Warning : I did not use responsibly, meaning I do not know the dosage I took. After reading about 2cb I felt prepared to handle whatever it threw at me given my psychedelic history. However, I do not it was not more than 30 milligrams and thags pushing the high end.
I do not condone this behavior, but we all kmow what we can handle and or prepare for.
Let the trip report begin.
Method of ingestion, insuflattion.
Let me start by saying, for me, 2cb was a walk in the park to snort. And I don't snort substances but maybe once every 2 years. I have snorted mdma, bean and crystal, which to me was so much worse. However, for the other 2 I was with, it burned there noses badly, and it gave them a very bad drip. For me it really was not bad at all.
T - 11:04 (dosage unknown) we snort half of the 2cb Hbr powder. I feel vasoconstriction result within 5 mins, as well as overall anxiety/ excitement from the experience. However, no visual effects. My body is just shivering a little, as my other 2 friends are launched into different worlds. I am relaxed, and wondering if it will work for me.
T - 11:15 Ok I feel my throat/nasal capillaries slightly burning, but hardly noticeable. I also notice thick mucous in the back of my throat, making it kind of hard to swallow, but nothing to bad. We had cold peppermint tea which helped clear everything up. Slight waves on my carpet appear, but nothing near what my friends are explaining.
T - 11:45 I am about ready to snort the other half, doubling my current dose. As I go to do this, I notice what I call permagrin. A smile plastered onto my face, which no matter what will not go away. I feel the energy rising up my spine, like its the serotonin from my stomach rising into my brain causing this smile. The upward flow of energy. I then look at the book the 2cb powder aka space dust is on, and realize how hard I am actually tripping now. The visual distortions are amazing, warping and bending all around. With an expanded headspace that is psychedelic like, but a euphoria which to me was phenomenal. Ohhh so this is what ive always wanted mdma to be like.
T - 12:30 my friends and I literally stood in the kitchen amazed at how hard we were tripping since 11:45 debating to snort the other half, with bassnectars journey through the universe playing in the background. We were all like should we? Should we? No one wanted to peer pressure each other into snorting the second half, but we all wanted to do it lol. Laughing, giggling, playfully bickering back and forth we decide eh fuck it nows better then ever. So we all snort the second half.
Holy shit. This time I come up hard. Yes. This is what I was waiting for. This surpasses my expectations. Hello 2cb pleasure to fully meet you. My heart rate rises immediately, my extremities tingle so slightly. After I snorted this line, I saw stars falling out of my nose, seriously. Little stars. Hence the space dust, as well as bassnectars journey through the universe im sure.
We sit and put on a super random music video. The girl in it was like 16, and her hair turned i to pointy ends expanding outward, she was turning demonic for sure it was cool. It creeped my friends out though so I decided we could go for a walk and adjust real quick.
Theres twinkles happening all over my field of view, the ground is super detailed and riveted. Borderline ego death sensations are occurring. Ive forgotten words to things, starting to forget who I am. Oh I love this feeling. I feep my ego start to battle for life. I told my friends to trust me, that I could walk us through public area and guide us appropriately so I would do it. I live in a large apartment complex, and theres a covered spot over a lake with a water fountain I was bringing us to. We made up stories if anyone approached us, we decided oh we are just drunk and looking for our juuls (which none of us drink or smoke juuls lol). But we knew society is accepting of those things and heaven forbid you tell someone youre tripping out on 2cb lmao.
These stories never had to be used though as I safely escorted us. We start to think about how uncultured we are having never been out of america. But also, it would all be the same, if we werent willing to change. You must change yourself or it will all be the same. Had confusion about location, and points in time. The eternal present was showing its glory as here and now is all there is. Sitting on this bench i could feel parallel dimensions occuring outside of my line of sight. The bench table was waving greatly. Still feeling stages of ego death. My friends want to continue walking, so we decide to head back to the apartment.
There are people out so we act like we are looking for something in our car first in an attempt to seem "normal" lol. We then head back upstairs into my apartment. Upon entering I see the flower of life circular geometry all over my carpet. It is beautiful.
We check the time. 1:11 am it says. Oh sweet synchronicites, we are in the right flow. I also did some shamanic rattling with my friends which we all seemed to really enjoy. Shamanic tools have such a wonderful sacred power to them it really is magical. I look into close eyed visuals at this time. I see the DNA helix spiraling and zoom into it. Within the DNA I see faces of "ascended masters", and joined them. They told me we are always healing, always raising consciousness, you have nothing to worry about, we are always doing our job, and you are here with us helping and thus is good. There were rainbows all around the dna, and the DNA was mainly blue. This was all on the top half of the DNA. On the bottom of the DNA was darkness. It was childlike darkness though. Acting a fool, being wreckless. Even still tjis was good. It was acting this way to keep the other side of the DNA on its toes so to speak. So it has something to make it stronger. Also, the friction between the two side are what propelled this DNA into higher and higher forms. It was this polarity that allowed the DNA to keep spiraling up.
I came out of this trance. At this point I should have let go fully. I felt my spine blaring with energy. Just waiting for me to love it enough to let go. I felt it pouring out of my heart center from the base of my spine just waiting for me to let go. I didnt, out of fear of what the people I was with would think. I wouldnt mind wriggling around on the floor maybe babbling a little, rising and rising. But i knew the people I was with wouldnt be open to that unfortunately. Reasons I like to trip alone.
So instead, I meditated, and did my moolah band. I was healing my "chakras". I felt energy fill my root, my perineum area. Allowed it to rise up my spine and heal the rest of my body too. This was intense energy. Feeling my scrotum fill with prana, distributing it through the rest of my body too. All the chakras turned into one, no one was different than the other.
Back into visuals over sensations I went to. I saw light on one side. And darkness on the other. I need to face the darkness i thought. So i went down, and deep into it. I saw monster God forms. Demons to others. Sharp teeth and mouths at four corners leading to the center of the darkness. But there was no fear with these figures. I enjoyed them and they served there purpose. Almost like Kali from the hindu religion. It was empowering as I am attempting to integrate my shadow self more and more.
Upon opening my eyes the visuals were intense and lovely. It was amazing the clear headspace too, the ability to adequetly express thoughts and hold conversations also. The open eyed visuals were pastel like, like a van gogh painting kind of. As edges also dissappeared and reality was melding into one. Glorious.
We then all meditated again. I was in samadhi as some might say. Nirvana. Heaven. Shrouded in white light visiting the land of the Gods. I saw myself as a cross shrouded by light in DNA again rising up. Then it was just with the Gods again. Smile still on my face. Glory glory glory. Meditating not a care in the world for the outter world. Just meditating. My other friend was uncomfortable with this meditation but mt other friend enjoyed it too.
We sat and talked some friendly psychotherapy type stuff. Delving kind of deep like friends do. One of my friends went to bed. I stayed up with the other. We listened to pain without love by 3 days grace. Cause id rather feel pain then nothing at all. I check the clock again.
3:33 am. Wow another synchronocity shocker lol. These happen so much to me I dont ecen really look at time to much anymore except to go to and from work. It doesnt matter to me its all the same. Its always now. But I decide to go to bed. I rest with my visuals and enjoy them. I enjoy the dark and the light now. They are of the same thing. Attempting to leave duality behind and 2cb is helping.
Overall I love 2cb and highly reccomend it to fellow psychonauts who have yet to try it. I look forward to mixing it with other substances, and if you read this far thank you. I know its a lot, but this skims the surface of the entire experience. It was amazing. Better than MDMA in my opinion. Again i loved it. Thank you 2cb and thank you psychonautical community :)
