Riemann Zeta

This esoteric little rarity was a stellar compound in my experience. I took it up to a maximum dose of 20-22mg (after starting with 10mg), which proved to be ample for a full-on "proper" psychedelic sojourn. I would estimate that 20mg of 2C-T-21 was visually comparable to a very high-end dose (i.e. 60mg) of 2C-B or any other of the 4-halo-phenethylamine psychedelics. However, the physical sides of the T-21 are far more mild than those of 2C-B at such a high dose--while 2C-B can produce headaches, jaw tension and other annoyances at a fully-emersive dose, this one feels essentially translucent. In that sense, it reminded me of DOC (another phenethylamine rarity that I truly loved). Another similarity between 2C-T-21 at higher "fully active" levels (~15-20mg) and the psychedelic amphetamines is the come-up time. That is, it is a psychedelic time-bomb, taking about 2.5-3 hours to ascend (like DOC, DOI). The duration of 2C-T-21 is just perfect: a little longer than the disappointingly short likes of 2C-B et al, but far shorter than the 18 hours of power provided by psychedelic amphetamines. As for nausea, it is extremely uncommon for me to experience nausea with a serotonergic psychedelic (save 5-MeO-DiPT, which certainly sent me on a trip...to the toilet), so your milage may vary with 2C-T-21.
In short, I consider this compound to be amongst the best (if not the best) of the 2,5-dimethoxy-phenethylamines (the '2C-' series). The mental state engendered is flowing and peaceful, with beautiful but not overly-distracting visuals. In fact, the only phenethylamine-type psychedelic that bests it in my mind is the wondrous amphetamine DOC, which I would rank third overall in terms of the psychedelics I have tasted (with d-LSD and 5-MeO-DMT being the top two, respectively).
Edit: As an aside, this chemical was the supreme winner in one category: it is the worst-tasting psychedelic I have tried, bar-none. The substituted amphetamines are almost flavourful compared to this one. Thankfully, the taste doesn't linger at all.
