Did 25mg of 2C-i the other day. It was quite a powerfull trip compared to 20mg. I didn't expect such a powerfull trip, but it was all wonderfull and I enjoyed every single bit of it. Felt really refreshed on the comedown and the rest of the afternoon, but had terrible hangovers the next day. Felt kind of depressed and had the worst headache. It only latest for a day though.
It's strange, I haven't had any hangovers at >20mg, but maybe that's normal when you dose <20mg?
Next time I will try 22mg, and hopefully no hangovers.

2c-I tends to burn me out and give me worse headaches and mental cloudiness than pretty much any other psych I have tried.
Definitely not my favorite although it can be fun.

finally added 2ci to my list of psychs, specifically to my list of 2c's(2cb, 2cc, 2cd, 2ce, 2ci, 2ct7)
Tried 22mg and I was honestly not that impressed. The come up was long, with more nausea than 2ce. It also gave me a headache worse than 2ct7 did. I liked the energy that came along with it, but I was expecting a lot more out of the visuals. Pretty disappointing overall, but may consider a 25mg dose sometime in the future.

So I'm not the only one overly unimpressed with 2C-I! A few years ago it seemed to be regarded as an amazing psychedelic, somewhere in between MDMA and LSD. I never found it to be the case. Out of the 2C class I have only tried 2C-B and 2C-T-7 once each, and I already can tell they are much better than 2C-I for my tastes. If I'm feeling up to it, I recently came across 2C-E, and I may decide to try it for my first time tomorrow. I have a feeling it will be even better than 2C-B and 2C-T-7, further inhibiting me from ever wanting to bother with 2C-I again!
For all those getting headaches towards the tail end/after the trip, take two advil and it will go away with ease
22mg is weak. 25mg is nice, but it's still nothing overwhelming. 30mg is where it really gets crazy. 25mg is nice though cuz it has decent visuals, and not too much bodyload. 30mg is insane visuals, seeing patterns in everything, lots of moving in your peripheral vision, however the body load is a bit annoying. The headspace on 30mg is much more intense also (its not overwhelming or anything, just a lot stranger)
So for anyone who thinks 2c-i is dissapointing, take 30mg and get back to me about being unimpressed
I only did 2ce twice, at 12 and 15mg, and didn't like it at all. It's waay too neutral/non-euphoric to be enjoyable for me (so i never bothered going higher). 2c-i is extremely visual at the right dose, plenty euphoric, and pretty fun. Only negatives are stimulation. Also some bodyload/nausea, but those come with any 2cx.
NOTE: I would strongly advise against doing 30mg until you've had experience with lower doses first.

I only get hangovers when I trip at night and don't get much sleep. I find tripping early in the morning to be the best, because then you come down in the middle of the day, and then get a good night of sleep, and wake up the next morning feeling refreshed.Did 25mg of 2C-i the other day.

I've had a lot of experience with 2C-I, its the only 2C chemical I have a lot of experience with as it was the only one available for me, and I have taken a wide range of doses, from 20 mg to 45 mg. For some reason I never got great visuals or much euphoria or even a body-load at high doses of 2C-I. It definitely was good stuff as people taking less than me, around 30 mg, sometimes had strong visuals and nausea and probably would have been better off with a smaller dose. I think I must have a natural tolerance to 2C-I. It was fun for a social high where I could be at a party or festival, but never overly impressive. Maybe I'd enjoy it with a massive amount, but I don't feel comfortable pushing a chemical too far past the recommended dose, so I'm better off with others instead.
I'm glad you enjoy 2C-I though! As the saying goes Your Mileage May Vary.
When I took around 25 mg of 2C-T-7, I was blown away with amazing visuals, so we'll see how the 2C-E goes!

