It was the day after Alexander Shulgin had died, and I had seen some other people planning to trip on some compounds that he had made in memory of him, and I opted to do the same. I couldn't think of a better way to commemorate a life well-lived. I had been planning to wait a little longer before tripping again, since it had only been five days since my previous experience, but I had the day off, so I figured it couldn't hurt. I kind of wanted to try something new for the experience, so first I dug out my old stash of 2C-I from years ago, which I had maybe somewhere around 50-70 mg left of, give or take. I weighed out 25 mg for myself in preparation for a little bit later, and decided that, since this was my first time taking a phenethylamine since I had started tripping again, I would wait maybe about forty-five minutes to an hour to see how it was hitting me, and then if it felt right I would stack 25 mg of 4-HO-MiPT on top of the experience.
This combination of psychedelics was picked with careful consideration. 2C-I alone for me has proven to be a drug with a very powerful body high, and during my stronger trips with it, this translates into something incredibly sexual. For the highest dose of it I had ever taken, I had actually gotten complete entity contact, for my first time on any psychedelic. This contact lacked any sort of psychological depth however; it was basically like a spirit orgy, with female entities merging into and out of my body while moaning and causing one orgasmic burst of vibrational energy after another. Because of that experience I have always been interested in mixing 2C-I with other hallucinogens which may give it a little bit more of the mystical or insightful edge that I tend to get with other psychedelics, but my trials up until this point have been sort of a dud. It seemed to fight both the LSD and 4-AcO-DMT experiences in a way that made it feel like I was hallucinating and sped out, but not really tripping, not even on the level that 2C-I alone provides. My one notable success with it came from combining it with ketamine, my only experience thus far with that chemical. This created beautiful dream-like imagery and entity contact with vibrant, full-spectrum rainbow colors saturating every scene, and I floated through an energy grid while watching various delirious movie-like scenarios play out. Because of this I knew that 2C-I had more potential, I just had to find the right companion for it.
I've only used 4-HO-MiPT once before in the past, but I was definitely intrigued by it. I had actually been interested in it for years, pretty much ever since I first started researching drugs. What really made me more curious about it than anything though was the multiple reports of it that I'd heard describing it as along the lines of mushrooms, but more lucid, energetic, and sexual. One thing I had noticed about mushrooms, particularly from my highest dose of them, was that while some psychedelics like DMT and 2C-I could be more orgasmic in a purely overwhelming way, and some like LSD could be more erotic in a crazy, lustful way, mushrooms tended to have an emotional quality that other psychedelics for me just lacked. They were still very fetishy, but there's something to them that I can only describe as along the lines of feeling like true love, the kind where you're completely at peace and can totally trust and give yourself up to them. The entities I see on them tend to consist mainly of girls dressed in colorful latex and high heels and other such things, with lots of really cosmic-looking royal jewelry, and they tend to be surrounded by lots of abstract, stereotypically psychedelic borders and sensual and romantic imagery. My one experience with 4-HO-MiPT before this hadn't exactly been the perfect setting to try to bring that side of it out, but I still felt that it was there. I also ended up having effects very much of this same sort from a combination of LSD and 4-HO-DiPT, and I was starting to become suspicious that this might be a general visual architecture of 4-hydroxytryptamines for me. Given this, and everything I had heard about its clarity of thought and relatively dissociating trip, I thought that it might actually be something which had the potential to synergize well with 2C-I.
So, at 7:30 PM, T+0:00, I took the 25 mg of the 2C-I. Within about half an hour later I was becoming quite stimulated and talking more and more, until about T+0:45 when I had the house to myself. The energy was strong but the body high was mild, and as far as visuals go I was getting some maybe *very* slight movement of surfaces at this point. I was also a getting a little bit of nausea, which I had never gotten with 2C-I before other than the time I snorted it just at the beginning, which was a little off-putting, but I seem to get nausea from psychedelics these days a little bit more easily than I did years ago, so I figured it was no big deal. At T+1:00 I figured that, even though I know it takes a little longer than this for 2C-I to fully kick in, I would be able to tell if it was going to be a really heavy trip or not, and I decided that I could definitely take a bit more. I took the 25 mg of 4-HO-MiPT that I had weighed out in anticipation, and then I used the bathroom and then hopped in the shower to help with a headache that I'd had for most of the day as I waited for both drugs to start really working their magic at the same time. The water felt really great on my skin when I was in there, and very quickly I started to notice the walls and glass around me warping and sliding around and breaking into multiple colored layers. I tried to see if I could discern which part of these visuals were coming from the phenethylamine and which from the tryptamine, but it was hard to do as they actually seemed to be mixing pretty well. My mind was doing something a little stranger though. When texting X not much later, I would describe it as "It's almost like I know I'm tripping but I don't know why." In some ways it almost felt like my thoughts were skipping over themselves, but the thoughts didn't seem unordinary, and they also seemed to be very sped up, but almost in a way that I didn't even really notice it, like I could think several thoughts in a span of a few seconds and not even really realize it because I just felt normal. Very odd stuff.
Anyway, I ended up getting out of the shower I believe some time around T+1:15, and then I decided to do some nitrous. I had heard from a dealer years ago that 2C-I and nitrous was an incredible combination, but I had never gotten to try it back then so I was pretty interested. I was also feeling a little bit more nausea now than I had before, and I was hoping to help it a bit. My visuals had started to reach a point similar to my mindset where they were sort of haphazardly jumping from one thing to the next, and in the same way it sort of felt like I was getting prominent effects but I couldn't really nail down what any of them were. I definitely thought that my negative body load was causing this in some way by hindering me from letting go into the experience, and so in the hopes of having this not be another wasted 2C-I combination, I loaded a balloon with a few chargers to help myself out, and took it down at around T+1:35. It made the experience feel much more dissociating (of course) and I felt like I was tripping much harder once I came out of the balloon than before I went in, but it still didn't really feel like it had reached its full potential, like I had the same indiscriminate effects from before, just stronger now. It also didn't take longer for the nausea to start creeping back in. I had just a couple of weeks prior quit smoking weed for the time being and I really wasn't missing it so I had had no desire to mix it with this trip just for the sake of potentiation, but given the side effects and the fact that this experience felt like it just needed a little extra push to full evolve, I finally gave in and decided to go for it at about T+2:15. I got just a little bit of some high quality stuff to work with, and loaded myself a small bowl and started toking away, and then went to lie down closer to the TV to hear the music better.
