The Big & Dandy 2C-I Thread

2CI is pretty popular. Its the RC that I hear the most from friends about. I've never tried it because of the reports of bronchial constriction, which might suggest a possible thyroid toxicity with the free iodine.

The iodine atom stay put in the 4 position - metabolic products are from the action of MAO and one of the P450 cytopchromes (MAO removes the amino group; the P450 demethylates one of the methoxy groups).

Having a 4-iodo group will have no effect on the thyroid as thyroxine & derivatives have a 4-hydrocy-3,5-diiodo substitution pattern
 
How would you explain the bronchial constriction that a few people suffer from with this compound then?

It must have something to do with sticking an iodine in that position given that 2CB and 2CE don't produce that result. Right?
 
Yes, but it's not got anything to do with the thyroid gland. Probably some sort of mild anaphylactic reaction to it as radiopaque dyes used as contrast agents for taking x-rays containging iodine in their structure are also prone to causing similar sorts of symptoms

^ It's not PEAs that I don't trust, just the 4-halogenated 2C-X compounds. I have no urge to take 2C-B or 2C-I any more & only 2C-C very occasionally (not at all in the last year and a half). They have no real depth (for me) and just seem to produce the visual effects (what Kesey referred to as the wallpaper).

That pretty much sums up my opinion of 2C-I no depth nice eye candy at high doses but shallow. My chemistry knowledge is non-existent so I’m lost on the toxicity conversation but I didn’t like the body feel of 2C-I felt rough and a little toxic, I wouldn't trust it a high doses.
 
jus recently happend upon some of this. ordered in march, just got it, its now what... october but trust me, i'm not complaining now. Anyways, i'm looking to try some of course soon, in combination with weed at least ( weed is a necessity in my experience for trips, enhances visuals exponentially). i've done psilocybin, salvia, pills , ex , coke, no meth though... except for maybe in a cut E pill but who knows. anyways i've never done a RC before so this will be my intro to the 2c family, i've read the pihkal bible as well as countless internet sources on the shit so i consider myself semi educated on them, but what i'm looking for are some suggestions for tripping on this, advice wise as to what to do, what maybe you've found is specifically enjoyable on this, anything would be appreciated.
 
I have found the following to be very good for 2C-I activities:

  • Talking with a friend
  • Writing
  • Listening to music

I find 2C-I to be a very communicative material, clear-headed. It's not going to crush your ego at all... it's more of an ego-booster in my experience. Nice stuff though, fun and useful for some things.
 
any prefrerred method of ingestion?, i'm not afraid of insulffation, wondering about nausea
 
I've taken it orally and nasally. I don't like it very much nasally... it's a bit cracked-out feeling that way IME. If you're not afraid of it you might try rectal administration... I've not tried it with 2C-I as my supply is in an alcohol solution, but it's my favorite method with all of the other 2C-Xs as the dose is roughly halved and the side effects are lessened. And it's very fast to come on. 2C-I is a strong drug... oral ingestion is just fine.
 
the best set/setting for 2c-i seem to be more like the ideal MDMA S/S, as opposed to other more intense psychedelics...

also oral administration is suitable, rectal works but keep your trial dose low...
 
^ Depends on the dose actually, high dose 2C-I trips are nothing like MDMA and can in fact be quite psychedelic, so a caution is heeded. But yeah, overall, 2C-I is much less ego-crushing than tryptamines and many PEAs as well, so any social/fun setting is fun obviously. Also nice for artwork (writing, painting) and different sorts of aesthetic appreciation (music, etc). Watching movies can also be quite profound on this substance as it really tends to intensify emotions.

wow, that is a ridiculously long time to wait for stuff. at least you were able to order from somewhere that's still in business. a lot of these places are closing. well, anyways enjoy your 2ci will be worth the wait.

Careful.

I've accidentally IMed 25mg of 2C-I in the past (supposedly equiv to 50mg+ via oral route) and was OK (except for some HPPD symptoms that persisted for about 6 months)

I find 15-20mg of 2ci to be very recreational and fun. Actually reminds of weed, kinda feel stoned, but energetic.

But as last time I got the kidney pain, am afraid of it now.
 
I've been told there is a thread about diluting RC. I would be really interesting. Any one has the link or know hat is the best liquid to dilute 2Ci ?

Thanks.
 
[Again, yes it's against the rules, as is PMing. If you PM someone asking for sources, and they report you, you'll get a warning.]

2C-I does seem to be one of the more recreational phenethylamines, along with 2C-B. Pot goes very well with it.

One of my favorite combos is 2C-I and 2C-E in a 1:2 ratio. It also plays quite nicely with 2C-T-2. Actually, to that end, I haven't really found anything it doesn't mix well with.
