I've not seen mentions of 2C-T erraticness in PiHKAL but for me two trips were duds. And with duds I mean no psychedelic effects at all, despite the dose being appropriate.

I do hope the DOT does not surprise me too much, but as there was no bodyload, I'm not worried too much. Maybe I'm just insensitive to the material, but with 2.8 mg I had more effects than yesterday (but still these were limited to serotonergic yawning, which granted, is not a lot to go by).

Reading the last few posts I'm seriously considering if there is some unacknowledged enzymatic influence/interaction going on here. This would offer a plausible explanation for the varied reports (as seen in the recent posts) on 2C-T/DOT consistency. It'd be that 4-×ylthio.

I've also thought about this, but there are arguments to be made for and against it.
 
I think I'm due for a trip soon, maybe on Friday or Saturday. I'm trying to figure out what kind of trip I want, which in turn dictates the choice of substance. Usually I don't have much trouble figuring out what I want to do, but this time I'm at a loss. I'm feeling mentally stuck and am not sure where I need to go. All of this is in the context of my ongoing health problems, which I only recently came to understand. I'm feeling alienated with my past as I realize how much these health problem have been affecting my behavior, but I'm also extremely uncertain about my future capabilities.

The trip candidates I'm considering right now are: mushrooms (probably 0.75g which ought to be plenty for me), 2C-D (30 mg), 2C-D + 2C-B (mini-dose amounts), 2C-D + mushrooms (mini-dose amounts), 2C-E (12.5-15 mg), and 2C-P (4 mg).

I'm kind of leaning toward a longer trip but not necessarily 2C-P long, which would point to 2C-E. At the same time, I'd love to "push forward" in my evaluation of 2C-P so that I can try 6 mg later summer or early fall maybe, and I'm curious about 2C-D and its possible combos. Mushrooms might be particularly good for getting my unstuck. So many choices!

I'll keep thinking on this.

Did you note TOMSO?

@xdrc
Regarding TOMSO; Shulgin named the TOMSO-effect involving alcohol ingestion after having taken the [drug]. Alcohol does many things, including acting as a temporary ALDH inhibitor (due to acetaldehyde). The S in TOMSO happens to be heavily implicated in substrates for ALDH...

This entire venture into the study of TOMSO was an outgrowth of the extraordinary response that had been shown by one person to 5-TOM. There were two obvious approaches that might throw some light on the reason for this dramatic sensitivity. One would be to see if he was unusually capable of metabolizing sulfur-containing molecules, and the second would be to assume he was, and to try to guess just what product he had manufactured with his liver.

5-TOM =
2-MeO-4-methyl-5-methylthioamphetamine​

That methylthio is reminiscent of the 2C-T '4.

Some context / explanation for the TOMSO effect. The clues come from disulfiram which is an irreversible inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH).

I have not checked my nutrition closely during these experiments. Most was on a largely empty stomach with no candidates for ALDH induction ingested, or if so then likely not in relevant quantities. I'm grateful for the hint though and may monitor food in the days before my next DOT dose, but for now I'll just slowly work it up. I'm not in a particular rush however. But I'll still increase to a bold 12 mg. I'm not sure what I'd do if it still isn't active at that level, perhaps drop it like 2C-T.

But I can't shake the feeling that I missed something with 2C-T. I'm waiting for a friend to make and taste it eventually, maybe his report will motivate me to remake and trial it, also monitoring potential foods.

There is definitely something weird going on with these!

Agreed. T2 has been extremely consistent, T7 is a weird one

That's so weird because 2C-T-2 (2 carbons off the sulfur) is sort of between 2C-T (1 carbon) and 2C-T-7 (3 carbons). And then there is 2C-T-4 which has the 3 carbons in the branched instead of linear configuration. I believe 2C-T-4 also has consistency problems based on PIHKAL and Erowid reports.

In my explorations of 2C-T-4, I was always super cautious because of the reported high individual variation plus the very long duration, yet in all three of my evaluations I way undershot my mark. It's too bad because the effects I did get were absolutely fascinating.
