The Big & Dandy 2C-I Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
What do you mean by the best way? In terms of route of administration, I definitely recommend oral dosing, at least for your first encounter. If you're into rectal administration, I hear good things about that with 2Cs, but I have no firsthand experience there.

2CI is a pretty mellow psychedelic. I would keep the dose low (15-20mg) for your first try, as some people find the stimulation unpleasant at higher doses. You should take it in a comfortable setting, and try to make sure you won't have any stressful situations to deal with, like having to interact with someone you want/need to hide your drug use from.

If you smoke pot, most people find it goes very well with psychedelics, including 2CI. You might want to hold off for the first couple hours; smoking can intensify the trip a lot and if you don't want that to happen, it can be unpleasant and anxiety-provoking. If you're comfortable where you are and wouldn't mind things getting a little more intense, though, nothing beats a nice bowl.

Other than that, all the general advice for first time trippers you can find pretty much applies. Listening to music, drawing and other creative activities, or just wandering around outside are popular trip activities. Some people enjoy watching movies, TV shows, playing video games, etc.; others have no interest in such things while tripping. Likewise, some people *love* to read a good book while tripping and others find that pretty much impossible. Go with the flow, don't try to force yourself to follow some plan of activities or whatnot if it doesn't seem enjoyable at the time, and you should have a great time.

The two main negatives most people get from 2CI are excessive stimulation (especially if you're tired and want to sleep - it can take a couple hours after you're mostly down to be able to fall asleep without great difficulty) and nausea (some people get this worse than others; for me it's mostly just for the come up and I usually feel great by a couple hours in).
 
lets say i had a baggie of 2c-i with green prints on it, and i licked my finger and dabbed it in the inside of the baggie, but not the actual powder itself, just to get a taste, and then closed it up back into storage, could that turn your product yellow?
 
I didn't like 2C-I at all. I can't remember how much I ordered, 250mg or 500mg, but I took all of it at varying doses and not once did I find it that worthwhile. I tried both lowish doses (according to Shulgin's recommendations) and higher doses, and always found that there is an uncomfortable bodyload, little mental psychedelia or thought process widening, and the only worthwhile element are the visuals, which come quite close to LSD.
I don't want to feel slightly sick and stare at pretty shapes - which were admittedly very pretty - all day. Cannabis lessens the bodyload and increases the psychedelia, but still not a worthwhile substance in my book, and I would call it a stimulant/hallucinogen rather than a psychedelic.

Also, I did not feel like partying on this at ALL. Unlike other psychedelics I have tried, under this substance all I wanted to do was lie down and stretch - not move around, definitely not dance.

I didn't like it much either and I had it at varying doses. The one time I really liked it was combined with ketamine. Any other time I found it underwhelming. Highest dose was only 35mg oral, to be fair. However, it didn't feel worth the scatty physical feelings to push any higher.
 
I can see why some people say 2ci is party stuff. Nonetheless it can be pretty intense, and shouldn't be thought of as a toy the way mdma is by many. First time snorting may be too much for some, visually and with the body energy (I like to call it the flutters), but once the peak levels off, its all good. I feel like 2ce is a more rewarding substance, but 2ci can be useful, and I feel it has more recreational potential. In some ways coming up on 2ci reminds me of being blown away on shrooms, but overall really they have less in common than they do in common. With the lights off, the visuals sometimes remind me of coming on to DMT, before you leave the room. If I remember correctly, this stuff goes very well on a mild dose of mdma, or even on mdma and mushrooms.

Hey, I just got 100mg of 2c-i in a little baggie. There is a very small amount of powder, less than i anticipated. My question is how would i go about putting this into a form that can be taken orally? I've read that i should measure out 100ml of distilled water and dissolve the 100mg into the 100ml. That way it is 1mg/1ml. Does distilled water work well?
 
^ The Liquid Measurement thread

Water (distilled or otherwise) is fine to use but adding alcohol would be better for medium-long term storage. I'd suggest using vodka or similar rather than plain water to avoid bacteria. 2C-I can be a bit fiddly to get to go into solution with plain, cold water but adding gentle heat (or shaking/stirring vigorously) should do the trick :)
 
i just started the experiment 15min ago and still at baseline. the dose was 15-16mg..

30 min and i feel somthing but i am starting to think maybe the scale is not correct and the experiment is a waste. Lets give it some more time. this is a +/-

2.15 hour
over two hours into this and im not impressed, it must mean that i only took 10mg. I see visuals but nothing serious, i can see faint patterns on the white back light on the screen. But i can barally see the letters moving. this would be a ++ i notice somthing but if i had to go to work i could.

ill keep you updated.

3.5 hours into it

notice visuals but not intense and in your face type, but can see patterns if i try with eyes open or closed. I notice large patterns on my rug . notice eye wiggles like the come up on E.

as soon as decent visuals started it ended.. must have taken less than 15mg.

i need to research this more.. over all i can see potential

has anyone else noticed stomach pain on this substance? the past two times I have taken it (at 15 and 18 mg) starting at the 5 hour mark my stomach feels as if it's full of broken glass. the pain is quite extreme at times. I was at a Phish show last night on 15 mg, and I was in a lot of pain during the second set. drinking water and eating a snickers did not help.

Click to expand...

You need to eat at least 6 snickers for it to help.

Seriously though, I do have stomach discomfort with 2C-I (2C-E as well), though I wouldn't call it real "pain". Insufflating (vs eating) helps for me.
 
2ci split over two doses?

Done 15-18mg caps maybe twelve or more times in the last eyar... always good.

Today I find myself with two caps, each are 16mg and an 11mg.

Thinking of doing both tonight.

Am I better doing the smaller one first or bigger one

...and how far apart would be ideal?
 
I would take the 16mg first if it were me. Then I wouldnt wait any longer than 3-4 hours to take the 11mg.

If you've experienced with 2C-I you could always take all 27 mg :)

How much have you taken at once before? Just one 15-18mg cap?
 
27mg is physically safe - people have dosed far higher with no obvious problems - but it's more than I would personally wish to take as I find it far too overstimulating. That's just me though and others enjoy it. If you are one of those you should be okay but it is quite a jump from 15-18mg all the way up to 27mg if you've never tried any doses in between.

If you do split the dose I would go with the larger one first. Some find redosing adds little but it's worked for me whenever I've tried it with 2C-x. I generally redose to extend duration rather than intensify effects though - especially with something like 2C-I.
 
Never more than 18mg in one go...

Ive done the 18mg cap with a 2cb on top, coming down off shrooms.

Ive also not too long ago done 4acodmt whist still up on 2ci.

So I've some experience of higher levels though split among more than one drug



On the plus side there will be some awesome techno and dnb at the place I am going to, though ridiculously large sound systems, so I can loose myself in the music if needs be.
 
I think i will do the bigger one orally, then when it starts to wear off, empty out and insuffate the smaller one.
