Great First Time With Psychedelics

Was bored on a Sunday where I typically just don’t do anything, so I decided to try the 2C-B pill I bought from a friend. It would mark my first time using a proper psychedelic substance, up until this point I had only tried alcohol, cannabis and ketamine. I had a bad first experience with ketamine previously and threw up on it so I was apprehensive, but I read about 2C-B and its effects, how it would only last about 4 or so hours, how it’s a good beginner psychedelic so I thought I’d try it.

I woke up at 10am and I split the pill somewhat unevenly and took the smaller piece at 11:00 on the dot and opened this document to try and articulate what I experienced.

T+ 0:00: Downed half a pill of it with some water. Didn’t taste as bad as I expected, not bitter like ketamine, somewhat sweet from what I felt touch my tongue, almost like a sweetener pill.

T+ 0:20: somewhat restless, and slight coming and going of mild nausea. Not sure if I can attribute this to waking up not long ago/anticipation of drug or the drug itself.

T+ 1:00 Apart from restlessness I don’t feel much, certainly can’t see any visuals. Music sounds decent but not as mind-blowingly good as it is on cannabis right now. My body, limbs especially feel lighter, like I can move parts of my body easier.

T+ 1:10: 10 minutes later the restlessness is getting overwhelming, reminds me of my first time on antidepressants (which I stopped taking months ago), laughing at stuff that isn’t really funny, guess this is the physical come-up.

T+ 1:30: Very exhilarated, playing video games is very intense and engaging, definitely feeling the physical now, visual not so different. I feel very on-edge but in a good way, I can feel the excess energy in my body wanting to be let out, I think at this point I started getting into the music I was listening to and danced to it a bit to get the energy out.

T+ 2:00: Same as before hard to sit still, went to lay down after exiting video game and looked at ceiling, had a shimmering/waving effect along with a 3d stereoscopic type effect, like chromatic aberration. Noticeably this only seems to occur when staring for a while, it is not immediate like I expected psychedelics to be. Could be due to low dose.

T+ 2:10: went outside to let the dog out and the dog feels so nice to touch. I also stared at some dead trees for like 2 minutes wondering if they were moving from the wind or me tripping. The psychedelic visuals are subtle enough I am second guessing if I am just imagining it or not. I had this idea that I would immediately know if I’m in the ‘trip world’ so to speak, but the blend is somewhat seamless.

T+ 2:20: Feel euphoric mentally, a very positive headspace, just an overwhelming appreciation for stupid shit like nature when I was outside and objectively unfunny memes while I browsed on social media etc.

T+ 2:30: At this point I was feeling hungry so I made a pizza and wanted some toppings, so I cut up some vegetables. I was acutely aware of the dangers of using a knife while being on a substance, so I took quite a while being careful. An interesting thing to note is the lack of negative inner monologue. Typically, when doing foolish actions such as utterly failing to cut garlic as I attempted in the kitchen I would berate myself for it but instead it was more like a steady positive mentor-type voice guiding me.

T+ 2:40: I feel as though the effects are waning somewhat, I feel settled down and not as ridiculously hyperactive. I am struggling to find the psychedelic effects visually; I tried to have some closed-eye hallucinations previously but could only really find very mild ones that I could no doubt recreate sober by pressing on my eyes. There is a strange ‘flickering’ sensation in my vision like a light flashing constantly fast in my peripheral vision.

I feel as though my visual hallucinations have been stymied somewhat by the fact I am using a computer throughout most of it, which inhibits imagination possibly. I tried to just do my normal daily activities as a control while I took the drug, this whole experiment was to see how I reacted to such substances in a familiar environment. However, it feels like a drug I can take outdoors and have a good time viewing all the fauna and flora which is no doubt why people take it when they’re doing a hike or a nature thing or whatever, I concluded.

Something to note, up until this point in my ‘trip’ I had been listening to intense 140+ bpm music that Spotify has bestowed onto me. I didn’t explicitly choose a playlist I just played my collation of music I had. It didn’t sound as profoundly different like my experience on cannabis, but around this time it has been playing slower, relaxing music it has probably had an effect on my mood and made me more relaxed.

## REDOSE ##
T+ 3:17: After eating a Pizza, definitely starting to feel it come down and feeling a little underwhelmed with the experience. With no experience with psychedelics at this point I was expecting to see big visual hallucinations, and profound changes to my environment so, at this point I want to plunge deeper. so, I take the other half of the pill. Swallowed other half down with water. Since I noticed one of the pill halves was bigger at this point I imagine I had been on 13mg~

T+ 3:40: Trying headphones and relaxing to see if that will evoke a more ‘trip’ sensation out of the drug, so far it has been very physical, like a mere stimulant more than a psychedelic.

