First time 2C-I. Any advice or tips?

Hi guys,

I will be doing 2C-I in the near future and it would be my first ever experience with any hallucinogen and I would appreciate it if you guys give me some advice/tips on it.

I heard the common dose is around ~15mg, and I'm wondering what dose should I do?

Also, what's the difference in effects and duration between insufflating it or just bombing it?

Can I look / act sober around other people?

Thanks!

 

This is not the kind of stuff you want to put in your nose, especially as a first timer. I've snorted just about everything under the sun and 2Cs cause, imo, the most unbearable displeasure when snorted. And that's putting it lightly... When I tell people about the one and only time I snorted a 2C I refer to it as feeling like having a railroad tie shoved through my nose and out the back of my head.

That being said, my preferred way to dose is diluted in water. Many argue that you are potentially losing some potency due to residual loss... but I trip every time I do it, so I'm not complaining. I use to do veggie cap doses, but they take to long to dissolve. If you get it in a veggie cap, I strongly suggest opening it carefully before you take it orally to bypass the dissolve time.

In my experience with 2Cs, I is the more friendly. 2CE will rip your balls off, and 2CB is not far behind. I suggest a 20 mg dose for profound effects.

Also remember, that the higher you dose, the less of YOU there is to care about what the feelings are; I always suggest a dose a little over the commonly recommended in order to really break free into the trip... and taking a dose that is threshold mg or lower can often lead is discomfort because of its still very attached to reality.

You will love it
Just go for it
and weed will be your best friend, so don't pack lightly

 

I find looking/acting sober whilst tripping nigh impossible.

 

Supposing its good stuff, 15mg should be awesome for a first trip. My first was around 25 mg (http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=423932&f=126) - having snorted 2CB a few times before, and it feeling like being shot in the face each time, I bombed it, which probably led to the longer come up, and longer peak than other reports suggest... You will get more or your money so to speak by swallowing it...

And trying to act sober while tripping may prove a challenge, particularly if you are new to it! Its best to be among friends where you can do / say what ever feels natural at the time...

Enjoy!

 

I find 2c-i to be such a friendly substance I would suggest a minimum of 20mg even for the first attempt. You know what your comfort level is though and these substances should always be repsected. The most important thing is that your set and setting are good. I love going to the movies while tripping on 2c's. You don't have to act normal while in a nearly deserted movie theatre.

 

...when a virgin tripper. Everything may be so new/different/profound that you can't help but have the feeling you are experiencing a life-changing event and that the need or desire to 'look/act sober' may suddenly slip down to 5 or 6 on your list of priorities behind trying to walk across a grass field without being sucked into a prone position laying comfortably on its cushion after considering that stomping across the field hurts your feet and the grass you are treading on.

A buddy of my altered his reality to meet his psychedelic lifestyle. He was one of those oversized cartoon mascots for 'no name' (to protect the innocent) that wear the full-body costume suit and play the role of a fantasy creature. So it was never 'not normal' for him to act goofy, overly friendly with women and children - and ready to pull a prank on a macho guy to amuse everyone while gaining enough attention that he had plenty of witnessess if he was assaulted. If he came to work too sober - everyone would wonder what happened, his grandmaw die? He's gotta keep his cheer up or they're apt find a new and improved 'goofy'. :mickey:

Experienced trippers may have reached maybe places in mind and spirit and don't find them _trapped_ in the 'abyss', 'void', or 'otherworld'. I've heard legends of people doing their lives best work while under the influence of lsd for example. Personally, I've known ladies who had a much better day when their coworkers are currently tripping. However, tripping hard at a holiday family reunion dinnertime with your father the pastor, if you're only 14 years old ... while not impossible - is just flirting with danger.:sunny:

"Judy! Yanno Bob? I just walked by his office and he pulled me inside to talk about the flower in his windowsill and how he sometimes wishes he too could be such a perfect being. AND then, before I left, he said he'd never seen hair so beautiful as mine and told me that sometimes when he dreams, it seems like his fingers are running through my hair. Then he made a step towards me and I'd usually be scared, but the look in his eyes and his movement of the hand was a look of such childlike love I was petrified with anxiousness. Who knew Bob had it in him to have feelings and could think outside of columns and rows of numbers???? teehee"

Judy: *jealous*

 

Well I dunno, I've tripped plenty of times and still find it quite difficult to 'act normal' around the sober public. Maybe when you're hardcore it's easier.

 

I've been off my nuts on 2CB at Kansas City Mall for about 8 hours.... So it can be done

 

For sure for sure I said nigh impossible, not impossible.

A lot of it can be ascribed to just thinking that you must look like you're acting weird when really people probably have no idea you're on drugs.
