I've decided to report about my experience with 2CP because after reading many others on here, mine seemed a bit different. So here goes my 2 cents.

Some background: I've mostly been an mj smoker and an e-tard for more than 8 years at the time I took this. I've taken thousands of pills, literally, until one day gave it up because I realized I would never feel the peak again no matter how many I took. This has been the only amphetamine type of substance I'm most familiar with. I have taken acid tens of times, shrooms also, addy's and meth, as well as mixing some together before numerous times, which produced great memories for me. I have tried 2CB once which was cool, GHB, and probably a few others I'm forgetting but I guess they never stood out to me personally.

I never had a bad trip before; the closest was acid when out of nowhere a lot of the insecurities I hid from everyone, including myself, hit me like a brick, mentally, and with it came a really painful knocking sensation on my head until I realized everyone has them and that acid had that type of effect. This all occurred within probably 5 minutes, all in my head, but on the outside I was calm and silent except for me reaching for the back of my head and rubbing it with a frown. I've had what many have termed an ego loss off of shrooms, and the first time I dropped E I felt the effects for more than 2 days straight (probably from smoking a bunch of herb all night with it), and my friends call me a lightweight and sensitive to chemicals. I consider mj pretty weak to the drugs described above, so I won't bother with my experience with it (though mixing it with the above drugs make the trips MUCH stronger).

This was 2 years ago, when I was hanging out at my usual spot and taking a break between classes at a university with my gf. A friend I knew, who I usually talk to all the time about drugs and random other stuff, one day asked me if I've ever tried 2CP. I said no, proceeded to ask about it, and from my own knowledge I've read a lot about the 2C's but have only tried 2CB, and we hit it off for awhile until he asked me to come by the next day and he would give me some because he didn't want it. So the following day, which was a Friday, he gave me one. We talked for a bit, then I drove home with my gf.

It was an orange, see-through gel cap type of pill with tiny white and off-white clear crystals inside, with a lot of it stuck on the sides, inside the pill. I studied it under a lamp and read up on it before taking it. I was apprehensive at first because the OD threshold is really narrow, and we're talking about literally the amount of a pinch of salt or two, so to play it safe I eyeballed a third of the drug that WASN'T stuck on the inside. So, at most it was 5mg. I think it was around 9pm or so, and after waiting around for about 3 hours while talking with my gf and reading up the literature on it, I barely felt anything.

It was reminiscent of taking a low dose of shrooms and E where my body temp goes up just a little bit, slight visuals and no CEV's at all, some slight tracers and lamps and light bulbs producing that glow that comes with pupil dilation, some euphoria and what I'd call a 'head change.' It's a term my friends and I used to say how effed up we were on weed, where head change is underwhelming, high is high, faded is the next level, and then stoned is the highest. So that >5mg produced a head change type of level at best throughout that entire night. I'm usually nocturnal, while my gf is the opposite as she usually sleeps around 11pm and wakes up early like 7am, so I fell asleep around 10am after telling her how disappointing the 'trip' was, woke up around 4pm Saturday, feeling completely sober and a bit disappointed. I'm usually able to trip hard over low doses, esp. If it's my first time trying a new drug/chem, so this wasn't expected.



9pm: Took the whole pill, probably 10mg or a bit more, not sure since I don't have a skeez. Drove home.

10pm-I was in my room with my gf, completely dark except for the light coming from our laptops, and I felt the hair raise on the back of my neck, and the rush of warmth from around my chest area and up my neck. Immediately, I felt that it was due to the 2CP. The come up was starting already, which excited me. I went out to have a cig, which I use as a barometer of how effed up I am because as a long time cig smoker, it definitely tastes and feels different off of different drugs. At that particular time, it tasted full and a bit nasty, but for some reason it made me want more. Like I wasn't getting enough.

