Need Advice re: First Time 2CB at a Festival

[Dawglaw]

I have never tried 2cb. Heard great things though.

I am buying two doses of 2cb - not sure if HCL or HBR nor the exact mg. Obviously I am going to test and weigh out my dose before I take it.

I am fairly sensitive to psychedelics, 2 grams of mushrooms has me going pretty well. However, I am decently experienced and am in a really good place mentally. I have done some research and 2cb looks like a lot of fun for a big concert. I am planning on taking this at Coachella in a few weeks and a bit unsure about what dosage I want to take.

Given the fact that I will be surrounded by a ton of people, I want to not lose my shit. I hate having to talk to people I don't expect to run into when I am on shrooms, it can really send things south for me. I will also have a buddy with me who will only be smoking weed.

I am thinking of somewhere around 13mg with a 10mg redose in case I am naturally tolerant.

I also will have access to 4aco-dmt, coke, weed, booze, opiates, benzos and maybe MDMA. I am not opposed to potentially making a combo.

What do you think?

I took 23mg at Hempfest last year, and at times it was quite overwhelming..... other times, I felt next to nothing. It came in waves, much more pronounced than MDMA even


2C-B is pretty social, lower doses especially hardly make any impact on your day other than making things brighter and giving you a general sense of well-being. Try it out around that dose (13, not 23 haha) before the festival if you can, better to get an idea how it will effect you before you're around thousands of people haha..

Haha. I will. Is it like MDMA where 2 days in a row is a no no? I am getting it the night before I fly down to So. Cal.

Also, Hempfest ruined me one time. I went to brunch at Greenlake Bar and Grill and got absolutely hammered and then someone wanted to go to Hempfest. An hour and a half later I find myself in some tent at Hempfest eating a sandwich of two weed cookies with an 8th of mushrooms in the middle. Needless to say the rest of the day quickly spiraled out of control. I am done with hempfest...

13mg is a very low dose of 2C-B for most people, and redoses are not as effective as taking it all at once, your experience will likely end up some version of a low-dose trip even if it gets stronger. However different people require different doses. So it's possible you're sensitive, and you wouldn't want to take too much. Have you tried any other 2C-Xs? If so, what dosages did you require for those? That might give you a sense of how sensitive you are to 2C-Xs.

Most likely you'll have the best experience if you take it all, 2C-B requires higher doses than most of the other 2C-Xs. 23mg is a pretty average dose for me.

2C-B is less of a non-no for 2 days in a row than MDMA is, but it will certainly be less effective the second day, probably by quite a bit. In the past I would often trip 2 days in a row, and it didn't super drain me or cause a hangover like MDMA would. But it's going to produce significant tolerance for sure. If you are keen on tripping 2 days in a row, I would find 2 different substances, preferably of different families (like, a tryptamine for the other day, since 2C-B is a phenethylamine). Or LSD for the other day maybe. A festival is one of those times when tripping 2 days in a row is acceptable.

No experiene with any 2c-x's before.

I am thinking of taking a tester dose of 10-12mg the wednesday before and then maybe the real dose on saturday night.

 

[Xorkoth]

That's a good idea. Likely the 10-12 will be pretty weak, and you may decide to go for 20mg or so at the show. That's my best guess judging from the collected experiences of others and myself.

FUCK lol, yeaaahh... it's not exactly a place suited for hard drugs. I'm sure the "EDM" type of vibe will be much more suited for a good experience. 2C-B is probably one of the safer drugs to take days in a row, IMO. It's relatively nontoxic and has a pretty well established history by now. I've been able to redose to great success, even if I'm adding it to another chemical entirely. It's the perfect drug for combinations IMO, it's got a great body high with strong visuals yet a head space that is not overpowering in the least (until you push the dose..)

Obviously some caution needs to be exercised but there's a reason why Shulgin said it was his favorite

That's not really long enough for tolerance to go away.. If the festival is in a few weeks I'd trip ASAP and take a break until that weekend. You can get away with tripping multiple days at an event, but if you've already tripped earlier that week it will put much more stress on you.
