__________________________________________________ ________

I’ve had three experiences with 2CI since I received 100mg in the mail from an online vendor. I have tried to be very responsible, in that I’ve been as cautious as possible in my experimentation. My first dose was at 5mg. This dose gave me a fairly good idea of what 2CI was all about. The effects at this dose were very mild and several waves of a tingly body buzz were the main subjective effect. The only visual phenomena were a mild brightening of my surroundings. There were little to no mental effects, with only a hint of unbalance. As a note I was under no prescription medication at this time, and was struggling with Panic Attack Disorder on a daily basis. Do not let that convince you it is ok to ingest substances while under mental stress.

My second try was at a 12mg dosage. This time having a little bit of a gage of what was going to happen, I first prepared myself mentally. I read a good portion of “Be here now,” a very spiritual book I use to guide myself in to a peaceful state of mind. Followed by 15 minutes of light meditation, geared mostly towards ridding my mind of miscellaneous thoughts. This attempt at T: 00:45 after ingestion I was already sensing the unbalance, and mild brightening of my surrounding, with no mental effects. Gradually into the 2-hour mark I peaked, with LSD-like visual patterns being the most prominent effects. The prior meditation proved to be valuable in that at no point was I ever scared, or concerned as to my state of mind. At the 12mg dosage their seemed to be no mental intoxication at all. I seemed to plateau for around an hour, until slowly coming down to baseline by the 5 and a half hour mark. Overall I was pleased with the experiment, and was anxious to do further study.

My third attempt has proved to be the most enlightening and successful trial. This time I chose to use 15mg, and as well dosed a good friend and fellow pychonaut whom I’d tripped with on several past occasions on drugs from LSD to Mushrooms, and beyond. I was very curious as to what type of intellectual conversation and ideas would spring from this chemical. We chose to listen to Progressive House music most of the experience, as we both believe it to be soothing to the hard tripper. We both dosed the 15mg at 8:30PM, and by 9:50PM we were both feeling the slow onset. Make a note that the common 1.5 to 2 hour onset most people experience did not affect me on none of my three experiences, but came on much sooner, always noticing effect by at least 45 minutes.

2CI made the music very warm and deep. It wasn’t distorted and intelligible, as some psychedelics tend to be. We both felt very close to each other, and felt as if we were sharing the same exact experience, and the world was actually behaving in this strange manner. The visuals came on very fuzzy at first, and the warm buzz was stronger than ever before. I found that if I focused on the body sensations it became very pleasurable. By the one and a half hour mark we were hitting the peak. It became very hard to sit, or stay in the same place, as we felt very speedy. It was more of an MDMA speedy than pure methamphetamine speediness. I noted no recognizable increase in heart rate even at the peak of the experience, blood pressure also remained well within bounds, as I checked them both several times.

As I came out of the peak around 12:30 the patterns and visual sensations became very clear and almost liquidy. It was easy to ignore them, but they were there nonetheless. We engaged in deep conversation for most of the trip, finding it very easy to grasp philosophical ideas. The most profound realization I had was in regards to the Senses. I noticed that we as humans rely so heavily on sensory input. And with the simple removal of merely one sense we could be thrust into chaos. We go through life not seeing each other…but more so sensing…. and experiencing each other’s actions. Action and reaction. The concept was very clear. It is said there is no change in mental state, and that you remain clear headed throughout the trip. I beg to differ, whilst in control, it was all too easy to drift into a psychological wonderland.

Overall I found the third trip to be the most profound and interesting, as well as the most visually satisfying. Even though I think the visuals are just a side story to 2CI, there’s much more to get out of it than that. I would recommend it to anyone. My fellow pychonaut also commented to its effectiveness and said he would defiantly be using 2CI again. My advice is to approach it cautiously, and even when it seems to be one of the safest 2C’s, there is always potential for danger. Use meditation to aid you. Taking the occasional break to be by yourself during the trip, taking a minute to relax, and explore your mind. It can be a great tool if you so wish it to be.



Until next time happy trails, and remember, "it can be what you want it to be."

2c-i is very emphatic in low doses. Quite close, compared to other alternatives, to E. Same holds true for 2c-b and 2c-e.

[blue jammer]

I tried 2CI last night for the first time.

Took a dose of 10mg at 8:30pm, and I could feel it taking effect at around 9:45pm, I went to get a drink of water and as I came back upstairs,I could feel tingly sensations, mainly in my legs and stomach.

Then, all of a sudden a wave of warmth came all over me, and for about 15 minutes, I had the overwhelming urge to grin, which felt fantastic.

