About 2 weeks ago, I finally tried 2C-D. This was on my list for being a light, fun psychedelic with little to no headspace. Because I am fairly sensitive to psychs, this seemed like the perfect compound to research. After reagent testing my sample and confirming its identity, I did an allergy test a few days before the planned trip day. All was well so I mentally prepared myself. On the trip day, me and a friend planned a hike into a local canyon (hiking is one of my favorite trip activities). He was also tripping but took some proscaline instead. As we were leaving the house, we took the gel caps. The dose I decided on was 40mg. This dose was around the midrange of Shulgin's reports and the effects reported from some online trip reports seemed good. We got to the trail and started off.
After about 30-45 minutes, I started coming up. At 1 hour, things were getting intense with some mindfuckery. Skin sensation was also getting enhanced and clothes felt odd. We had to cross a running stream by hopping across rocks, and for a moment I forgot how to jump! We were talking and laughing and having a great time. Even though it was fairly clearheaded, there was a very noticeable mood lift. I felt amazing and was extremely happy. There were no major visuals but everything had a sparkly and somewhat wavy effect to it. I took great pleasure in climbing to the top of some rocks and looking out over the whole area. We finally got to the endpoint at some waterfalls and it was so goddamn beautiful. We stopped to have lunch and turned back. By this time, about 2.5 hours in, the effects started dropping off. When we got back to the car, my trip was pretty much over, so I took care of my bro who was still tripping. We went home and chilled for a while. I felt extremely content and at peace with everything.
If you have the chance to try this compound, I highly recommend it! It is reported at higher doses (100mg) it becomes more visually active so I might go higher next time. It is light experience so it will disappoint if you are looking for something really heavy. Even though it is pretty rare, I would definitely have this as an introduction to psychedelics.
