heaving on the come up, but that would pass by the time the trip would begin. I imagine it would be a blast at a concert or festival.

Thanks for sharing!