Having only taken 1 'e' before, which I'm sure was cut with too much speed, that just left me feeling paranoid, where this was nothing like that, it was a great feeling!

I was listening to a playlist of ambient/chill out and uplifting music, using the visual plugin on Winamp 5, called "Milkdrop" - highly recommended, If anyone wants the playlist I can post that up too!

As the music was very familiar to me, I could tell the effects 2CI was having, it does indeed make it sound warmer, and you tend to notice more, the nuances that once seem far away, were right near you, and very clear, a better defined sound in all, and the visuals from the Milkdrop plugin, really were something special, I've always loved things like that, just to sit and watch whilst not under any influences, but with was much better.


Several more waves of warmth, and the huge grins, making my face ache, but it didn't matter, nothing mattered, everything fitted perfectly.

I did notice a couple of times, I was going hot and cold, but only quite mildly, not enough to start sweating, and thought about if I were in a club, I'd have made sure I wore lose clothing and had plenty of water to hand to cool down.

Also, as I wasn't sure how long it'd last after the waves I experienced subsided, and I was tired from working nights the night before, so I got into bed, and tired to sleep - not a chance of that! My brain was ticking over and I had some really bizarre images flashing through my mind, which made me start laughing, this lasted about an hour, and by 1am I felt pretty much back to normal.

I didn't experience many hallucinations, or anything like that, at most I just noticed a slight shadowing, mild blurring of colours and bright lights slowly fading, the whites and greys became stronger, and then weaker.


All in all, I really enjoyed the experience and will repeat it again sometime soon.

How did you guy ingest and measure your doses?

[Pinkavvy]

Nice. Give 2c-e a try, I find it to be much more like Acid and E.


For 2c-i, my favorite dosage is 22mg swollowed or 8mg snorted.

[noeticbuzz]

Well I finally popped my 2C cherry last night, I'd been sitting on a gram of it for almost 3 weeks.


I dosed small between 10-12.5 mg and am looking forward to upping the dosage next trip.


I had a very pleasant body buzz going and touching and feeling was incredible. There was no real mind fuck and I experienced no visuals. Music was lovely and in between every song the silence felt like a huge void.


The one thing I found interesting is that (at least on my dosage) you would only be as much into the moment as you wanted. I'd find myself slowly getting lost into it and then snap some outside stimulus would bring me back, guess we'll have too up the dosage next time

[thydarkprevails]

nice to hear you enjoyed it last night was swims 3rd time on 2c-i, he was experimenting to see if it's an ok drug to have at a party, 17mg's and 2 hours later and he was feeling great

[Iggypoop]

well got my 2c-i this week (100mg from a reliable source) took 10mg on wednesday afternoon, went well but the visuals weren't up to much. However... took 15mg on fri night, blammo! is was foooooked! i was doing the measuring by eye so i think i must have taken too large a dose! (Either that or i'm just a bit of a pussy on this one!) I was going mad, making a nest for me and ma girl in her sitting room (she was also tripping but not anything like me) i felt as though i was looking at the world through new eyes.... which were located just behind my own ones! lol. My skin felt like the top layer was just tingling, along with the feeling of 'liquid skin' itwasreally intense tho, it felt as though i was being overstimulated if ya can understand that? My eyes even felt like they were rolling back into my head! dont know if it was really happening or if it was just me. I closed my eyes and got wicked travelling sensations, i was fluctuating through time and space! when i looked away from the tvthe sound really slowed right down, it was crazy! it seemed too intense at times tho and i worried that i wouldn't be able to come back into reality, lol. I reallycouldn't grasp simple concepts like counting or time, but some really other complex stuff was going on in my head, but i was only able to pick out snippets of information from the 'stream' flying by me, amazing adventure tho, really opens your eyes to what your brain is capable of, a bit awe inspiring. Well anyway, does anyone else ever get that strong of a trip from 15mg 2c-i?

I dosed small a day ago (10 mg ) and when I was riding in a car it felt like we were being shot of some sort of ballistical speed of light accelerator and that we were going to launch into orbit. Definatly overstimulated.

[mariecurie]

Have you ever tried 2C-B? The stimulation is a lot more intense so if
that's a negative you might want to steer clear of it. My coworkers
find it to be a good bit more interesting than 2C-I however.



Happy Trails

[dmax]

I find maybe two levels of tripping on 2ci, one which is induced
sometimes when I take 16-24 mgs, another when I take ~30 or sometimes
at random at lower doses. Makes me think of dxm plateaus...
but whatever. The lower level of trippin on 2ci I find to be
rather disinteresting given the option to take other things, while the
higher level is as good as almost anything I've ever done...