11pm-it's hard to describe, but the come up was getting stronger. I remember having slight tinnitus, and in the dark in my room it felt like it was getting hot and stuffy, and my palms were starting to sweat, similar to how E does that to me, and there was an obvious head and body high that kept getting stronger but it felt very...unique, a synthetic and artificial high feeling if you will, but very strong. My breathing was fine but for some reason, it felt hollow and I had a chemical-like taste in the back of my mouth. By this time, my gf asked me if I was okay because I had stopped moving/typing/doing anything, I guess I sat there frozen but I told her I was fine.

12am-Damn, this shit is strong. So strong, I had to take one. I had some explosive diarrhea, and I knew it was because of the 2CP I had taken. I almost couldn't hold it, which has never happened to me before. But while sitting there, the high got stronger, and what will become a theme for the night, right in front of me on the bathroom wall, a white painted wall, blue and red lines were forming, criss crossing, into my field of vision but especially on white walls. Cool, I thought, some OEV's finally. After my dump, maybe 5 or 10 minutes which felt like half an hour, I got back to my room and walked around and over some obstacles in the way. My gf was like, 'What are you doing?' I replied, 'Who put stuff right in front of the door?' So my gf turned on the light and there was nothing there, but I saw what I thought was a pile of clothes. She simply asked, 'Is it taking effect?' I just nodded, and went back to my spot in front of my laptop.

1am-I tried to read words on the laptop, and one second I could and next I couldn't. In fact, I could barely look at my gf because it looked like blue and red veins were all over her, and it bugged me that the 2CP makes people look creepy, so I tried watching a music video to see what would happen. My body was hot, and I was sweating from my palms to my soles, and the body high was super strong, similar to how E felt the first time. Not as explosive, but very strong and constant. I don't remember how I got to it because I don't even like Nicki Minaj and I don't have anything of her on hard drive, but a Nicki Minaj music video was playing, and whoa, it was really trippy. When I focused on her, all I could see was her, even with my eyes closed, and the lyrics 'dance dance dance dance dance etc' repeated even after it stopped in the video and overlapped with her rap lyrics. It was annoying, so after some struggling I clicked out of it. Overwhelmed, I asked my gf to come with me outside to have a cig.

2am-I was incredulously surprised that it was the middle of the night but it looked like day. There was no sun, of course, but everything had a pink, red, and orange hue to it. I'd say 90% of the time that's how my field of vision was, and the other 10% I could see it was night time. It shifted from one to the other, sometimes constantly and other times one field of vision lasted anywhere from 10-30 seconds straight. I wondered if I had maybe taken too much, because as much as I was trying to adjust to the effects occurring so completely, I couldn't like I did with LSD, rather easily too. I guess my gf knew I was worried, so she was getting worried, as she doesn't know much about drugs and doesn't do any except occasionally weed, so she led me inside and the whole time I told myself don't look at her usually pretty face which kept producing blue and red veins all over whenever I looked.

3am-Nicki Minaj kept replaying in my head, over and over, which was weird because I didn't even know what she was saying. I still had that chemical taste in my mouth, and this time with the lamp on in my room, the red and blue lines formed on the walls again. Sometimes they were made into words, but whatever words I was thinking of would actually form right in front of me, so I knew it wasn't some figure writing to me but it was the 2CP and my thoughts creating them, but it kept on going as long as I stared at a wall. CEV's were strong, similar to how one pictures stuff in their head except way stronger and a bit intimidating, so I opted to keep my eyes open. By this time, my gf was trying to stay awake to be a sitter for me but she fell asleep, my body and head high didn't budge, so I decided to entertain myself and watch some porn.

4am-it was weird. Whatever pictures were on the screen didn't look creepy, but it looked exaggerated and embossed-like. Porn was no exception. I only watch solo girl porn and damn they looked raw and enticing, a lot of the parts are usually boring but the sensuality of the whole thing kept me still and staring. Then, slowly, Nicki Minaj's music video and lyrics would take over my consciousness, totally killing the mood and vibe, which made me start to sweat again. Disgusted, I went out to have a cig only to have a repeat of the color changes again. But this time, I thought it was awesome and I felt great, my mood was lifted and I actually laughed to myself, thinking how 2CP is a crazy ass drug.

