The Big & Dandy 2C-I Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
I love 2ci, it's probably one of my favorite drugs--definitely one of my most fave phens. The visual aspect is very recreational, I describe it as "christmassy" as if everything were sparkling and draped with tinsel. It also causes a raised quilted paisley pattern overlay on white walls and ceilings and sometimes it seems to be doing nothing at all until I look closely at an object and realize that it's become very bright and intricately detailed. All the while I can carry on a normal conversation and navigate public transit. The headaches can suck, but if I take care to eat and drink well and perhaps take an analgesic towards the end of the trip it's fairly mitigated.

I have found 2ci to be introspective, but only as much as most psychedelics are introspective by making you slow down and appreciate or examine things, including yourself. 2ci is far better for facilitating inter-subjective communication, although it could be made to enable introspection and if there's any issues or problems that you're hiding from yourself then like all psychedelics 2ci may bring them to the fore--but not with as much inexorability as something like mushrooms. Unlike mushrooms, on 2ci I find it possible to push things out of my mind if I don't want to think about them. Maybe that's why I like it so much, no mandatory torturous self-examination period required.
 
i just felt that compared to 2C-T-7, 2C-B, 2C-T-21 the visuals were much more intense .. i probably need to try it again before judging it tho
 
20 mgs of 2C-I administered at a night of live performance by Woolfy and a DJ Set by Paul T was an amazing trip. 2C-I doesn't chip away at your ego and yet you get all the psychedelia of a classic psychedelic with its very own unique twist (typical of different psychedelics.. so many flavors!! :) ). This translated to a +++ trip where I laughed and smiled my way through endless hours of transcendentant tunes. What more can one ask for, right?!

I definitely think 2C-I's lack of ego suppression translates into a really fun party sort of atmosphere around my head which I have liked very much so far. Let's see what the future hold!
 
It's interesting how 2c-i's effects seem to vary quite a bit from person to person. Especially with visuals. Some people report amazing visuals, others say they don't find it to be very visual at all.

2c-i was the first psychadelic that I really had, so it holds a special place to me. I haven't really done anything else before or after taking it around easter this year. (before that it was lsa, dxm, 2 low dob doses - none of which i found to be worth while)

I took it alone and ingested around 18-20mg

Little/no body load other than some minor jaw clenching. Quite introspective, but not in a forceful way. Allowed me to assess certain things about my life in particular, but felt comfortable and in control of my thoughts. Thoughts flowed extremely well and were very clear.

Techno music went very well with it. Made everything very humorous. Walking felt quite weird. Taking a walk with my dog around the neighborhood on a beautiful spring morning was amazing. I walked over to a lake nearby and it looked marvelous.

Visuals were somewhat minimal but interesting. Everything had a shimmer/shine to it. I saw rainbow type of colors on a lot of things. Minor shifting of objects. A lot of movement in my peripheral vision during the peak.

Peak was only 2-3 hours. Overall experience maybe 6hrs, but it was on an empty stomach.

I also felt amazing euphoria and happiness, but not like what you get on bud or opiates. What I read in an erowid report described it quite nicely.
To call it ‘euphoria’ is almost insulting. Euphoria is the warm glow you get with opiates. This was not euphoria, it was universal cosmic bliss. This feeling had meaning. It was not drug-induced happiness. I literally did not know what to do with it all. All joys and pleasures I have ever conceived of paled in comparison to this.

I have 2 more 25mg doses which I plan on taking over the summer. One in about 2 weeks.

Also, regarding 2c-i and hppd. The effects (both visual and mental) were completely gone 6 hours after ingestion for me. Didn't even have visual movement later in the day. It seems like most people who report hppd like symptoms with 2c-i are people who have used it fairly often in a relatively short amount of time. Which is why I plan on only doing it once every couple of months, if that.

strange dissociative feeling on 2ci ?

The last time I took 2ci I got a strange and not pleasant dissociative feeling - I guess I've never actually taken a real dissociative like K or salvia, but this is how I imagine a bad dissociative experience to be: unable to really think straight or concentrate on anything, not the gleeful absorption I usually get. Repeated feeling of general physical wooziness, a little bit like the woozy buzz I get from tobacco when I smoke a lot (I"m not a regular smoker) but more body-heavy and less energetic.
:|

I was on ~20mg; no other drugs (not even weed). I've taken it several times before, same batch, same scale. This feeling has never happened to me before tripping on this or anything else (shrooms/acid). Only difference was I'd put the powder in a capsule to travel with it. Given the fact it was the same stuff, I guess the difference was with me, physically or mentally. It was incredibly hot, crowded and chaotic since I was at the front at a 50,000 person concert (Radiohead - amaaazing! and this made the fact that I couldn't concentrate or think straight for a chunk of it all the worse!). A friend of mine also at the concert had a similar dissociative experience; it was his first time trying 2ci and he was on ~15mg.

Anyway, I guess just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience tripping - can being overly hot or tired or hungry do this? I was pretty annoyed it screwed up my trip - I mean, it wasn't hugely bad in itself, just sucked since seeing Radiohead is rare and special.
 
dude-- seeing radiohead! BADASSSS i want to go to one of their shows.

sorry to hear the drugs fuck people up. happens :/
 
I have only felt this way on larger doses of 2cb, i don't know if it is quite how you described it but definitely very dissociative. I have heard from trip reports and friends that 2ci also produces this feeling sometimes.
 
I have felt this feeling (or maybe the same one anyway) on 2C-I several times. It felt like I was standing behind myself, and curiously, it also felt like I had another version of me, upside down, a mirror version of me attached by the top of the head to my head. It felt very salvia-like. It was not entirely pleasant although not exactly unpleasant either, just weird and powerful.

This feeling only lasted a short time though, but would come in spurts. Maybe it's not the same feeling, but I thought I'd share my experience as I have also received a strange dissociative feeling from 2C-I.
 
interesting; I didn't realise that sometimes could happen. xorkoth: yeah i think if i'd been in a different setting it would have been ok; I could just have sat down and drifted, but rammed up next to thousands of drunk Mancunians with the best band in existence playing it was disconcerting. still, interesting to hear other people's similar experiences. I think for me it could well have been lack of sleep or water.

re: radiohead - i know!! they are incredible. they are still touring the US and I think other places too this summer; I'm hoping to see them again, this time maybe less fucked up... or more hydrated. :D
 
2c-i comeup

Hi guys,

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.. But how long does 2c-i usually take to comeup? Me and a group of mates had it at like 9pm which was a good 3 hours ago.

I know the stuff is good because i had some out of the same batch around 2 week's ago. it only took 30 minutes to come up then?

Does heat destroy 2c-i? ..kinda bored to be honest :p

Anyway, thanks guys :D
 
Yea you should come up within 1:30-2hrs at the most. Whenever i've taken it on an empty stomach it only takes a little over an hour.
 
we had it on a full stomach..

it has probably degraded then, this particular sample was kept in my laptop bag which was exposed to a bit of heat :(
 
^ You should invest in something to keep all your substances in so that they are safe from heat and other potentially degrading concerns.

Taking it on a full stomach will also affect the come-up, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the problem.
 
yea, i wouldnt rule out the full stomach thing yet. I have known a chick that took 4 1/2 hrs to comeup because she ate RIGHT after taking 2c-i.
