I ate a small amount of poppies about 2 hours ago, not enough to get very high. I have a nice afterglow from the 2c-c trip.
The trip lasted quite a bit longer than I expected. I did not drop below a +2 until about 10 hours after plugging the 24mg. I got a slight headache late in the trip but it went away after about 2 hours. The only other side effects were slight nausea during the come-up and some gas.
I like 2c-c at the dose that I took. The mind effects during most of the trip were not as interesting as 2c-e/p or most of the tryptamines that I have tried but there was a strong sense of wellbeing during the whole experience. Visually it was at least as good as a high dose of 2c-e. The trip had some of the feeling of a 2nd plateau dose of DXM in addition to the more typical phenethylamine effects.
For about 20 minutes during the peak of the trip I was lying out on the grass in the sunshine. During this time I felt a strong connection with the earth and this filled me with joy. I watched a large bird flying above me for about half of the time that I was out there and I felt a connection with it also. The sky was mostly clear but there were some thin cirrus clouds in the sky and they were twisting and distorting. The sky was full of gorgeous visuals, more colorful usual for visuals in a blue sky. The 20 minutes that I was lying outside seemed more like an hour. This was the best, most interesting part of the trip.

Tryptamine_Dreams are you really doing it for the psychonaust perspective judging from the way you use drugs it seems as though you are doing it purely for the act of escaping. Do you ever think about this on your trips?
When I use psychedelics, it is not for the purpose of escape. I like the extremely altered states of mind they produce. Psychedelics are exciting and lots of fun, most of the time. I do not consider using them for those reasons to be an act of escape. Most/probably all people who use psychedelics do it for fun and to experience the wide variety of mind states they produce.
Maybe I trip a little too often but I know there are others on bluelight who trip just as frequently as I do. I think the last few months i've tripped 3-4 times per month.

My use of opiates, benzos and neurontin is mostly to relieve my depression and social anxiety but if the dose is high then it is either for fun or because I am having a bad day. I guess that is using to escape from the anxiety and depression. It is the only thing that works. If any of the many antidepressants I have used actually worked I would use opiates and other depressants much less often.

What kind of feel do opiates add on a trip? You mention how they help and I know Tryptamine Dreamer does a lot of psychs usually with some pods. Now that I have more experience with opiates I'm curious how the combination is.
If I use opiates before taking a psychedelic or before/during the peak it is usually not for the purpose of altering the trip and is usually a small dose. I have been using poppies 1-2 times a day for a while and if I waited too long for another dose I would start feeling some symptoms of withdrawal.
I do use higher doses of poppies before/during the peak sometimes and it usually gives a very pleasant trip with lots of euphoria. It makes the trip a little more dreamy. It almost guarantees a good trip. It can dull the mental effects some and usually does not allow much darkness in the trip. It has little or no effect on the visuals.
Most of the time on psychedelics, I will feel good for most of the trip but there will be a few short periods of sadness or other negative emotions. A medium or high dose of opiates will usually prevent that. It also drastically reduces any anxiety, fear, or creepy thoughts and feelings. I like to have some creepy or scary thoughts and feelings sometimes. It makes the trip more exciting.
The most pleasant psychedelic+opiate combos I have tried were with 4-ho-mipt and 4-ho-dipt. It is very euphoric and there is a nice body high. Also lots of laughing for no reason at all on at least a couple of the trips.
One of my +4 trips was with 8 HBWR seeds, poppies, and neurontin. During the come up of the trip it seemed like it was turning bad so I drunk quite a bit of poppy tea and some neurontin. I'm going to try that combo again some time.
I do often take higher doses of opiates after the peak of a trip, especially for long trips. The feeling is about the same as if I was on the opiate during the peak, I just won't be tripping as hard.
