I know there's also a thread about the antidepressant properties of them, but it seems they also have alot of potential as study aids, energy boosts or as a motivational boost in low treshold doses.

I personally have found this property with 5mg of 2CD, before i went to work yesterday i barely had any sleep (3 hours) and would have been exhausted at my job, however after taking the 2CD i found that i was full of energy, and the physical work as my job went very well, i noted very little fatigue at a task that would have made me tired rather easily.

In other threads ive also found those experiences:

Been taking low ~3-5mg morning doses of 2C-E recently mostly as an exercise / weight-training companion.

Highly recommended.

A little Theobromine and Creatine Ethyl Esther for energy, low doses of Phenibut and Diphenhydramine as recommended here to reduce general Phenethylamine discomfort, add some Whey Protein, and I've been making some pretty good progress.

I find low-dose 2C-E to be a smooth, almost trance-inducing way to ensure lasting motivation during physical exertion.

About a million times more useful/safe than real stimulants.

I know someone who's found threshold doses of 2C-I to be useful for energy, motivation, etc. I guess different drugs work for different people.

Any more experiences with using psychedelics this way?
 
2C-D was said in PiHKAL to be a 'smart pill'. I believe this would generally include some increased wakefulness/energy as well as possibly improved focus in some ways. I definitely look forward to using 2C-D in this manner at some point in the near future. As a consistently sleep deprived student, a little interesting cognitive boost might be nice a few times a semester for an all day study session or paper writing. I'd just be worried about dosing too much or giving myself an annoying tolerance that hinders nearby recreational usage.
 
Interesting, I haven't tried this but next time I get some phenethylamines I will.

I am, in fact, going to dose some mescaline this afternoon which may have a similar effect if I undershoot (unknown purity).
 
~1 mg 2C-P does the trick for me!

I'm an artist and I often have trouble forcing myself to work and be productive... But 5 minutes after a speck of 2cp I am drawing furiously for hours... good stuff too! Then I go to bed feeling satisfied, sleep well with great dreams, and wake up totally refreshed! <3 :D

Modulate with hashish to your taste %)
 
I have done this extensively... in fact it's become my main usage of psychedelics. My favorite booster, so to speak, is DOC, though DOM also works nearly as well. I take .5 to 1mg and it brings on the plateau stage effects, which for me are energy, mood boost and extreme mood stabilization, cognitive enhancement, empathy, and a sort of a general feel that everything is easier and goes with the flow. Low doses like this allow me to sleep at the end of the day easily and they really don't drain me at all... there's a slight tolerance build-up so I generally wouldn't do it 2 days in a row but I have done it up to 4 or 5 days in a row with reduced effects but without burnout.
 
sometimes if i have a sugar cube of acid left in the fridge after about 5 days since the last trip, i'll get tempted to munch it, even though its got diminished (FAR more diminished) effects.
i dunno, i quite enjoy low dose LSD as an energy booster. makes my head feel clearer too.
normal doses however, make my mind go a mile a minute :D
 
Hmm. I used to trick myself into believing that it made perfect sense to take a correctly measured, low dose of various psychedelic compounds for energy, improved focus, improved physical ability, or what-have-you. Eventually, I realized that it isn't a good thing to reason away drug use like that and that it is tantamount to drug abuse. Don't fall into the trap. How about you just be more responsible, get the correct amount of sleep, and perform your required duties and job activities on your own like most people do? If you keep believing that you can pop a pill or dose a certain substance to help you get things done in life when you should be able to do those things on your own, you are falling into a terrible trap.
 
While of course it's true that it can easily become a trap (and it certainly was for me for years as many here can attest to), I don't necessarily think that using an occasional substance to help you get something done is a negative thing. Do you ever use caffeine to give you a little energy? Maybe you don't and you really do believe that no one should use any substances in a utilitarian manner, in which case we've just got a difference of opinion going on here.