5am-7am-I laid in bed, thinking about all sorts of things and trying to sleep but I couldn't. I had tried to get something to eat, but the cereal I was trying to eat tasted like utter crap so I tossed the whole thing away. My eyes would focus and un-focus by itself, but if I controlled it I could hold either one. I felt happy though, happy to be feeling such a body high from head to toe, from the core to the outside, the lights shining so brightly through the windows it seemed to pierce through everything, and the red and blue writing that would form on the walls made me smile and chuckle.

8am-12pm- Time seemed to go by so slow. By this time, I went about my normal day: brush my teeth, take a shower, took about an hour nap, didn't eat though but I could do normal things normally except I was taking 2CP with me along for the ride. By this time, I could concentrate and shut out almost all of its effects for seconds and sometimes minutes, but whenever I did it would come back strong and the visual hallucinations would go a bit haywire. However, I was in full control of its effects, meaning I understood what could be controlled and what couldn't, so I had total control of my actions and would pass as sober to basically anyone except for feeling my sweaty palms. I easily hide my pupil dilation with color contacts, which is one of its main purposes for me. Even my gf thought I was sober, until she held my hand. But the 2CP was as strong as ever, which I liked a lot.

1-4pm-I do not condone this of course, but I drove. I drove to the plaza with my gf and met up my friend who gave me the 2CP. He asked how it was, and I told him I was still on it at the moment, told him what I went through and that the red and blue lines would still form on the walls and that I could see his veins through his skin. He just laughed, and we talked some, had some boba and a cig, my gf wanted to eat so and he and I followed her to the restaurant, and in general we just hung out and talked. It was really hot though, and I had diarrhea again, but overall the drug was still strong. While walking down the hall, I felt the body high almost overwhelmingly strong and everything looked crisp and sharp. From the trees and its leaves to the cars parked and the stores, everything just seemed brighter and fuller with anything reflecting the sun leaving trails and glowing bursts.

5pm-Midnight-this is when the effects were slowly tapering off. I was almost getting tired of the high, but I'm generally patient and told myself to just enjoy it while it lasts. I drove safe, slow, and within 5 minutes I got to a park inside my gated community and chilled there with my gf. I smoked cigs, we got into a conversation that lasted several hours, we both smoked some weed but for me I didn't feel high at all. She asked me if she could try 2CP too, I said no and she laughed and said okay. I told her that she would be overwhelmed, and that it was stronger than acid which she's scared of, so she said 'oh, never mind then.'

Probably around midnight the next day is when the 2CP cooled off, no more CEV's or OEV's or if there were still any, I'd give it 1% of what it usually was. The high and euphoria were still there, but running on empty. I had a slight headache and heh, I stopped getting the runs and I was in a good mood still. I was able to sleep and the next day I wouldn't say the 2CP was completely gone, the afterglow was apparently there since I felt the weak body and head high, and my palms were a bit sweaty still. But probably during midday Sunday, the 2CP was pretty much gone.

Overall, it was a blast. I'm not sure if it really was 10mg or not, but if so it was that or more because a lot of crystals were stuck inside on the sides from top to bottom. That's on top of the crystals which were loose, where I eyeballed a third of it the first day and felt practically nothing. I've taken a lot of Bio and Chem classes, so I have a pretty good idea of how much 5 or 10 mg would be, which I estimate to be 20 of those tiny crystals to be 5mg or less. Genius, I know (sarcasm of course). But I'm pretty sensitive to all the drugs I've taken so far, my tolerance level and threshold is consistently among the lowest in my group and others' groups as well.

I was overwhelmed at first by 2CP; there were so many OEV and CEV shenanigans going on that seemed completely dependent on the setting, thought looping, vision was so sharp and blue and red lines formed generally everywhere but especially on white walls, diarrhea, palm sweating, body temp rising, whole body high, etc. I remember this so well because I stopped ALL hard drugs after this experience. I planned to go out with a bang and I felt like this was it, and that if there was more to experience I would do it AFTER I get settled in my career. Then, perhaps, the REAL fun would start.
