The Big & Dandy 2C-I Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
ive experienced hppd with 2c-i but its nothing that lasts.

Sometimes my visuals would last into the next day. The colors would look moore saturated and there would be mild patterning.

This was from using 2c-i multiple times a week though.
After a couple months of not using 2c-i all symptoms disappeared.

So occasional use shouldn't cause these symptoms? Also, if 2C-I use was related to many HPPD cases, wouldnt there be more information and caution toward the substance rather than what is advertised now about it? (ex. MDMA's toxicity)
 
Yeah, occasional use shouldn't pose any problems. It's when you start using it too often that the symptoms begin to manifest, however they seem to dissipate after a period of abstinence IME.

HAs there been any update on this substance and HPPD? I just finished reading the first several pages and that was a big concern. Also, there is still an HPPD thread up and most people who claim to have symptoms have used 2c-i.


Chemical sounds very interesting but the HPPD scares me away, i wouldnt want to give this to myself and especially not someone I love if it may cuase problems :(

Based on what I've read people seem to get hppd symptoms when they use it too often. I keep my use down to no more than once a month and I've never had any hppd issues what so ever.
 
I have indulged for nearly 20 years guessing at 40 weekends a year and everyone with some form of mdma. going way back to doves brown biscuits dennis the menace caps etc and enjoyed every f...... last one of them, i can honestly say i really like my e! with the recent shortage i tried some (just to keep me from going totally insane) 2C-i and now had it 3 times and I gotta say I LIKE ! all 3 times good but all 3 different, first 2 were in the day, 1 at the beach at blackpool the other in the house with the music on. both were top stuff and both had halluciagenic kick to them, the last time i went out to a some town centre funky type bars and I liked it the most top shit, smoked a bit of charlie while out and it was just intense like a peak for 2/3 hours ... recommended cant wait to try it with some mdma crytrals and even better in a real deal techno joint of a club / rave. for the cost of it and the dose you need INVEST while you can

Also HPPD does not seem to happen to everyone. I tripped, no joke, about 4 times a week all through 2006 and 2007, and I have never a day in my life had any symptoms I would call HPPD. Not to suggest you should do that. I now trip about once a week, on the weekend, and I likewise have no issues. I have used 2C-I quite a bit. I do agree that 2C-I feels a bit different than the other 2C-Xs... I feel like it's more present physically in my body and brain or something.
 
Yeah, I forgot to mention that it's highly individual.

Personally, I've had my share of periods of frequent tripping, both on 2C-I and other psychedelics, but the only drug that really seemed to show hints of HPPD for me was 2C-I. Although the time I used it most frequently coincided with my 44mg 2C-T-7 trip (the most visually intense experience of my life to date), after which it took 3 months for the residual visuals I was experiencing when sober to fade (I took a long break from tripping), so that might have had something to do with it. 2C-I has always felt somewhat different than other psychedelics in that aspect for me, however.
 
My friends and I have found that we all get residual visuals from the first use of 2C-I, but not the same as HPPD.

Here's how it worked for me:

1st trip - I only took enough to get spider web effects in the dark. It never went away (1.5 years now?), but is lessening and can only be seen in very dark conditions

2nd trip - Took enough to get persian carpet patterns on popcorn ceilings. That stayed with me only when I zoned out for a little while and stared at ceilings until my 3rd 2C-I trip.

3rd trip - Took a little more and got flowing visuals when I relaxed on most things. This increased my afterwards visuals to the same level on some surfaces when I zoned out for a while.

This lasted for about 1 year exactly. The first 7 months it was exactly the same at all times, then suddenly it started dropping off and by 1 year in I couldn't see them at all anymore.

My friends who took 2C-I experienced almost the exact same thing. None were bothered by it, as it only affected us when we zoned out and it was very pretty. I almost miss it.

Here are some interesting things though, I took 2C-E twice before at much higher levels and experienced no lasting visuals. I took 2C-C at a strong level about 6 months into my recovery period and it didn't affect my 2C-I residuals at all. This makes me think that 2C-I is unique in this regard.

I now have slight HPPD visuals including static, floaters, etc, and they are were nothing like the 2C-I residuals. They are much more annoying, not beautiful, and don't take a while of zoning out to appear (they are constant). They also included mental effects, which the 2C-I visuals didn't. My 2C-I visuals are completely gone.

I believe that while 2C-I may be able to cause HPPD as all other psychs can, it also has a special 2C-I residual visuals effect that is different from from standard HPPD. It fades within a year of non 2C-I use and is not effected by other 2Cs.

Anyway, that's just what my small study of four people (my friends and I) have found.

Hope this helps someone!

Thank you for the Information! Greatly appreciated :)
 
True, it was a lot. It didn't seem like the 3rd and 4th doses were very effective. The 2nd dose brought the effects to a maximum, while the 3rd just seemed to keep them near that level for a little longer. The 4th dose just slowed the descent really. At the peak, the visuals were very intense, with geometric patterns flowing across my ceiling and the carpet breathing beneath my feet and such. Very fun. Walking around was a bit of a challenge at that point.
 
Screw the HPPD. I am done screwed so oh well. Have tried a couple RC's but not 2ci. B is really cool. Just wish that my horizons could be expanded a bit more;). RC's are fun
 
is it possible that all halogenated 2C-X compounds are dangerous in respect to HPPD? I've tripped twice with 2C-C (huge doses) and then with 2C-B, always around two months in between. yet with each of the three trips, the after effects in changed perception got longer... worries me a bit...
 
I think that all of the 2Cs do have the ability to cause their weird lingering visuals, but 2C-I is the worst. At least it was worse for me than 2C-C and 2C-E.
 
SO guys.........

How does 2c-i compare to 2c-b?

I've only tried 2c-b and I'm on the fence about 2c-i...
 
^2C-B could be called slightly "mellower" then 2C-I....if that helps :) 2C-I is/can be very stimulating...That said, so can 2C-B so....
 
Overall, I find 2C-I's energy vibe more compelling - but compared to say 2C-T-7 which also has a stronger current it is more of a speedy rush and as such less psychedelically peaceful although there is a sense of beauty seemingly common to all halogenated 2Cs...
 
2ci is more sharp than 2cb, more rational too in this weird way. 2cb is milder, more lush and gentle. I enjoy them both.

About the 2ci day after persistent visual thing: I always feel kind of "eye-y" the day after--like my retinas are kind of over-stimulated feeling.
 
I haven't noticed persisting visuals, but I feel like crap the day after taking 2C-I. I end up feeling worn out mentally and physically. I've taken it twice, and it will be a long time before I take it again. My life responsibilities are too demanding right now.