But you know, just because you CAN do something without a substance doesn't mean it's wrong to use a substance to help you with something, or even just to alter your experience of something. So I like to take a low dose of DOC or DOM to make my day a little more recreational. It's called recreational drug use, and does not necessarily equate to abuse. Sometimes I like to smoke weed to write, because I like what it does with my word selection and flow. I do the same with psychedelics sometimes. To me, this is a perfectly legitimate use of a psychedelic substance.

I agree if you're dosing something all the time to get anything done, or if you feel like you have to have a substance in you to do something, it's a problem. And I've had my share of that. But it doesn't mean that if you use a low dose of psychedelic for a specific purpose occasionally, you're abusing drugs.
 
^^ both above posts are very true :)

when i munch a sugarcube thats leftover, i do it simply because i enjoy the varied spectrum of effects on lsd.
like i said, low/diminished-effect dose acid for me is more of a mind relaxer, enegery booster, and sinus clearer.
whereas a normal or strong dose, makes my mind wild, and gives me weird sinus sensations, along with the usual fun.

all psychedelics IME have extremely varied effects depending on dosage.


to each his own.
 
Yeah, my mescaline trip is going nowhere fast, but I'm enjoying the increased energy, sociability, and so on...All I wanted to do today was relax anyway, so I'm headed to the liquor store while I wait on some kush=D
 
just make sure that if it hits you while in the store you dont grab bottles and pour them over your arm,
like a friend of mine did on his first acid trip in france....


needless to say the cashier looked at him weird as fuck as he giggled and poured it everywhere...
 
Ive taken both low doses of 2ce and 2ci on separate occasions. 2C-I gave me a boost of energy and a mood lift, it was perfect for just riding my bike. I was able to exercise a lot longer, as I didn't feel fatigued. I've also taken extremely low doses at work, and its usually enjoyable. Have to be careful cuz it hits me a lot harder in that environment.

2C-E on the other hand doesn't really offer stimulation, so I got tired of riding my bike pretty quick. I was just left wanting more.
 
Low-dose 2C-E can go just about anywhere... it's got the potential to be greatly nootropic, but on the other hand 2C-E is a powerful psychedelic and you can end up in some unexpected places with unexpected intensity.
 
i have never really done acid. however i have taken it more than 10 times. i got these tabs that were weak as hell but super cheap. my experienced friend took 9 and estimated it was probably around 20 mics a tab. so i took one or two a day for about a week and those days i was hyper and very nice
 
I did a tiny little peice of really good acid yesterday before going to work. I am a produce clerk at a grocery store, and overall it was a good experience. I was defintely motivated to do my job, felt slightly more sociable, all around more energized. I ate a peice of pizza at lunch and my tummy didn't like it very much for an hour or so. There were little tiny moments of slight confusion or little bits of paranoia here and there, but it was completely ignorable, as simultaneous feelings of energy would take over. Other than that it was a very enjoyable day at work I gotta say. It had a sort of antidepressant effect. I don't think i'll repeat it at work, just because work sucks and I'd rather use lsd anywhere else...but it was a fun spur of the moment experiment; a spur of the moment idea i got from reading bluelight.
 
low doses of 2c-e(maybe 1-5mg nasally, don't have a scale where they measure out) really helped me quickly learn concepts in math and computer science. Once I was able to grasp the concepts on it, they were also engraved into my memory much better than normal.

it also seems to get me much more interested in the material. for example, I made a 2D game in C#(a language I've never used before, but similar to java which my computer science class is based off) using direct-x(something I never had the patience to grasp before). Collision detection, movement, special effects, it came out pretty good. After making that game for no reason other than interest, I found that I feel 100% more comfortable coding in any language. I got a 100 on the computer science final, sadly I am too much of a lazy slacker for that to matter much with all my missed work.

The music I make in fruity loops also gets much better after I fool around with it on 2c-e, but thats more of an expected result.
 
I've been using 50mg doses of mescaline for energy and motivation throughout the day with great success. In fact I think I'm going to take some tonight for an all-nighter. Got essays to write...
