Nothing hit until around an hour in. I took half of the 25mg pill on an empty stomach. I was extremely nervous for this trip and I'm really glad I went for something softer and less intense for this trip. My last trip - an acid trip about 5 months ago - was really, really intense. I wouldn't call it a bad trip, however, it made for a fairly unpleasant experience for most of it. In order to calm the nerves I drank about half a beer, this honestly did the trick, I highly recommend it to anyone with heavy pre-trip nerves, it relaxed me a lot.
The first signs of the 2-CB kicking in was some slight dizziness, a tiny bit of nausea (both for only 10-20 mins) and extreme colour enhancements (the come-up isn't great). However, with it being a fairly warm summer's evening, I decided to take things to the garden. I lit up the fire pit and watched the flames and looked at the many variety of flowers in all their glorious colours. The grass was insanely green. I watched the clouds beginning to morph together infant of the bright blue sky. However, with things beginning to morph, I thought it'd be sensible to go back inside and keep away from an open fire...just in case things took an unexpected turn.
I went to my room and put on my headphones. I listened to a playlist full of my favourite songs by an amazing band call Babe Rainbow. If you like psych rock and just some chill music in general, check them out, they're great! With my headphones on I noticed how incredible random things around my house felt and how clear and bright things were. After checking out every smooth corner and soft ledge, I turned to the huge psychedelic tapestry I have hung on my wall..this is where things got really cool.
I sat with my headphones on and the patterns began spinning in many directions and went perfectly with the music. However, it wasn't like the intense visuals of an acid trip where you completely loose your mind in the patterns, infact I felt pretty sober. That being said, I was definatly peaking at this point. As I watched things move and morph and spin, I felt tingles of electric euphoria throughout my body. This was by far the most intense feeling of the whole trip. It felt as though it was pinning me to the ground and even made me a little nauseous. Unfortunately this wonderful feeling only lasted roughly 20 minutes, from there, only a comfortable headspace and nice visuals remained. As I was slightly disappointed, I decided to see what all the fuss was about with my dick...its fucking incredible I came the entire universe...
As good as it was, after climaxing I felt the effects wear off quite a bit. I've experienced this with acid before and I don't know why it happens? I guess if your every losing your ego just strangle the chicken lol.
I was offered to trip with my girlfriend but I turned this offer down as I really wanted to see how introspective this drug could get. I wanted to tackle my fear of death which is always lingering over me. I really felt a sense of understanding when questioning existence as a whole and the importance of letting the ego go. This drug may not be as strong as LSD or mushrooms, however, I believe it can be just as wise.
To my surprise, everything was pretty much over within 4hours. I'm assuming this was due to the beer and I had just returned from a long travel and had hardly any sleep before the trip began so my tiredness may have taken over. I only took 15mg anyway. To ensure that I'd fall asleep quickly, I drank the other half of the beer and went in the shower. The water still felt amazing on my body. I slept really well and woke up with a pretty nice after-glow: good mood, nice colours and some great sounding music.
Overall, i'm really glad I did this before my next LSD trip as its eased me back into the psychedelic world quite nicely after a poor experience 5 months ago. I strongly urge anyone who's had a bad trip and is considering tripping again to take a little 2-CB, its really chill and doesn't blow your mind, plus with a bit of alcohol, it can all be over fairly quickly. That being said, if you're an experienced, strong psychonaut, I'd say its a bit underwhelming, however, at higher doses, i'm sure there's more to offer. Im thinking of doing 25mg pretty soon to further break me back into acid etc.
