I always like to gather as much info as possible. Though I find 2C-B very enjoyable (and my last trip was downright fantastic), I could never see it taking the place of 2C-D and 2C-E...especially as a psychotherapuetic applicant. What about 2C-B makes it a better agent in your book than 2C-D and 2C-E?
Sorry it took so long to reply but i had to think about it.
For me (and a couple of my friends) 2c-b is one of the most therapeutic substabces i have ever ingested.
Better than 2c-d because im in the 2c-d=tofu club. Untill i am proved otherwise, it is just too gentle for me, i need that push into psychedlia.
And although i dont remember saying that it was better than 2c-e, as far as a therapeutic tool IME it has been. 2c-e is just too intense, my mind is being overflooded with information so fast that its hard for me grasp onto something valuable. But its been awhile since i had 2c-e, and i have had alot more psychedelic experience since then, perhaps i would react to it differently today. 2c-e is still one of my "magic half dozen."
The reason i hold 2c-b in such high regard is because i have seen whaat it is capable of.
I had a friend that was a serious alcoholic and on his way to having very serious crack cocaine problem. This friend has had a couple psychedelic experiences before with mushrooms but that is all. I told him about 2c-b and if he is open to the fact that it could help him with his problems i would give him some a guide him through the trip.
He was open to it, he believed in the potential of psychedelics but was still a bit sceptical of the fact that this might help him break an addiction.
Well needless to say, he doesnt smoke crack anymore, hasnt for just over a month. As far as alcohol goes he went from drinking almost a 30 pack a day plus some whiskey and some other garbage thrown in to just having a beer or two a night and not everynight.
And as i mentioned earlier, it has helped me aswell. I just started school again after dropping out a couple years ago. I think this was a direct effect of my very profound 2c-b trip. And each time I or someone i give 2c-b to comes down they all feel as if they have learned a powerful lesson and often times feel like a change towards the positive needs to be made in their lives.
Now that i think back on it, i think 2c-e left me feeling the same way.
I think i need to revisit 2c-e again just to be sure whether 2c-b actually is better for psychotherapy or not. But its not like this is some contest. Some may benfit more from 2c-e and 2c-d than 2c-b.
For instance i know you are a big fan of 2c-d.
i love 2c-c, even though alot of people seem to think its too gentle. At ~90mg 2c-c was anything but gentle, yet still very manageable.
Hope this helped explain why i really like 2c-b these days.
In fact im really starting to like the 2c's in general. Much more than DOx's, MDx's (except MDA, i freakin love MDA), alot of tryptamines (miprocin and LSD are exceptions, perhaps psilacetin aswell but i havent tried it yet.).
Anyway take care all.
happy trails.

Going in the hot tub soon....
