Time between dosing?

So the Pertinent Purple Platted Platypus who took some 2ci the other week was wondering... How long should he leave between dosing? He doesn't want to fry his brains you see... If you let me know I can pass the message on to my mythical mate

Cheers :2thumbsup:

 

About a week and tolerance should be gone, a month is probably a good amount of time for serious integration. As far as what's mentally healthy thats variable from person to person, some could probably dose 10 times in a two month period and be healthy while others could dose two times in a 10 month period and suffer lasting consequences.

 

He's generally a pretty stable guy, and wasn't planning on hitting it hard this time... You think twice in a month is too much for such a guy? :mickey:

 

That should be fine.

 

Yeah he was thinking a 13 mg dose this time, aiming for a light energetic buzz and mild visuals - you think that would hit the spot?

 

I've never dosed lower than 15 mgs with the stuff, that would provide that type of trip most likely.

 

I dose at least once a week. I don't use the same medicines every week though. I think you should pay attenion to the signals that your mind and body give you to determine what's right for you.

 

Well I'll make sure he lets me know what a dose like that is like, and I'll get back to you then :crowngrin:

Yeah for definite, if you're not sure you can deal with it, don't do it! I am a firm advocate for abstinence when your body calls for it, as is Monsieur Platypus! :sombrero:

 

i think once per month max. i have definitely tripped 2-4 times in a month before, but i felt like it left a long term type of tolerance to tripping in general. now i like to take larger doses less often.

 

Cheers for the input! I think he's just excited because he hasn't tripped in a couple of years, hence wanting to do it again so soon! I think after this he'll be giving it a break for a short while :afro:

 

then i'd suggest he take more than 13 mg. if it's gonna be his last trip for awhile, might as well take a decent dose, trip hard, and wait a few months til the next one.

 

It ended up being between 13-15 mg, and it ended up being an incredibly beautiful trip... How about this for set and setting? The weather was PERFECT, and spring in full bloom:



It started off very light, and 'my mate' was very uninterested in conversation for the first couple of hours, preferring to examine the ruins, and surrounding vegetation, which by all accounts were vibrantly beautiful, and some how more 'alive' than before, visuals were very subtle. At around sundown we left to go back home where we played music, drank beer, smoked bud and let things progress. And progress they did.

With the aid of a disco light, some turntables, and some good friends, the night evolved and mutated into a swirling, pulsing, dancing joy. the bathroom was the place again, which things progressed to another level. The 'smudgy' effect on the tiles led to cascading visuals and the room losing all sense of 'form'. Upon coming downstairs, my GF had made curry - fuck knows how, we were all completely bolloxed - I found on the higher dose, drinking beer was out of the question - bubbles made me feel WEIRD, and cigarette smoke made me gag for some weird reason, this time, I could indulge in what ever I felt like and it only enhanced what I was experiencing.

My friend had a beautiful psychedelic top that she bought in S. America, and we hung it over the disco light. It looked like it was on fire with the most beautiful neon light I had ever seen. We all gathered around it hypnotised for a good half hour or so, the sublime beauty of what was essentially a light shining through a top was completely captivating. the light pulsed through each coloured segment of the top and created an awe inspiring spectacle. Its hard to describe.

The body load was much more manageable on this dose, and the visuals grew to be very intense indeed, with a little help and creativity. Music sounded extraordinary, and after the first couple of hours, social activity always turned to hilarity.

Good times had by all, and something to be repeated. I strongly recommend this dose :sunny:

 

^^what higher dose(s) have you tried?

 

up to around 25 mg but I found the body load / head tension rather uncomfortable at that level. It was also an awesome trip though.

 

cool. i wish i could have really tripped from 25 mg...
have you tried 2ce out of curiosity? what's your dose for that? i like ~18 mg personally

 

Have you tried 2ci?

 

no sir

 

I haven't tried 2CE yet... Just B & I so far. I found 2CI to have a much more significant 'kick' than B, which is much mellower. 25 mg 2CI kept me up for 18 hours, the 'speedyness' was still going long after the visuals stopped, so I'm a little hesitant to do dose that again, where as with B I think I would be fine. I might give 18mg a whirl next time, although 15 was certainly sufficient.

A friend of a friend took 40 mg of 2ci a couple of weeks back, apparently he lost the plot, started a fight with his reflection, and was rolling around with a card board box on the floor for a long time... I personally think he was an idiot for dosing that high (first time), not sure I would have enjoyed being around him off my face lol

 

Mostly this ^ there's no rubric to follow really.

 

Aye, totally agree with you. Its been and gone now, there's a brief TR posted above
