Today it was my friend K's birthday and I was lucky enough to be chosen to celebrate this day of her birth with her. We made prior arrangements to try 2cb, a chemical which she had no experience with but having prior experience with MDMA and 2ci, I gave her a description of the effects and she got the general gist of what to expect. She came over at 12:45 in the afternoon and we basically wasted no time in getting into the 2cb. We each took roughly 20 mgs and then just lay down for the comeup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9S7bVzEQwE"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9S7bVzEQwE At around 45 minutes the initial alerts came on and it was a slight lethargy accompanied with increased tactile sensitivity. I ran my hand slowly through K's hair which made her close her eyes and slightly clench in euphoria and slowly hold and release breaths with every stroke of my hand. A few minutes later she returned the favor on my stomach and down my leg. The tactile feeling was not overwhelming but it felt like a new dimension to the sensations had taken place, as if there was some alternate pleasure receptors I had located on my stomach and legs that I had yet to discover in a sober state of mind. I proceeded to turn some psybient music on and thus kind of set the stage for the sexual endeavors about to take place. We both got naked and wasted very little time before engaging in intercourse. There is a very balanced sexual character to this compound, I wasn't interested in the touching, caressing and overly sensual tactile foreplay of MDMA nor did I have a complete animal release like I tend to do with LSD and just want to 'fuck' but it was more a desire to be connected with the beat in rhythmic thrusts and timing but stay controlled and refraining a bit from giving in to purely animal instincts. After the sex we relaxed and basked in post intercourse afterglow and at this point subtle visual effects started to appear. I saw with my eyes closed white geometric lines that weren't particularly structured, just kind of present. K felt very relaxed but I had a bit of energy so I went and got my little glow lights out which I had not played with for awhile and started giving K and myself a light show to some drum n bass. The red and blue lights did not have lengthy trails like on MDMA but they did have after images present which maintained in the center and front of my body and I would slice through on my way back around with the lights creating a whole different set of after images. K mentioned that some of the after images appeared like fireworks in that the after images would kind of fall and sparkle their way out of existence. I got slightly disassociated with the lights and K all of a sudden looked as if she was about 20 feet away instead of 5 feet away. After about 2 songs of playing with the lights I convinced K to get up and to go for a walk with me as I thought the color distortion would be much more present outside then in my dim lit room. As we walked outside I noticed right away Blue in particular but also red, yellow, and green colors were significantly brighter. This compound seems to make primary colors really stand out. As we were walking I was doing the majority of the talking and I was asking K if she was enjoying herself or what was going on as she was not really saying much at all which is unlike her when we hang out together. She said that all her thoughts seemed to be rapidly changing and that she felt like if she tried to talk 'word vomit' would come out of her mouth. I understood exactly what she was saying, I have found on 2cb that my thoughts are constantly flowing but much of the time it's not really pertinent to anything going on around me. I don't really find this chemical to be useful at this dose or I would be willing to bet any dose within range of it to have profound realizations and self discovery on. Thoughts just flow through your mind and are often completely not related material or material that takes the focus on a completely different tangent. For instance I was thinking about shooting basketball for a moment, but then I would all of a sudden think about all the sports I could play at the moment, there didn't really seem to be any sort of consistency in my thought just a vague linking relation between them. The walk was nice though with the color intensification, at ease feeling and whimsical thoughts and character of 2cb. We went down the trail near my house saw some butterflies fly around, some lizards on the ground and I was just embracing the great weather and company. There was a sense of distance from the industrial uniformity of my townhomes and apartment area, as all we could make out of society was a freeway off on the far horizon. We didn't stay out for that long and when we went back K wanted to lay down again. I chose to play some guitar, I played 'Wanted Dead or Alive' by Jon Bovi a kind of cheesy song but a really fun one to play on the acoustic. I also proceeded to mime over 'What's my