(16mg 2C-E + Cannabis) Experienced - We have turned the world upside down
This is my first tripreport, any criticism, comment or suggestion is welcome.
-------
Substances: 2C-E (~16mg plugged) + Cannabis (~1g smoked throughout the night)
Set: a little preoccupied with stuff lately, but generally in good spirits
Setting: home alone, having a relaxed evening
-------
Last weekend I had the flat to myself, my roommate was going to the cinema and partying later on, so I decided to use the opportunity to take a relatively high dose of 2C-E. [For me this was a strong, but not overwhelming +++, but I'm a little bit of a hardhead. If you're new to this substance, better work your way up slowly.]
I didn't make any notes, so the timeline is not exact, only to give you a general idea.
18:45 I weighed out approximately 16mg of 2C-E [seeing that I can't afford a labgrade scale, this could easily be off by a few milligrams] and dissolved it in 3ml of water.
19:00 I administered the solution rectally. Then I proceeded to roll a joint with some nice sativa weed and make a few last preparations, turning off my phone, tidying up my room some more and preparing a fruit smoothie for later.
19:40 Alerts have become more prominent for the last 10-15 min. I have a bit of a queasy stomach, but nothing serious. I draw a hot bath, lay down in the tub and start smoking the joint I rolled earlier.
Within the next 20-30 min the effects build up pretty fast - obviously helped by the weed - I feel very euphoric and my thoughts are all over the place, it feels like I can follow countless trains of thought that spread out in all directions from one initial thought. It seems I can view these trains of thoughts in a parallel fashion, while each goes on with incredible speed, but still somehow being in relation to each other. I can't put my finger on where the connections or common themes are between these trains of thought, but I have a strong feeling that their relation to each other is not as random as it seems on the intellectual level.
Over time it seems these diverging trains of thoughts are starting to move back towards each other. I start to concentrate on feelings of stress I have been having lately, in a controlled and analytical, yet non-linear and free-association-type manner. I feel, mostly on a bodily level, how I let go of stress and tension. I become lost for minutes (hours? days?) in the feeling of my face relaxing, especially the muscles around the eyes and through associations of thoughts and bodily feelings discover, that most of the stress I have been experiencing lately comes from a totally different place than I had thought. Funny how stupid that intellectual mind can be.
By now I suddenly notice the strange soundscape I am captivated by. The sound of the air flowing through the air vent of my bathroom. Since it is a windy day this sound is constantly ebbing down and rising back up, giving me the sound of being in the middle of a storm yet all I feel is a slight cool breeze flowing over the warm water I lay in. Pictures of hot springs on a snowy mountain range come to mind. [There is no fan, rather the house is build in a way that there is always some airflow, sometimes more sometimes less depending on the weather.]
At this point I start experiencing some CEVs, which is very unusual for me and highly welcomed. [I always used to get only little in the visual department and even less - close to none - since I moved into a new place one year ago. No idea why.] These CEVs consisted of a pattern of circles in different sizes, some connected to each other with lines. These circles and the connecting lines were in the colour of ivory on top of a pitch black background, furthermore the circles where subdivided with black lines of differing thickness, sometimes "cutting out" a rectangular part of the circle. This whole pattern seemed to be set on a somewhat "extreme" scale, but I couldn't decide if it was a very large scale, like satellite images of giant crop circles, or a very small scale, like pictures from a electron microscope.
Here is a sketch based on these images. I'm not very talented at describing or drawing such abstract imagery, but I hope the combination of both can give you some idea.
After a while I decided I had bathed for long enough. When I went back into my room, I asked myself how long it had been since I sat down in the tub... I was puzzled, the best guess I could make was that it had to have been between 30 min and 3 hours. I looked at the clock and it was almost 10 o'clock, so it had been about 2 hours.
22:00 I put on some spacy ambient music had some sips of the fruit smoothie and was blown away by how tasty it was and how the subtle nuances of sweetness and sourness blended together perfectly.
Then I meditated for a good while. I had no more CEVs, but again dove into personal issues that have been on my mind lately and discovered some new and surprising perspectives. I am once again amazed by this substances ability to be used for "targeted introspection". When I use mushrooms, for example, I don't feel like I am navigating myself through this space, but rather drifting wherever it will take me. This is often accompanied by strong emotions, going from sobbing to laughing in a matter of minutes, and being given interesting insights into myself. However there is not the least amount of "practical thinking", all thoughts regarding implementation of these new insights are happening in the days/weeks/months to come. With 2C-E on the other hand, I feel like it is very "practical" in a sense. I can direct my attention in every direction I want, and while of course there is still highly emotional content I often feel somewhat detached from these emotions and quite often find myself thinking "Now that I had these new insights, how can I adjust my thinking and behaviour accordingly?"
23:30 I smoked some more weed, which intensified things a bit and then decided to put on shoes and a jacket to step out on the balcony for a short while. I had only planned to stand there for a few minutes and breath some fresh air, but the amazing view from the 9th floor held me captive for over half an hour. Living in a big city there are obviously a lot of light sources, street lamps, moving cars, illuminated windows. It was cloudy [Not that there would be a lot of stars to see anyway, light pollution and all that] and so it seemed as if a star-covered sky and a pitch black earth had changed places. This led to thoughts about the course mankind has taken in it's evolution and how drastically we have altered the conditions we live under on this planet... quite literally having turned the world upside down.
00:00 I went back inside and decided I was in the mood for playing a visually stunning movie over my video projector and after some thought decided to watch 'Hero' which I hadn't seen in a long time. My mind was still wandering off from time to time, so I couldn't quite follow the story, in part of course because I kept on smoking more weed throughout the movie. The cinematography is unbelievable, if you don't know this movie you should really check it out.
02:00 I listened to some more music and started drawing a bit, trying to capture the essence of the CEVs I've had earlier. I am not very good at drawing, but I was much less frustrated with my crude first attempts than I would have normally been and eventually finished one sketch, that I felt came quite close to what I had seen.
04:00 Around this time I went to bed, because I didn't want to lose the whole next day by sleeping until the next evening. I didn't look at the clock anymore, but it must have been another 1-2 hours before I could actually sleep.

I really love 2C-E, it is one of my favourite substances. I hope you enjoyed reading about my experience.

This is the kind of experience I have on 2C-E also. I enjoyed your descriptions of the sounds you were hearing... for me, 2C-E is probably the greatest sound-amplifying drug there is. It makes me feel like my hearing is incredibly acute and sounds both sound and FEEL amazing. And it's accompanied by increased mental ability to process these sounds. I remember once standing on my back deck (I live in a temperate rainforest) and listening to the huge array of night sounds, frogs, insects, small animals, rustling of leaves, and I felt like I could pinpoint precisely where each and every sound was coming from, as if I could feel the points of sound and that feeling sent me information like a sonar, and my mind could hold it all simultaneously and separately acknowledge each one.
