The Big & Dandy 2C-I Thread

[psilocybonaut]

I honestly think 2C-I is the BEST newcomer psychedelic, hands down. Everyone has a great fucking time....it was my first REAL hallucinogen.

 

[correctly]

second time i tried it.. also after taking a 25mg dose of 2ct7.. im beginning to find this substance rather mild lol.. first time was intense for sure..

 

[Chips]

IME I've found 2c-i to have close to no mental component.

That's strange.
2c-b, 2c-c and 2c-t-7 are no mental.
but 2c-i and 2c-e are, just different.
2c-i make me think fast and clear.

 

[Delta-9-THC]

I agree that 2c-i has little to no mental component and almost zero "mindfuck".

It is a nice clear headspace but nothing too profound. Mostly a fun drug IMO although it can be intense at times.

Maybe I need to take higher doses but I find it so stimulating that I don't know if it is worth it to do so. The come up is actually fairly uncomfortable for me. I use rectal administration(oral admin. gives me horrible nausea) and even still I find it takes 2 hours to peak. There is little I can do to alleviate the stimulation and I usually just end up pacing my house, unable to relax. Luckily it fades a bit when the real effects begin to kick in.

so, i've done some looking through this thread and saw some discussion about it but, would 2c-i be okay to take at a rave? i've taken it once before, however the dose was unknown due to only having a taste of it. i had a nice visual stimulation but that was about it since the dose was so small. also, i was wondering about how long the come up was? thanks for any input.

 

[Prea]

Come up is like 90mins in my experience (when taking it in a gelcap).

And yea it would probably be nice at a rave. Imo 18-22mg would be good for a rave.

 

[Recept]

I agree, I've always imagined it to be a great party drug, although I've never gotten around to trying it in such a setting. Around 20 mg would be the dose I'd go with for this purpose as well.

For me, 2C-I takes somewhere around 60-90 minutes to reach peak effects when taken orally, in a solution. I haven't taken it in a gelcap, I imagine it would take longer that way.

 

[Shambles]

I'd also say that 2C-I makes a great party drug. Other than 2C-B, it's the only "RC" that has made any impact on the party scene around here and with good reason - it's generally good, sparkly, speedy, fun

I've done it up to 40mg and loved it at that dose. The body load was actually less disturbing for me at higher dosages

This intrigues me, Recept. I noticed the same thing with Mephedrone - horribly overstimulating at low-doses but really calm and peaceful once you get over a certain critical amount. The overstimulation is what has kept my 2C-I dosing reasonably low. The largest dose I've had so far is around 22mg plugged, so around 40mg or so oral equivalent, I suppose.

Oddly enough, I recently went for 16mg (plugged) for a light experience the other night looking and got a lot more than I was expecting with my newfound low-tolerance. It was bordering on being uncomfortably overstimulating at times but, now you come to mention it, I have noticed less pushiness at slightly higher doses... Intriguing... further research required, methinks

Also, just like to add that vaping 2C-I is a really bad idea. Works a treat but seriously nasty on the chest. Can't be good for ya

 

[Prea]

Yea I'd be concerned about it being cancerous when ingested that way

 

[alextc]

ah! thanks for the responses.

yeah, it's gonna be in gel cap form around 20mg. so yay! :D

 

[Recept]

^^^ I've wondered that as well, Shambles, that for some substances the overstimulation aspect seems to decrease at higher doses, and 2C-I seems to be one of these drugs IME. Perhaps it's simply because as the psychedelic effects increase, we tend to notice the trivial side-effects less, and cannot be bothered with such fiddling matters

So anyway, yeah, I'd definitely recommend trying it at higher doses. 2C-I is a delight at full blast

 

[alextc]

i'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out next friday, if i take 2c-i this saturday will it interfere with anything? oh and how long does it stay in your system? thanks!

 

[Recept]

^^^^ @ashesofman: By last weekend, do you mean the one that just ended? If so, you probably have some tolerance at work, which would explain why 25mg is mild for you today.

^^^ @alextc: No worries with regards to wisdom teeth removal. And 2C-I should be out of your system within 12 hours of ingestion.

Edit: Damn, you guys are so much faster than me. These replies were directed to several posts above mine.