Name' by Snoop Dogg and even rapped the last chorus out loud because K didn't think I really knew the words and she didn't even know what hit her when I pulled out my killer flow on the last verse I then even played 'Birthday' by The Beatles in Celebration of K's birthday which made her smile and roll her eyes. After the silliness of a few songs I turned on the computer visualizer and spaced out to a few songs on there. I really enjoy watching computer visualizers on 2cb, it has this really structured quality where the colors and patterns almost jump off the screen for you and seems tailor made for doing such an activity. It's kind of a weird aspect to compare it too, but since I find these other two more preferable drugs overall ill give 2cb it's due here, watching the computer visualizations on 2cb is better than watching it on MDMA or LSD even. After I watched the visualizations, K and I had sex one more time. This time it had more of animalistic feel to it as the music that was on was more upbeat and bass driven. After the sex was over I got my first and only really defined closed eye visual of the day which was this White glowing eyeball which has some sort of tree or bush in the center of it. It only maintained itself for no more than 5 seconds but was really really cool and surprised me a bit. After that the effects slowly tapered off and we headed to get get some food. 2cb is an interesting psychedelic to explore, I would be very interested in a heroic dose of it by myself sometime but I enjoyed this moderate oral dose of it too. It's certainly nothing I would recommend to anyone looking to have a life changing, mind blowing experience but it does maintain a lot of the preferable aspects of phenethylamines and has a quite serene feeling to it. At this dose it's a psychedelic I would have no problem giving to any of my friends really and hanging out at the pool, park, trails, or somewhere in public without feeling like I would have to watch out for any of their well being. Shulgin and some others i've read who have discussed it's effects, have made remarks about it's erotic aspects and no doubt it certainly has a sensual aspect to it and it 'enhanced' the sex but I find a certain undefinable lacking quality to it that does not quite match the amazing aphrodisac power and energies that mescaline cactus has . That being said it was a very enjoyable afternoon and K said that she enjoyed her birthday festivities.
Sounds like a lovely time. I have still only tried 2c-b once and felt a bit awkward. Shermin says it was probably because I was just sitting around and talking with him and our other friend instead of really DOING anything. I really wish I could enjoy the expeirience of sex on psychedelics. When I take them I feel like a five year old who would probably be scarred for life by any sexual act. But anyway that is just me rambling. It sounds like this was a really interesting trip and I enjoyed reading about it!
What dose did you try it at? I really recommend the visualizer if you decide to give 2cb another go and are just hanging out.
Uhhhh somplace between 23 and 25 though I think it was 23. Shermin would remember. I definitely think it is worth trying again. I had fun last time, but felt that my night could have been equally pleasant without it. Maybe a bit less confusing too. But I think it was just the time and place and mood (which I suppose are all part of the environment).
another nice report gbl. i totally agree it's a sexual enhancer but not like shulgin described it as. the first time me and my girl tried it together it was quite like your experience including watching visual effects on my xbox360 and some glow sticks.2cb is one of the best rc's to chill with friends and have a good time. I find it quite easy to converse on 2cb though, not the scrambled thoughts that tryptamines sometimes give you. I can't wait to get more cause 30 mg is my highest dose but I would love to try 50 some day.
I agree, there are not really any intrusive/scrambeled thoughts that pop into your head like tryptamines or thought loops really and I do find it quite easy to talk on as well. Whimsical is my best word to describe the thoughts, like I seemed to complete a thought then jumped onto another thought and complete that one path and chain of thoughts when very little linked them, but it was not frustrating to me either, even fairly enjoyable and kinda funny at times and fairly easy to dismiss and move on with the experience. It's a really specific aspect of the experience to dissect and probably would go unnoticed to many people not really looking for it, perhaps some people are even effected differently but it's one of those kinds of features that makes a distinction of phenethylamines from tryptamines and possibly even more closely related substances like 2cb from 2ci.
the words "naked" and "love" have only been used in this report once... the word "orgasm" was not used at all... I want my money back for this movie.. no xxx.. this movie was PG.. :leaving:
