Preface: I didn’t really intend on detailing the experience but got started typing and couldn’t stop. All in all, snort with distilled water to heavily minimize burn, and get ready to blast the fuck off. Beware the body tingles.
I decided to try snorting last evening and after reading a little bit on how to make a solution, I decided to just rail up ~8-10mg, and add 2 drops of distilled water from a straw. Then lined the mini-solution back up as best as I could and to the dome it went with a straw. I got most of it in one go and went back once for the leftovers.
The burn was very very manageable imo, there was some burn but it dissipated over a couple minutes to a fair tingle, then turned into a slight pressure that was also not bad at all. Even my wife who NEVER snorts stuff did it and didn’t mention anything about the burn.
I’ve never snorted 2cb before so I don’t know if it was truly better or worse than without the water, but I have snorted straight up 2ci a couple times in my younger & dumber days, and it was light years easier than that.
Within 10 minutes I was having potentially the strongest experience I’ve had on 2cb. Everything was alive, patterns on surfaces, strobing peripheral vision, CEVs, noticeable chasers. The visuals were pretty beautiful.
I knew the visuals would come a bit stronger from reading reports but the “body high” is what really took me by surprise though, concentrated areas of my body were tingling as if they’d fallen asleep. I experienced some muscle tension in the hands and lips, which was pretty unsettling at the time.
I had not drank much water during the day so I may have been a little dehydrated, but I would be aware that it is a possible side effect. It did pass once the peak started leveling off. Focusing on my breathing seemed to help. There was still a little bit of nausea but a ginger chew seemed to clear it up.
I would consider the previous aspects a bit jarring personally, but between those sensations I would get waves of a sort of mdma like body high, it was a vague similarity and the first time I’d felt it. Felt pretttty good.
We had music going in one room (JRAD) and the TV with the Animatrix playing in the living room (cus we like to party), so the audio would kind of conflict at times but I swear I occasionally had some slight auditory distortions and would hear a humming/low frequency vibrating type sound every now and then during the peak but I didn’t decide focus too heavily on it. It may have just been distant ambient noises that were amplified.
The headspace was basically normal throughout. Some of the body sensations had me a little anxious but once things started leveling a bit, it was all good.
This provides what was easily the most vivid visuals I’ve ever had from 2cb. Very similar to acid, but very digitalesque. At times, my peripherals would be akin to how a tube TV or a computer monitor looks when you’re filming it on a phone camera - the way the pixels kinda cancel each other out and looks like there are wavy lines moving up or down the screen. Was very interesting. Everything was shifting down and up, everything was drifting in the wind. At one point, we threw on Parks And Rec and everything looked like it was being run through the light glossy paint filter on the Prisma app. Giggles felt amazing.
We topped it all off with some nitrous after a couple hours and my body sensations became very enjoyable. Then topped that off with some K (~45mg) and I just felt fuzzy and light.
The comedown was nice and there was a sense of accomplishment lol one of my favorite parts of the psychedelic experience is knowing you’ve taken the plunge and pulled through. Granted 2cb is way light in comparison to others, but this was quite intense.
The experience was about 3 hours long of noticeable effects with about 45 mins of tail end residual visuals.
Will be trying again I’d reckon and wanted to share the experience/water tip to yall. Happy tripping!
