I can't believe you compared 2cc to 2cb like that. From my experience, 2cb blows 2cc (and 2ci) out of the water. 2ci is nice in that it is a deep, complex experience, but for me it lacks the euphoria that 2cb brings (call that shallow if you want). As for 2cc, it seemed very mundane. The same paisley-shaped swirls in the vision every time, and some minor push to reflection, akin to shrooms though I'd say not even that deep.
I think you and I agree on comparisons between 2C-B and 2C-I. 2C-B is the more euphoric, "fun" of the two. 2C-I is a much more introspective experience with less emphasis on visuals and euphoria. At least for me.
As far as 2C-C and 2C-B comparisons, 2C-C is much more visual than 2C-I (for me) and those visuals look very similar to 2C-B visuals. I think 2C-C is just like 2C-B as far as introspection goes...it's there but you have to look for it. Insights don't come as easily for me with 2C-B and 2C-C as they do with 2C-I. They both take some working with (well they did for me) to be able to use them as introspective tools in the same way that 2C-E and 2C-I are useful for.
I'll agree that 2C-C is not euphoric like 2C-B, and prolly it's less euphoric than 2C-I as well. As I said in my report which is at erowid...2C-C is a nice gentle psychedelic that you can push in any direction you want. That's what I love about it. That, and it is so easy on the body. I don't think it's mundane, but then I think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I definitely can't say though that 2C-B blows 2C-I out of the water because I just find it too different to really be compared to 2C-B. There are surface similarities but that's as far as it goes. To me it's comparing apples to oranges. In my brain, 2C-C definitely resembles 2C-B more than 2C-I does. I like to call 2C-C, "2C-B lite." Maybe it's the diet version.
In the end, I may be best for us all not to compare these chemicals at all. They each are unique and they should each be appreciated for what they are. Not for how much they are like or not like a different chemical.