[Iggypoop]

i wouldn't take anywhere near that dose, it fucks me up too much, it was intense enough as it was!! maybe one time i'll give it a go, although sometimes i worry if i'll come back from heavy trips!

[mariecurie]

Thanks for the tip dmax. SWIM has only done 2C-I at the 20 mg level and
he found it to be, just as you said, "disinteresting." I think 25+
might suit him much better

[Lacognac69]

<DIV>I think 2c-i can be quite a good time. I am 235lbs so i need about 25mg to have a good trip. The stimulation can be annoying at times however. THis stuff makes me feel like im at a circus. Everyone looks really tall or short, people look strange, and anything that happens is exaggerated. The visuals are pretty cool and entertaining.If you smoke weed at the peak you get very very stoned, its quite amazing. The closed eye visuals are insane and overall it is just a great time. Smoking weed on the comedown will help you get to sleep. ANother interesting option is combining 2c-i with Benadry, wow this combo is crazy. It turns your world inside out, very very colorful. The 2c-i stimulation also keeps you from falling asleep because of the benadryl. I would suggest 8-12 pills. Peoples faces turned into demons, and just crazy shit. You also have some crazy auditory hallucinations and you see people that aren't there sometimes. My friends dog actually turned into a person. It was crazy. </DIV>

[hogg]

Dosed 2-ci lasted night.. my first RC .. heres my report.


Substance: 2 caps of 20 mgs 2-ci


Me: very experienced tripper, (shrooms, acid, E, k, G)although new to research chemicals. weight: 155 pounds


K: Basic experience w/ psychadelics (E, LSD, Foxy) But hasn't done each many times. weight: 110 pounds





Recieved and capped up 100mgs of 2-ci into gelatin capsules 20mgs each. I figured this was a good dosage to start with as it is within the recommended 15-30mg range (Erowid). Not too much over a threshold dose to risk any negative side effects overdosing may have on bodyload.


5:23 pm- Ate pills with girlfriend (20mgs each)ran to block buster to get some movies...threw in "meet the fockers" andwaited for effects... The 2-ci came on surprisingly mellow... @ first a "buzzing" like bodyload developed around 30 mins. Like a cross between psilocybin "rush" and an MDMA rolling feeling.


+ 50mins-my visual field began to flow and move.. It was still daylight and everything appeared to glow and be brighterthan usual... I started getting periphreal vision tracers. The room seemed to breathe.


+ 1hr30 mins-My thoughts shifted to a "psychadelic state".. much like shrooms but I was so happy that it seemed no way the trip could go dark... The body load was definately present but it was very pleasent and erotic feeling... like E. Touching my girlfriends skin was awsome.


+ 2 hrs- at thispoint i started to loose track of time.I turned off "meet the fockers" cause it was giving me and K anxiety."Something always goes wrong, I can't watch this shit right now!" K said to me... agreed and we were off to other experiments.


~ 2.5 hrs- K was running around the house like a mad woman... Laughing and tripping.. I was much more mellow w/ the substance.. prefering to watch a movie "lemony Snicketts" &lt;- BTW greatflick to trip with! Until she decovered the shower.


~ 3.5 hrs- The trip kept becoming stronger ... as though we were always coming up. It feels as thought your always on the verge of loosing it.. but you never do. Its very controlable in that sense. Tactile sensation is incredibly erotic.... sex was off the hook. As we barely moved... it wasactual quite intense and very MDMAesque.. we just kind of layed on each other wriggling in ecstasy. bright OEV and CEVsset it in its own category though


~ 4.5 hours- 10 pm still going strong.... crazy peak has worn off.. and much of the manic behavior (Which i feel was more shroom like)k had was gone... but body buzzing was still very present... I could achieve awsome visuals if I stared at something... or could concentrate on the body high... and enjoy it that way. Actually started to watch the movie this time... and got way into it.


~ 5.5 hrs- ordered pizza..starving! wierd to be on a e like substance... and be really hungry... ICe cream was the shit.


~ 6.5 hrssponge bob square pants made me laugh my ass off visuals were almost gone... started to get heat rushes and went from being really hot to really cold... but it wasn't too bad. Still very electric feeling and nice. Although it definatley felt "chemical."


(roomate came home- gave him 17mgs one cap that didn't have a full dose, cause i lost a little in the weighing process)


i was worried about sleeping... althoug i wasn't really tripping hard anymore the body buzz remained very strong. As i had a meeting this morning at 8am. But just enjoyed the feeling.


