6:30 PM - Woke up, took a shower and cleaned up my room. Mindset: I’ve decided to get my shit together the night before while getting drunk. My sleep was disturbed the whole week leading up to the experience as I was nocturnal, sleeping during the day and wasting valuable time. So I decided that I would trip today, take a Xanax, knock out and start early on Monday. I’ve tried 2C-B orally and also a small dose nasally prior to this.

8:45 PM - I weigh out 11mg on a 0.000 scale and insufflate it. Burns/Stings pretty bad. Worse than MDMA, definitely the harshest chemical I’ve ever insufflated.

8:50 PM - Got used to the nose burn at this point, I can feel it coming up.

8:55 PM - Open-Eye Visuals are apparent, I can tell this is going to be one hell of a trip, so at this point I felt like going down to the store to get cigarettes before things got too wild.

9:00 PM - I’m walking on the street with a friend at this point to go get cigarettes, smoking a rolled one on the way. My friend tripped hard on acid a day or two prior and ended up talking to a pumpkin so I felt like he was the best person to to baby sit me. The come up feels like waves in the body, increasing the body load as well as the visuals.

9:15 PM - The deli was closed so we made our way back to my room as I was still coming up and my body load was increasing.

9:30 PM - We make our way to the park to smoke a rolled cigarette. I’ve reached peak effects by this time and sitting at the park, I was thinking about my life and my future. I teared up as I realized I’m a nobody. (Wouldn’t say it was ego death, more of a realization that I’m nothing but a speck in the grand scheme of the universe.) At the same time, I knew that my insignificant existence was the one thing that mattered most to me. I realized that psychedelics, especially at high doses, are very serious as my perception shifts so fast. Dualistic thoughts and the idea that everything can be looked at in two very opposing ways kept hitting me.
Dualistic thoughts and the idea that everything can be looked at in two very opposing ways kept hitting me.
I tell myself “This too shall pass.” as I get a bit freaked out. (I don’t really react to psychedelics in the most joyful way.)

9:40 PM - Went back to my room, discovered a monolith for the trip on the way, a garbage can blocking the entrance to an elevator and for some reason it was there the entire night and every-time I saw it it made me happy. I started listening to music and chilled out.

10:00 PM - I go back outside, alone this time, to get cigarettes.

The effects, once you reached the peak/plateau seemed to be the following:
Heightened Senses: Touch, Smell, Sound, Colors, Light Reflections/Refractions
Visual Distortions: Aggressive Visuals on tiles/granite. Less floaty than acid.
Body Load: Some body load, climbing 4 flights of stairs was annoying. Sensation of warmth/cold is intensified.
Body-Awareness: More awareness of my own body and it’s constituents. Smoking cigarettes feels like I'm putting shit into my lungs. I also had more awareness of discomfort, felt like taking my clothes off because it felt like I was carrying a weight.

10:05 PM - Attempted sitting down and writing this report, but was not capable. The visuals on 2C-B are much more aggressive compared to LSD/Psylocibin. The mind-space is also less spiritual/mystical. Actions that would otherwise be basic like rolling a cigarette become hard. I can’t function if I'm peaking on a high dose of this drug, as with any psychedelic, but certainly more functional than LSD or Shrooms.

10:20 PM - I can feel myself coming down. Surprised at the duration of effects,

10:40 PM - I smoke some wax out of a vape pen, and surprisingly I felt like it brought me back to baseline faster, but things got a bit weird, sort of like when I would smoke weed while on acid, so I stopped.

12:00 AM - Got a hold of some indica bud, smoked it, chilled out until 1ish.

1:30 AM - Lights off, I attempt to doze off.

2:00 AM - I realize it’s not working, so I take a couple of wax rips and went straight to dreamland.

Woke up the next day at 11 AM, snoozed until 1:45 PM.

Side Affects: Some lethargy, more than usual, the next day. Fixed with 15mg of dexamphetamine,

My Opinion on 2-CB: In normal doses, it’s a very casual psychedelic with a warm colorful vibe to it. In higher doses it becomes a bit more spiritual and mystic.
