liteage1 - I would really like to hear more about the low dose experiences you had, if you care to take the time. Seems like a low level dose could be very rewarding with this chemical.
Piper methysticum said:I took my Mescaline around 12 noon, and I was in the woods until around 8pm. It was getting dark as I was walking home. I was up until around 2am and had no trouble sleeping after I took a Tranxene (a benzodiazepine). I have taken 2C-E around 5pm and had no trouble sleeping around 12 midnight to 2am with a Tranxene. I usually don't have much of a problem sleeping with psychedelics. I fell asleep an hour after the peak of my first LSD trip.
Piper methysticum said:morninggloryseed, So, you are saying 2C-E is very rewarding during the day as well?...Why would you never take an empathogenic psychedelic during the day?...What about them works better during the night?...Same with 2C-E during the day? Sorry about getting off topic.
gloggawogga said:I find 2c-e to be nice both day and night, but find a quite different flavor for each...I think the differences of lighting and differences in my body clock/chemistry from day to night both contributed to the differences in effect.
morninggloryseed said:There, he notices the body rhythm thing too. I really think that is what it is.
Piper methysticum said:I even notice it with the way Cannabis effects me during the morning/day as opposed to evening/night.
morninggloryseed said:To answer is going to be one long ramble (as most things I saw. I don't have any reasons other than personal preference.
For me the entactogens (the MDX series) just don't work well during the day. I've tried MDMA twice and methylone once during the day, and each time it was just "too busy" to get into it. I've never taken an entactogen in a party situation, except once and I didn't like it at all. I don't consider these things recreational.
There is just too much going on during the day for me to relax enough and get into the right frame of mind to let the entactogens take me as deep as they can. Maybe it has to do with body rhythms. My brain is not in the right state during the day to (what I consider) properly experience those materials. The magic they have just was just absent when I took them during the day.
Maybe it is also tied to my personal experiences. With the exception of two of my three MDA trips, all of my entactogen experiences happened with a girlfriend either holding each other in bed and listening to quiet ambient music (or laying in a tent and listening to the universe), feeling each other become one. I just associate night time with the entactogens, and the fact the times I did take them during the day were letdowns, I just don't see no reason to do it. Why waste the stuff?
As for the "classic" psychedelic phenethylamines...
With the exception of a few 2C-T-7 trips, my only enjoyable experience with 2C-T-2 (which was the first time I took it), and one 2C-I trip (wrote a report about it, it was so special); not one PEA trip has ever been as magical and special as the daytime ones.
My one 2C-E experience at night was very dark (no pun intended) as well as for the friend I took it with, but it could have been the setting. We were in some Native America ruins in eastern Colorado and there were a lot of spirits out there. That doesn't say much though why I don't like PEAs at night.
I have taken 2C-I, 2C-T-2, 2C-T-7, and 2C-B at night and with the exception of 2C-T-7, these chemicals just seem better suited for the daytime. There is something about the sunlight, it just seems to be an energy that really brings out the magic of the PEAs. I really can't put it into words. I guess I enjoy tripping outdoors, and (because I live in an area of extreme natural beauty) the visuals and emotions for me are most intense during the day with the sun fueling the whole experience.
My last time with 2C-E (third and counting), I was on top of a mountain with my best friend and we literally watched as the world became a palette and was painted before out very eyes. We both watched as mountains would grow out of the ground, only to be destroyed and recreated again. It was the most incredible, mystical thing I've ever seen. The ultimate visual experience and I wouldn't have seen it if it were night time. It was so intense, at one point my senses got so overwhelmed I had a white-out. It was 5-MeO-DMT-like in intensity. But I was never scared. Beautiful experience.
But I was disappointed with 2C-E at night when we took it in those Native American ruins. Maybe it was the setting, but I felt isolated and just obsessed over personal issues, but in a non-productive way. I didn't get any "work" done, I just went in circles. And the visuals at night were nothing like my daytime 2C-E trips. There wasn't much to see, even though we were on an intense dose. I had the best visuals in the morning as I was coming down and we were making breakfast. That was the only time I enjoyed the trip. As I said, it hard a very dark and foreboding nature. Only 2C-T-7 produces visuals that seem to work whether it's day or night. 2C-E beats T-7 in depth, but T-7 has every conventional psychedelic beat when it comes to visionary properties.
So in the end, only the entactogenic PEA psychedelics are nice for me at night. The others are daytime trips. It’s personal preference, but it also has to do with the way those materials affect me. And their effects are either suited for day (classic psychedelic PEAs) or night (the entactogens.)
