snorting 2c's

[Si Dread]

Yeah 5mgs up the hooter... never again. Strange & very unpleasant feeling, verging on agony...

Trip rocked but shit, it werent worth it!

 

[stumblestoprepeat]

It's funny, I've insufflated 2ce/i on several occasions and it's always the same "DAMN this sucks, not worth it, def will not do again". And then a period of time passes and I kind of forget how much it burns, which leads me to try it again. A vicious cycle!

But it does have its perks once you get over the initial 'hellfire in the nose' feeling. Shorter duration+decreased come-up time can both come in handy in some situations. But most of the time eating is preferable for me.

On the topic of local anesthetics, has anyone tried doing a small bit of cocaine/dimethocaine/ect. before attempting insufflation to ease the pain? I meant to try it for the longest time with some dimeth I had but unfortunately my self control failed me one night whilst rolling, blew through what I had left without a second thought. And dimethocaine on its own really isn't very spectacular, putting me off from buying more.

Yeah I wish I would've paid more attention to the fact that it's a "micro crystalline powder" most of the time. So yeah it's not much different than snorting glass I swear. Glass and chili powder.

I really don't think that's the big problem. These compounds are just irritants, caustic as a chemical property. Although I am not sure what happens exactly that excites your pain senses.

Isn't snow micro crystalline? Isn't ketamine and other snorted crushed crystals that actually come as crystals as you buy them? I have yet to snort snow. Ice (not talking about meth lol, that gets snorted a lot) has bigger crystal shards that might cut you.

Glass actually is not crystalline, there isn't a lattice - glass is a liquid with a ridiculously high viscosity making it seem like a solid or even crystal-like material. Not saying that snorting glass wouldn't totally destroy your nose and sinuses but I am not buying your logic.

It seems to me, and I do not really ever use either of these ROA's, that if you wanted most of the benefits of snorting without the negatives you might as well plug it.

 

[Solipsis]

Very much agreed, I find the feeling of urgently having to go to the toilet a negative but it's minor compared to snorting with 2C-X. I have only plugged a few times though.

I can see how it's a threshold for people, to plug. You have to overcome that idea, whether it's a pretty good ROA or not. It's not that difficult for me to follow how your principles of what is just right or just wrong come in the way... been there done that.
But in the end my opinion is that there is little wrong with plugging and if you cannot overcome that idea eventually, it's your own loss and I might call a little ignorance. Everybody is entitled to keep by their principles though. And the necessity is arguable. Your ass is your ass.
Lol. I almost said 'your ass is on the line', which is a very literal description of bootybumping. Ok nuf said.

I havent snorted a 2C-x since the first time I snorted 2C-I, which also happened to be my very first experience with 2C-x. These days I'll just eat it, I dont see a whole lot of benefit in snorting it as I'm not impatient enough worry about the longer come up.

 

[killevery1]

bumping 2cs is honestly not that bad, that would be the way to do it if you really want to snort it imo.

 

[kylethekilla]

best way to deal with the pain is to do a line of coke like 5 minutes before.

 

[RandomGuy123]

honestly, it doesn't really hurt bad at all.

 

[delta_9]

I've snorted 2c-b, 2c-e, 2c-c, and 2c-i and they all hurt like FUCK. None of them are more 'mild' as far as I can tell.

The pain is indeed very intense but there have been several(5 or 6) occasions for me where I decided the quick onset and smaller dose(1/2 - 2/3 oral dose) was worth the pain. I did not once regret the decision and it didn't bring down the effects, but I still have to prepare myself mentally for a few minutes...though I haven't done a phenethylamine in over a year and don't really plan to continue using them...

 

[TheUncreated]

Ok dude, I just want to drop in one more positive for snorting. I personally love snorting 2c's. The benefits I think are obvious, and for me personally the pain is really not bad at all. Definitely tolerable. It does burn for a bit but it is a very acute burn, it seems very local to one little spot in your nasal passage. I mean its not a totally systemic, entire head on fire kind of pain. And seriously, it fades after a few minutes. Plus, by the time you start shooting up to the heights of your trip almost immediately after, pain becomes meaningless and illusory anyway

Happy tripping!

 

[ABCDFG I Ate The E]

Have to agree with the above two people. I've only ever snorted 2c-e but i've done it many times, once a 20mg line. The burn is bad but if you can't handle it you're a pussy lol. My favorite thing to do is bump tiny tiny amounts (1-3mg) and wait like 20-30 minutes before the next bump.
I'm getting 2c-i in the mail today and I can't wait to snort some (I heard it's worse then 2c-e.)

 

[trip.more]

I really don't think they're that bad. It burns for a couple minutes then it's like it never happened. Worth it in my opinion.

 

[dizzai]

I've snorted 2ce a few times and didn't find the pain to be all that unbearable.

The thing that bothers me, is that if it feels like that, it seems like it must be doing some damage to the nasal passages. I dunno.
