comparing and contrasting the 2c's

Hello,

I have never tried any of the 2c drugs. I am currently researching them. In addition to my research, I would like to ask for others who have had some experiences with them to offer their insight into the similarities and differences between them. Note that the purpose of this thread is to compare and contrast - not to report on any one 2c drug by itself (although any information would be useful - I just don't want readers to lose sight of the point).

Things that would be useful might include the experience itself, onset time, duration, best method of consumption, after effects, side effects (i.e. bodily), etc.

In general, I'm wondering if the 2c's can (more or less) be described as roughly the same, or are they wildly different drugs.

 

umm why not read other posts..google too..not that hard

 

what is a 2c?

 

Yea, there are a bunch of threads on this subject recently. You need to search here more and read trip reports.

 

i've only tried 2ce (many times) and 2cb (twice), so i can't compare or contrast much, but...

2ce is a stronger trip, more "deep" or introspective. it can generally cause more nausea. you need a lower dose. it gives more visuals. it lasts longer.
2cb is more mellow or "recreational." the visuals weren't very pronounced for me, but i could see details in slow motion. whereas with 2ce i get melting and shifting and AMAZING closed eye visuals.

music is way better on 2ce IMO

"onset time, duration, best method of consumption, after effects, side effects (i.e. bodily), etc."

i think the best and only method of consumption should be oral ingestion. it's the safest and it works. some people like snorting them, but it hurts like hell and it passes "1st pass metabolism" so is potentially more dangerous. some people prefer rectal admin b/c it apparently causes less of a body load (use 1/2 an oral dose to snort or plug)

orally, they all take about an hour to kick in. some are shorter and some are longer though.
2ce came with more after/side effects for me. headache on the comedown and morning after. gut aches on the comedown. possible prolonged GI issues? 2cb was more benign feeling, but less of a trip too.

overall, the 2cxs are similar to each other. but there are some pretty decent differences from my limited experience, but extensive reading. and that's really what you need to do, just go read about all of them. no one else is gonna reply to this thread. hope i answered some of your questions.

 

I've done 2ce, 2cb, and 2ci each twice.

Porkstock pretty much was right on with 2cb and 2ce. The only thing I'll note though is in my experience 2cb doesn't feel mellow at all, it's pretty stimulating just not as overwhelming as 2ce at relative doses.

2ci has an aspect about it that reminds me of mushrooms. Although 2ci has a metallic 'futuristic' feel to it unlike the earthy quality of mushrooms. It's less visual than 2ce but does not have stomach cramps. I have got a headache once from 2ci but not the other time.

You can look up dosages yourself and go from there:
Duration
2cb: 4.50 hrs
2ci: 6-8 hrs
2ce: 6-10 hrs

These times are from my experience, and considerably higher and lower dosages would effect this duration.