Try a crushed up BZP-laden transformer head piperizine roll. Probably one of the more painful things I've done in the last few years.
As for 2C-I, at 20mg it took a long time to hit. At first the energy and overall feelings were awesome and the visuals weren't too disappointing (though they did become monotonous). However, after about the first hour it quickly turned into a very annoying experience that left my stomach feeling empty and coated with bile which in turn had me wanting to throw up every ten minutes. The headspace was very shallow and at times just kind of confusing. The other major downside is that it left me stimulated and unable to sleep for a good 18 hours after dosing. I've slept easier 10 hours after dosing some acid.
Overall I'd give 2C-I a thumbs down in my book, it apparently doesn't agree with my body chemistry all too well.
So for anyone who thinks 2c-i is dissapointing, take 30mg and get back to me about being unimpressed
I'd love to do that if I didn't think that 30mg would just make the toilet I'm spending my night over bend and warp a little more.

Alright, so I had weird experience with 2C-I the other day. Perhaps someone here can help me understand exactly what happened to me.
35mg dose.
As usual, about 2hrs in I was able to 'control' my visual field by snapping in and out of whatever hallucination I found myself drifting into. However, if I did not actively fight these hallucinations, my eyes literally (as reported by multiple people) woulpull in opposite directions both horizontally and vertically. Sometimes, one would dip up and down while the other remained steady.
The odd eye movements were accompanied by an ever increasing buzzing noise in my head. With eyes closed, I feared my eyes would roll into my head so I refrained from doing it for any sustained period.
Is this in any way normal?

^Were you experiencing any nystagmus ?
35mg is a pretty hefty dose, btw. I start to notice all sorts of weird body reactions when I push my 2c-i dose too high, I think diminishing returns start to set in pretty quickly above about 22mg.

Spot on.
I'm still intrigued by the fact that my visuals reacted in sync with the involuntary eye movements. As my eyes moved farther apart, reality melted away and the buzzing in my head got louder and louder until it felt physically uncomfortable to go any further.

I will agree that the dose is certainly a bit excessive. Not something I plan on repeating, although I did feel it was in some way necessary to break the 25mg barrier at some point. No regrets but I have no intention of repeating that dosage. Been there, done that

Coming down from my first 2C-* experience now. I didn't keep a detailed trip log, but FWIW, here's the shorthand:
Dosed at 10PM, having eaten only a light meal at 7 all day. 20mg 2C-I dissolved in 1mL ethanol, which was in turn diluted in some purified water. Began coming up rapidly by about t+0h30. Mild nausea early on, which gradually faded as the trip took off.
By t+1h30 or so, I was at a solid +++ and remained there for about 4 hours before coming down over another couple hours. Very enjoyable body high resembling that I get from the 'classic psychedelics' (LSD and LSAs, psiloc(yb)in, mescaline), although I can certainly see where comparisons to MDMA come from. I would strongly caution against thinking of this as 'RC ecstasy', though; along with a vaguely MDMA-like body high comes a full on psychedelic PEA.
Visuals consisted mainly of the usual PEA distortions and patterning - plain surfaces such as walls became elaborate tapestries, objects in peripheral vision became more and more distorted, etc. Perspective tricks, blurring / seeing double and color shifts were all quite common. I didn't explore the CEV space too deeply this time around, but my brief experiments with closed-eye meditation revealed that things could certainly get much weirder if I wanted them to. Sticking to a more tangible connection to reality, I find music to be quite enhanced, perhaps rivaling even LSD in this regard. At points, I am tempted to label the peak experience a ++++, but, at this dose at least, 2C-I seemed to leave me somewhat aware and in control.
As for cannabis. I am a daily smoker with a fairly high tolerance to THC, and I smoked earlier in the day before dosing. By the time I started thinking about smoking to quell nausea on the come-up, I was on a rocket ride to +++. Once I got there, smoking was comparable to other psychedelics for me: definitely positive, intensified the visual aspect of the trip significantly while allowing me to transition from the blissful mindfuck of the initial peak to a more stable, familiar mental state to enjoy the rest of the trip.
It's now t+11h. The lingering headache and stimulation are a bit annoying, but dosing at night and consuming caffeine throughout probably added to those issues. 2 Advil seem to be combating the headache well enough, and I can probably drift off to sleep when I choose at this point, which will probably be shortly after this post (which did not end up being nearly as brief as anticipated... such is the nature of trip report posts, I suppose).

