Help - No effect from 2C-I

My friend took 60 mg total (over the day, after realizing 20 mg had no effect) of 2C-I and only felt a small buzz. This came from the same batch that I use all of the time with great results. I've heard of this rarely happening to others, but I've never seen an explanation. My friend is not on any other meds at the moment and has taken amphetamines in the past with remarkable results. Also, he has tried an appropriate amount of mushrooms in the past with no results either. Do any pharmacology experts know what may be going on here? Thank you.

My fault, friends. I am just in search of some possible answers. Thank you.
 
No really, just say I. Saying "SWIM" or "my friend" or "Bob" doesn't mask you from any persecution, and everyone knows it's you.
 
Do you have any tolerance for psychedelics, particularly similar phenethylamines? Have you had success with other ones (perhaps 2C-E)?

2C-I was never very much of anything for me at all aside from the physical/mental stimulation with hints of euphoria. However, I've noticed cross-tolerance between psychedelics recently (namely between 2C-I and 4-AcO-DMT) due to using 2C-I twice in two weeks.
 
Ah, I suppose. I've only taken up to 40mg, and even then after the relatively intense come-up hours (it takes about two to really settle in for me) it was absolutely nothing compared to 2C-E.
 
My friend is actually the one that tried it, and this is his first phenethylamine. Like I mentioned before, this was from the same batch that I have been using. I am fairly experienced, so I wanted to introduce it to him. I usually take 15-20 mg with great results. I actually seem to be slightly sensitive, as anything greater that 20 is a little much for me. 2C-E at 15 mg had me completely wacked out in a state of recursion.
Anyway, I'm really just trying to figure out, chemically, what may be going on. We gave it a good 3 hours after the 20 to try a higher dosage. It was apparent that if he felt absolutely nothing, that increasing the dose substantially probably wouldn't do much either, but we wanted to try, for science. He has a history of various drug use (alprazolam, cocaine, adderall), but has been mostly clean for years, and I know that others on here have had remarkable results with 2C-I while having a history of other drug use. So maybe it's genetic?
 
i know it might sound absurd, but this could be related to the 'natural tolerance' thread...

what kind of set/setting did you guys have for this trip? how well has he been 'educated' on the effects of psyches? what kind of expectations did he have? do you have access to different phens?

i would say try again in two weeks in the name of science, but you will need to develop a clear plan for getting this guy high :) trance-y music, an experienced sitter, some glow-sticks, soft and friendly animals to pet, maybe even a significant other, etc etc.
 
I'm thinking it must be natural tolerance. I educated him well, showed him Pihkal, taught him a little chemistry, etc. I have a few phens and a few tryps, so we may try something else. It's frustrating that I can't share the experience with him. I wish I knew what was going on, chemically. Regardless of the setting he should have been out of his mind at that dose.
Thanks for the responses, and forgive my Bluelight noobness. Although I'm a new forum member, I've been in the psychedelic realm for a while now. I'll post an update if he has a successful experience.