Also, I agree with the comments regarding the dose differences. Phenethylamines (at least of the 2C-x and DOx series) seem to have quite steep dose/response curves, so little difference in dosage can mean quite a lot in terms of quantitative intensity of effects. I guess you need to do a lot more fine-tuning to find your happy medium, ahesofman

 

[alextc]

ah, awesome. thanks!!

 

[delphium]

Yes, but what we're saying is that those 5mg increments are not a sufficient resolution to determine said sweet spot.

Frankly, anything over 30mg for me is a total waste. Anything under 15mg or so is a bit underwhelming. There is a complex ramp up of effects through this range.

Instead of 7 datapoints from 10 to 60 mg, try 7 datapoints from 15 to 30 mg... it's not the number of readings that's the issue, it's the fidelity.

Precisely.

It's also worth mentioning that this one has been correlated with pretty bad HPPD symptoms. While it's very much hypothesis, I could certainly see behemoth doses like 60 mg leading to some noticeable vision issues. I could also see doing such colossal doses multiple times over the course of a week really blowing those issues out of proportion. Caution is paramount, word?

I tried 20mg of 2c-i orally for the first time 2 days ago.

Here's my thoughts as an LSD and mushrooms user:

As a phenethylamine with speedy characteristics I found the drug more fun and comfortable than any Dox, sometimes the visuals were a bit similar to Dox in the "cartoony looking room" way. The visuals also had some of the aspects of LSD, for instance when I starred at some leaves they were doing that chaotic "LSD dance", that's what I call it because the patterns are so calculated and mathematical looking and are hypnotizing you with their magic.

Another thing I noticed with 2c-I is that it comes in waves, sometimes I thought all I was feeling was a body high and I couldn't summon visuals and then suddenly out of nowhere was a surge of visuals that took over my complete vision. I didn't find it scary, there wasn't a mindfuck and besides I was having a blast laughing about everything in a comical way.

I could sometimes control some wicked persian-like patterns and they were moving rapidly with that LSD-character. But unlike LSD, not everything moves/morpgs/spins. Looking at walls didn't really do much, I mostly got visuals in places where there was already natural patterning or stimulation to look at such as lights, grass patterns, pictures ect.

2c-i is no replacement for LSD or MDMA but it's interesting that this drug gives you reminders of both drugs.

The body load wasn't that bad, I've tried DOB, DOI and DOM and I have to say 2c-i was enjoyable even with the load because I was able to focus on the trip instead of the aches much like good LSD.

The body load consisted mostly of muscles feeling kinda tense, slight jaw clench, some vasoconstriction but nothing too severe.

2c-i is fun, I don't know if I want to try it again I'd rather try 2c-e or something with a more psychedelic journey.

2c-i is a sensory enhancer, a good tool for analyzing, fun and neat visuals without the mindfuck, slight euphoria and good mood...but LSD does that much better in more ways. I prefer the LSD mindfuck and insight and the way that I can conjure the experience and do things with it.

Went to an outdoor psy trance music festival this past weekend. Took 15mg of 2ci on first night. Hated the experience, my body felt heavy and I had to try to force myself to dance but couldn't, my clothing felt like it was made out of lead and was weighing me down.

It wasn't my first time I tried 2ci, I had no 'body load' but I couldnt dance on it. I also coudnt let go, felt like people are watching me and was a bit embarrassed about my dancing. Which isnt like me I love to dance.

Second night took acid for the first time, took 2 hits, and WOAH. I have never in my life could have guessed that LSD can give you so much energy. This was on par with taking amphetamines, what a truly awesome psychedelic, so light and transparent, not a single cramp. Amazing amazing amazing, danced the night away in the rain. Dr Albert Hofmann, thank you for one of the best nights in my life.

Yea 2c-i is not good for dancing, I find psy-trance doesn't work that well with it either. It comes in waves and it's not a true psychedelic so music just doesn't flow as it would on LSD or even Dox. I find DOx are not as fun but music is definetly appealing on them.

I danced on Dox one time and I couldn't completely let go, I bet 2c-e and LSD are probably the best for this next to a light dose of mushrooms(for energy).

Is it against bluelight rules to post a website(has to do with 2c-i) to see if it's legitimate/other people have purchased from it? I looked.. either not hard enough, or the rule isn't there.

 

[Bardeaux]

^ Yeah that is against bluelight rules