T+ 4:10: Slipping into trance-like state at times, similar to being on cannabis in terms of relaxation, still visuals aren’t overwhelming or that noticeable. Feel very relaxed now.

T+ 4:24: Flickery peripherals returning. When I close my eyes I see almost like a spinning tunnel, but I still don’t see them open-eye, or anything particularly noticeable.

T+ 4:50: I can feel the compulsive urge to move my jaw. I expected to have an urge like this earlier while I was in my more hyperactive state, but it is only just manifesting now. I have waves of relaxation/shivers coming over me and I feel like I want to move about but still quite relaxed

T+ 5:00: Looking at my hands I can see the wrinkles in my skin oscillate. I noticed previously the red lights in my room seemed to look orange now. My salt lamp looks almost like gelatine the way it waves around. After sitting down again I feel very euphoric and orgasmic even. The body sensation is rather overwhelming. If I were to know what being on ecstasy felt like, this would probably be it. It’s hard to imagine a more pleasant experience without it turning forced or uncomfortable.

T+ 5:40: Figured that since 2C-B is similar to MDMA and people have lots of sex on it I should try masturbating. Did so, I felt as though I had incomplete ejaculation a few times and it was hard to feel the climax coming on with the overwhelming body orgasm I was experiencing from the drug itself, but when I eventually did climax it was truly extraordinary. Couldn’t stop thinking about how this drug is one you’d want to use with someone you truly love, it was very magical. Went to the shower to clean up.

The shower was where things became very apparent I was hallucinating. First I saw dogs on the marble tile walls, hyenas and savannah fauna. And I imagined myself having hot water poured onto me by a pine branch in the middle of the winter woods, kind of like some steamy sauna in the middle of a cold forest. I also watched blue soap channel through the divots on my palms for like 20 minutes. I looked at myself in the mirror and I saw my pupils had finally started to fully dilate despite being in a bright room, I had previously been periodically checking, kind of expecting it to be but only now had I noticed they were properly dilated.

T+ 6:00: I am definitely tripping now, looking at an image for an extended period of time causes visual hallucinations. I believe the name is pareidolia where I am seeing faces in benign objects, like the carpet on the floor etc. They looked like demons faces laughing at me, which seems like the start of a really bad trip but I kind of just stepped on them and then I realised they were laughing with me not at me. Had delusions of being the prince of hell or something silly and edgy like that.

One thing I noticed is that despite all this I still understood where I was, what I was doing, what I was on. It was easy to get immersed in the delusion, but I still had a baseline understanding of everything, I never felt scared or worried about what I was doing. I was apprehensive about being lost in this trippy world and accidentally hurting myself but what was part of my trip and what was reality was apparent to me.

T+ 6:15: I played with my dog for a small bit, was really fun and I felt like I connected with him.

T+ 6:25: Overwhelming relaxation. Similar to cannabis again. Just letting mind drift like on the sea, listening to a Sasha and Digweed album that was truly magical on this drug. I don’t remember much visual sensation here, honestly in terms of visuals there wasn’t anything groundbreakingly different to me. I was primarily just absorbed entirely into the music I was hearing.

T+ 6:40: Body sensations are all just relaxing right now. The stimulating effect of the drug has disappeared leaving only a warm fuzzy high that lets me into a trance state.

T+ 7:15: The visual aspects have all but diminished but the trancey state is still ongoing, a relaxing wave sensation over my body.

T+ 7:30: Mentally I feel as though the trip is coming to an end, the peak has definitely hit during the shower. I can still feel the physical effects of the drug in my body and music sounds amazing still, but I may just be naturally disposed to that. I expect it will be all but done in the next hour.

T+ 8:30: Visual effects have completely gone; body high is now coming down too.

T+ 9:10: Drug has worn off at this point. I feel somewhat enervated from such a long experience, since 2C-B is meant to be quite a short trip compared to likes of acid and such.

I slept rather soundly, but the day after I had a mild headache that waxed and waned all day. Certainly, a better ‘hangover’ than the mind fog of cannabis or the bodily pain of alcohol. All in all, I enjoyed the experience a lot and it made me a lot less fearful of psychedelics and positive towards taking them.