~7.5 hrs - 10.5 hrs- talked to roomate about what he was about to experience.... "17mgs of effectiveness" is how we put it to him. just kind of layed around and laughed at how funny my roomate was as he was coming up on substance. and then at how bizarre he acted. "rolly chairs! HA!" I felt bad cause he had no one to trip with cause we were going to bed.. and the tactile aspect of this substance is something to be explored. Smoked a bunch (.75 g)of cannabis to calm down and drank a couple (2)glasses of wine.


slept from 4:00 am to about 7:45 and went to work... ouch! Very tired... but don't feel really that messed up as with strong ecstasy. Just kind of dull... Mainly because the visuals were so brilliant from the previous night. This is a very "bright" substance in my book.


experienced a lot of stomach discofort this morning.,.. but it passed. Literally.


Conclusion: Looking back and talking to K about our experience.. we really were impressed w/ 2-ci. It all goes back to the "verge" feeling. Its like you always are about to loose it/come to revalation.. and you never do.. but the feeling as though you are. is always present. In this way it is very positive. Because you learn to trust the substance ... and it dosn't let you down; itstays very light and happy.. thoughts are not at all dark.... although in the come up... I felt like it may go that route. K said she felt like she needed to cry.While i felt really emotional watching the movie. Although It kept going up to a bright visualbuzzing state.. that felt very nice. I recommend it.


I really like how its very fast acting... more like 4-5 hours of tripping.. rather then 8 w/ acid. A very interesting mix of body high and psychadelia... Want to explore further. Next chemicalI wannaresearch may be2-ce.. and see the darker side of this phenethylamine. I consider 5-meo-mipt as well. Happy tripping!Edited by: hogg

dose:15mg 2c-i

other drugs taken: alcohol(1 beer) marijuana (few hits) pepto bismal



Friday was my first 2c-i experience. My friend M's parents were
out of town leaving us alone. Pretty comfortable surrounding,
good state of mind, nice weather. First we drove around and
smoked a few hits and took some pepto to combat the stomach problems
that might come. Then we dosed at 9:00 using the alcohol
meathod. We decided to wait at the house for the effects to come
on to see how we reacted to it and to figure out if we were capable of
going somewhere. i popped in the new Dane Cook dvd and cracked
open a budweizer and started watching. Hillarious comedean
(highly reccomended). After about +1 hour we decided to grab
something to eat. Driving around we noticed lights were all
brighter and M noticed that all he wanted to do while driving was go
fast. M said when at red lights his foot and hand would tingle
and he would just want to take off. Good thing he was smart
enough not to. After we ate M decided to let his urge happen so
we went out to a 1/2 mile strait, unpatroled, empty road and got that
s-10 up to 85. What a rush! The cd we just bought before
hand, sasha - involver really kicked ass on this drug. By this
time (+1:30) we started to feel the x like coming up and decided to go
back to his place to relax while the peak came and to be sure we were
not going to get in a wreck. Dane Cook was put on again and i
must say ive never laughed harder. I said to M, "dude im thinkin
we put on sasha and chill in the dark." All for it, M put in the
cd and we triped out. We saw walls breathing, objects morphing,
curtains waving, ect. It was great. At about +2:15 we knew
we were alright to drive short distances so we went back to our old
toking places and hang out on the golf course. We almost lived
there during the nights a year ago, excellent memories. We walked
around smoking menthols, M thought that a garage light was a moped
coming at us, trees were beautiful, kinda couldnt see totally strait,
had some sasha beat in my head and just feeling great. At +3:00
or so we went to a chicks house. The peak was over. At
around +5 hours we were almost all the way down so we went back to his
place, walked around his neighborhood, toked some more, and went to
sleep. I must say this was one of my favorite trips. We
smoked about half a pack of menthols each that night. I must say
that that sasha - involver was a good choice, i love that opening song
and its "smooth bass line" as we said constantly that night. I
did notice that my pupils didnt dialate too much, is this normal?
I really enjoyed this and i hope to do it more in the future. how
long should i wait to do it again? Im taking m b vitamins to
recover along with a multi

So you took a powerful RC and decided to go for a drive? Where do you live? I'd like to know which jurisdiction is the most likely to pass the legislation that sets the precedent that outlaws 2-CI in the rest of the nation. Of all the....arghhh!!!

[korky8097]

thats why we stayed home during come up and peak, and we drove only
near his house and went home when we felt we werent driving up to
par. Everywhere we went was within a few blocks. Still was a stupid idea i know.