hello I'm new to this forum because I have never tried psychedelics before, but I'm coming up on my first psychedelic drug now, and it's 2c-i (~15mg). I'll update if anything interesting happens :D

A few more notes following further 'testing':
Repeated use with only a few days between doses does not seem to develop any particularly steep tolerance response. The body high was perhaps a bit less intense on later trips, but the intensity of the experience overall was quite similar.
This has been one of the more consistent psychedelics for me thus far. The chronology of effects is quite consistent: a somewhat uncomfortable stimulation on the come up, with visual distortions rapidly following onset of mental effects, a very enjoyable plateau lasting 4-5 hours, then a gradual comedown, with the stimulant and body high effects lasting longest. As with all psychedelics I've tried, cannabis combines quite nicely to potentiate the trip, but it is much harder to notice the body high of cannabis or gauge my degree of cannabis intoxication. As such, it is easy to smoke excessively if I do not consciously mete out doses. Perhaps it is because I have not pushed the dose higher, but I have found 2C-I to be less confusing or overwhelming than the tryptamines I've had the most experience with. It's definitely securing its place as one of my favourite compounds.

A friend of mine reported a similar lack of tolerance, though he was taking small doses. I have yet to try dosing consecutive days.
It seems like phenethylamines have a less pronounced tolerance effect than tryptamines, though i see people on the forums talking about a long-term tolerance to the visual aspect as a result of heavy use.

Tolerance builds pretty slow, but it's still an issue.
I have tripped 3 nights in a row on 2C-I with consistent doses and it was still fully psychedelic, I just got bored of the shallow nature of the trip, making the later nights less fun or profound.
That being said, I do have a long term to permanent tolerance to 2C-I from binges like these, seperated high doses, and a pretty high number of trials.

I hardly got anything worth while from 25mg. Just some euphoria, stimulant, and intense body load on the come up. Going up from 25mg I realize I'll be hitting more and more body load, but my question is, is it worth while to try and go higher to achieve visuals and some sort of mental trip?

WTF 2c-i does not burn!
Unless i have just snorted such ridiculous quantities of things in my life.
I will admit that it has a Fairly Strong Alkaline sensation in the throat during the drip.
but i have not had a burning nose from this stuff.
I find that it is just about as deep as MDMA. That is saying alot, because MDMA isn't really all that deep. I enjoy the visuals, i find them cartoonish and colorful.
This stuff is excellent of an evening of hanging out with friends and watching movies.
I noticed no great revelation or journey to the heart of the universe.
I find it is a very happy but neutral ally.
It mixes Exceptionally well with 4-aco-dmt.
My List has Grown.
4-aco-dmt, 5-meo-mipt, and now 2c-i join the ranks.

honestly im kinda surprised by the experiences of people on here. I tested this substance extensively years ago (doses from 20-100+mg). Its certainly not the deepest or most intense of the 2c compounds but it has its uses and is a nice introduction to the inexperienced.
keep in mind im extremely tolerant to psychs in general so dont use my dosages for guidelines.
20mg- nice warm up. I could perform any daily function with ease on this.
40-mg- ideal for a nice reasonable level recreational trip good for creative writing
60mg- gets fairly intense for most. still manageable. this is where the visuals get good for me
80mg- a good high dose trip that gets you in a solid resonating trip with good visuals
100mg- a little crazy and intense. I could still manage but I wouldnt want to be out anywhere this is about where we got the peak of its effects.
On an interesting note the thing that we liked about this substance is no matter the route of ingestion it always has the same effect. Oral, insufflated. smoked, rectal all routes lead to the same effect. Its the only substance ive known for that to be true.
If you are wondering what my tolerance is like. As a general rule I have to take double what any normal person does of any substance. Its just hard in general to get me going on anything even alcohol.
