18mg of 2C-E in a capsule. Come-up was slow (90 minutes) with significant nausea — worse than other 2C compounds. Had ginger tea prepared which helped.
Once the nausea passed, the experience was remarkable. 2C-E has been called 'the teacher' and I understand why. Unlike the visual candy of 2C-B, this substance pushes you into analytical, introspective territory. I found myself examining my behavior patterns and relationships with unusual clarity.
Visuals were present but secondary to the cognitive effects. Patterns on surfaces, enhanced colors, but the headspace was the main event. Deep, sometimes uncomfortable, always insightful.
Duration was about 8 hours, longer than expected. The intensity can fluctuate in waves — just when you think it's fading, another wave arrives. This unpredictability requires patience and surrender. A challenging but rewarding substance for experienced users.
