Meh experience with 2C-I
This is my first phen, and I should have perhaps gone with 2C-B or 2C-E but I read somewhere that microdoses of I are great for a little pick me up/ alerting so I went with that instead.
T 00: I measured out 5 mg using volumetric dosing and used sublingual ROA . Immediately I get an alerting rushy feeling I got with say methylphenidate but dirtier, it was not localised cerebrally but was stimulating my entire body. I didnt like this effect, but I reasoned that at higher doses the psychedelic effect would perhaps overpower this feeling and maybe integrate it better.
T 030: I measure out another 5 and drop sublingual.
T 60 : Colour saturation is strong, shitty body load from the rushy feeling still not subsiding or leading to somewhere, its just in the background muddying the experience.
T 90: Peak starts, colour saturation, tracers, mild OEVs reminiscent of a 70 mcg LSD trip but no CEVs.
T 120: The shitty body load is taxing me, I decide to bust a nut to just not let the experience fuck me completely. The nut was very very good almost worth the price of admission, fiendish but not too much, very modulable kinda nut.
T 180 : I decide to maybe watch a film but I just can;t .the edginess makes me want to walk it off or not able to completely immerse myself in a film like with LSD.
T 220 : I found it makes me more social sure, but not very strong altered thinking pathways or multiple streams of thought, more like a sensual enhancer, had no empathogenic properties to me even less than with LSD. Higher baseline anxiety whether from 5 ht2c agonism or the noradrenergic effect not sure, shitty either way
T 260: Typing this now, this substance had some potential - the headspace was great that despite the psychedelia , confusion/ego dissolution etc was null but the speedy effect just fucks everything up. Ive considered a beta blocker next time but honestly Ill either just microdose this stuff as a pick me up or combine with LSD rather than try to achieve its own psychedelic effects. Pretty dissapointing. Nut was amazing tho, music was good but I have had better music experiences just with ketamine low doses. If the speedy effect was maybe less or confined to a cerebral effect it would have been nice, but the body load is just not worth it IMO. Complete inability to sit and relish in something, its either typing out shit like this or stimtalking with someone on discord,dissapointed but atleast Ik where I stand, stims dont seem to do well with me. I guess I should experiment with 4 ho met or something rather than phens.
