I have never tried another 2c-x apart from 2C-D. It didn't do it for me at all. It was very different from 2C-C and I would be unable to function on it comfortably like this. 2C-C is sheer comfort for me, and it enhances my awareness to what I believe is my full potential. I am captivated by anything and everything in my environment. It's turning me from an introvert to an extrovert, or combining both characteristics by eliminating the ability to be scared or shy. I could use 2c-t-2, 2c-t-7, 2c-d, or 2c-e instead, but I haven't even thought of trying another 2c-x psych since I discovered 2C-C.
I think it's really interested how all of our personality types lead us to different psychedelic preferences, My other psychedelic of choice is DMT. Every time it is amazing, and I used it every day for a month this summer and loved every trip so much and grew to become comfortable with it very much. I cannot handle lsd or any of its analogues for me... they essentially give me panic attacks and bad trips a lot of the time. I have had insane experiences with them, really far out, but I got nothing out of it. I couldn't think straight and it was hard to remember and I wasn't always comfortable. Mushrooms leave me physically uncomfortable, hard to digest these days. And when I ate a quarter of them this summer, I forgot that I was human. I forgot everything about myself, but I retained my sense of logic. It took me about an hour to figure out or realize what my name was, and then everything about my life came flooding back. Oh, right! I like this, I like that, I have a brother etc. I don't know if that's ego death, but it really wasn't all that transformative for me. The experience was crazy and I loved it, but it didn't change me at all at the end of the day.
DMT definitely changed me, to this very day. However, I cannot function on it as I am laying down sedating having a mind blowing sensory experience for 15 minutes. 2C-C, I can truly function on a higher level. I've even discovered new passions this week, like photography, and been in touch with my journal entries too. I've met more new friends and had more interesting conversations than I probably have in the past year.
I feel like 2C-C was designed for me, whereas any other 2c-x would just be experimental and with limited use. I don't even think I would try any of the others. It's really neat how some of us reach a similar space with acid, or 2c-I, or mushrooms, or 2c-t-7. I think it has a lot to do with differing personalities and physiology. I'm glad that I found what I consider the ideal psychedelic for me. I'm going to use it for as long as I need to, and ensure I get some solid clean time in this time before these new amazing habits become habitual and I have been transformed and can stop using it so much.
Oddly enough I've never been happier and I'm supposed to be in oxycodone withdrawal. I'd like to hit some DMT on this stuff, I wonder if you can shoot up 2-CC. My nose burns quite a bit from the stuff, but I prefer to rail it over taking it orally. Although, I think tomorrow I will take a high oral dose, Perhaps 60mg which I guess is pretty moderate. 80 at most. Never even knew about 2c-x drugs until I was older and only tried them first in my mid 20's. I was having beautiful visuals from 2c-d, but it wasn't doing anything for me and left me with a headache. 2C-C is turning me into a photographer, naturalist, writer, it enhances my whole entire life and makes me giggle so much too but it isn't say heroin euphoria which is blinding. Worst decision of my life. With this Sacred Key I am not sober, and also not impaired. I'm sure it's not for everyone too... some may find it boring, or have almost any reaction to it that isn't what I'm getting out of it which is essentially approoching the ideal version of myself. It's the best therapy I have ever experienced.
Typing is a little hard when I'm tired late at night with my candle shrine going and the screen is appearing as neon green, yellow, violet, and red hues. Yet I can still function very well. I'm going to get a great sleep tonight,
