This particular 2c-x took some time getting right, but after playing around with it, it became a new favorite. The first time I was in a horrible mood and was a bit dope sick as well, so I'm sure that in itself made for an unpleasant experience. I took 30mg and as soon as it started to come on I couldn't get comfortable for the life of me. About 2 hours into, I just kept on pacing around, feeling extremely down as I was depressed and alone at the time. There were no visuals at this dose and unlike most 2c-x, other than 2c-c, I felt oddly sedated and spent the majority of the rest of the trip in bed. I know not to take psychs when one is in a bad mind state, but I figured a mild one wouldn't be too devastating and as always, I did gain some insight into a majority of issues I've been struggling with.
About a month later, i felt like I could handle a decent trip. This time I ingested 50mg, I was also pretty high on heroin and really felt like having a proper, enjoyable trip and that I did. I believe the opiates have a real nice synergy with 2c-d, it almost felt as if the two were potentiating each other. Another plus about 2c-d, is the shorter duration. After 4-5 hours of pleasantly tripping, I was coming down, so I prepped 15-20mg IM. This completely changed the character of the trip. About 10 min after the injection it all just hit me. I was tripping hard. Previous to this route, I never expereinced visuals on 2c-d, but I was engulfed in visuals. The processing of the visuals were quite unique and unlike any other psych I've had. It's hard to explain, but everything around me was morphing, breathing, crawling, but in an odd fashion, at a rapid rate. Despite the heavy alterations in my visual field, my mind was still relatively intact, though at times it felt I was simutaneously having several trains of thoughts going on in my head.
All this subsided in about an hour, so I felt like calling it a night and IV some heroin, but I wondered what it be like to also throw a pinch of 2c-d in there. In totality, I put probably 5-10mg along with the H. As soon as I started plunging down, the world around me started to change at a pace I'm not to comfortable with. Fortunately, I was given a good 15 seconds to prepare myself, so I do what I always do when I think I took too many psychs and am losing my mind, I retreated to my bed. I felt a bit of terror start to creep over me, but I was able to move past it and ride the experience out, which lasted for about another hour. It wasn't a negative experience, but rather neutral. The IV route gets way too confusing way too fast and can induce quite a bit of anxiety, so I'd avoid this route for those looking for a smooth ride.
Anyways, I really have grown to enjoy this compound. It feels clean on the body and clear in the mind. Definitely a winner.

Combined with a little dose of 3C-P (about 40 mg of that plus 20 mg 2C-D snorted) it resulted in a profound headspace and various interesting perceptive changes I wouldn't even think could happen. I doubted the 'psychedelic tofu' quality of this compound, but now I gotta say Shulgin pinpointed it right, it's huge for expanding other compounds' action. As it always goes with 2C-D, also felt a nice body high and a very inspiring sense of euphoria. I would say this one feels best done at a party, and it doesn't really impair social skills unless done in extreme doses. The stimulating properties are also good for a boost when going into a 3 days long rave. Recommended.
