The Big & Dandy 2C-I Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
I had my first full-fledged psychedelic experience yesterday with 2c-i. Before this I had taken mescaline once, at a low dose, feeling effects only barely past threshold.

The stimulation really got to me at 15 mg. The come up was a little rough considering I had never been through this sort of experience before, and anxiety gripped me during the peak. Eventually, though, I came to terms with the trip and had a wonderful experience.

What is the proposed mechanism behind 2c-i's inherent stimulation? Is it due to its agonism of serotonin receptors? The come down was very gentle, left me with a distinct afterglow, and while I did notice some jaw tension and an uncomfortable body load during the peak, today I feel relatively normal. I'd rather not continue to use this compound, however, if it's likely that this stimulation is in any way harmful. It felt... unnatural, I suppose.
 
I'm sure the stimulation wouldn't be harmful to you - otherwise I reckon it would have been known by now through all the people who've done it - 2C-i is becoming really popular!!

It does feel pretty unnatural, same with 2C-E, so far I've found the only one to feel anywhere natural was 2C-B...2C-i is just too speedy to feel natural IMHO - definitely going to test it's speedy qualities more next time.
 
Aye, that's certainly true. I'm mostly concerned that its stimulation could be due to properties similar (I know not identical) in nature to amphetamines. Should I be using antioxidants with this class of phenethylamine? I have seen a study, I believe, that indicated that antioxidants should be used with ANY phenethylamine. Is there any truth to this statement?

At any rate, it's a beautiful drug that I will use at least once more. 15mg provided me with my first REAL set of OEVs, yet I managed to remain lucid throughout the experience. I think I'll up the dose to 18mg next time and see what that is like.
 
you'll prob find it quite nice...all depends though - I don't know anyone who I've introduced to it that has said they found the body load uncomfortable...I found 25mg quite nice all round except feeling a lil frazzled and not really thinking straight like when I drink.
 
20 mg did not seem significantly more intense than 15 mg. The body load got to me until I smoked some weed which mellowed the trip out quite a bit, and seemed to kick the visuals up a notch from where they were.

Still rather underwhelming. Do you guys think 25 mg would do the trick?
 
I remember the first time I ever tried 2ci, about six years ago. It had come to me earlier than I had expected and I had a date later that night. I was curious to see if I could actually be on 2ci, on a date, in public and not have my date even know I was on anything.

We went to see The Chronicles of Riddick. Shit movie. Shit acting. But woooooooow at the visuals! I was glued to my chair. I kept laughing at parts I know weren't funny. The most interesting part was that I could see these visual energies coming from the audience, shooting towards the screen. Some were brighter than others. I realized the brighter energies were coming from those paying attention to the movie. While those who were talking or not interested in the movie had very dim rays. I made it through the date without her knowing anything was up. Maybe. I never saw her again after that night, so who knows.

2ci by itself is very amazing. Very euphoric and visual. But, 2ci+ecstacy? Good God, ya'll! The world was a gallery of Alex Grey paintings! Anyone else try this combo?
 
I'm trying 2C-I for the first time this week. My connect said that 10mg should be enough because he tripped the hardest he's ever tripped on only 10mg. But after reading a lot of posts around BL, I feel as though 10mg just won't be enough. I'm thinking 15-20mg. Is it possible to dose up on 2c-i if I say, decide to start with only 10mg?
 
10mg is baseline for some and others it's very intense. I always tried between 15-20, but 10 is a good starting point. Just don't make the mistake of only waiting 45 minutes or so and redosing becaue you don't feel anything. It takes a while to come on. Somethimes it could take as long as two hours to kick in. But when it does kick in......wow!

Be safe, have fun and make sure to post a report in trip reports for us.
 
10mg is a good starting point. I suggest it as a starting point for people I know. Just because I decided to start with 25mg doesn't mean most people should...I was just gung-ho. It turned out alright, I wouldn't usually do that, but I had done quite a lot of research into it before, and all in all I weighed up the pros and cons, and came out with a very decent experience.
 
because of varying sensitivity between people, starting with a low dose is always recommended with a new substance. In this case 10-12 mg is a good starting point.
 
I recently obtained some 2c-I, and was wondering if this is what I really got..? This is a sandy colored chrystal looking substance. Yesterday I dropped 25 mg and had no effectes.

BTW. We did trip on saturday on 12.5 mg. 2c-E
 
Could be absolutely anything really. Including an off white to sand colored Kosher salt. No way anyone can tell. You tried Marquis? May give you an idea of what it could be but to be honest I wouldn't take the stuff. Could be a different drug, could be some something totally inactive, could be something highly toxic, could be the crap swept off the lab floor. Could be anything. Except 2C-I by the sound of it. Bad luck - time to find a new source, I guess :\

I've only ever seen 2C-I come as a brilliant white, rather clumpy, somewhat fluffy - kinda like the consistency of icing sugar - powder. Never as sandy crystals. Sounds suspect to me.

MMM I found 2C_I to be very fluffy, brilliant almost sparkling white fine crystalline powder...not so clumpy though...maybe clumpy but not sticky like 2C-B.
 
Shambles.. I think i'll take that advice as much as it hurts. Man I hate getting burned.. Thanks
 
I'm not entirely sure I didn't get a 15 mg dose last time. The experience was very similar to the last one I had on 15 mg... how large of a dose-curve response does 2c-i have? Would an additional 5 mg be likely to have only a small increase in subjective effects? I really want to try 25 mg but I'm worried that I only dosed 15 again last time instead of 20 and that if that's the case, 25 might get too intense. In my experience, though, it seems relatively easy to handle.

What do you guys think?
 
I'd advise not doing it if you're not sure, or at least do it in an environment you're really comfortable with.

I personally would go for it however - but only because my first dose I weighed out for myself was 25mg. First time. I didn't find it anywhere near as intense as 9mg insufflated 2C-E, even at the most stimulating parts.

Dunno man, go with the flow. :)
 
Two close friends are coming over and we are all going to trip together. I think it'll be fine... though I sort of decided last night to be honest. XD
