Having read quite a bit about it, I decided I’d like to try 2CB. I was hoping it would be a good substitution for MDMA as I needed a break. Also, Shulgin’s description of it sounded intriguing and I was curious.

The substance arrived and the test showed that it is indeed 2CB. We were planning on going to a party that night and this being my first time on the substance I decided to play it safe and take 5 mg at home, to see how I reacted. I didn’t want to hallucinate in public, so I decided to be careful with the dose. The strength of this resolution dwindled as the evening went on and I discovered that any hallucinogenic properties would be pretty hard to achieve on a small dose.

The initial 5 mg definitely gave me a boost of energy. I wanted to listen to music and move. My partner and I made love and senses were definitely somewhat heightened. This was 2 hours before going to the party. Decided to take another 10mg before going to the party.

I met a friend and we discussed the effects. It was a lot like ecstasy in terms of physical energy but there wasn’t much of the empathy or introspection there. The friend had done some MDMA prior to coming out. It made for good socializing. We drank a glass of wine and danced....it was a lot of fun.

About 4 hours after arriving at the party (and 6 hours after taking the initial dose) I decided to dip my finger in the bag and re-dose. I have no idea how much I took but it made my head super sensitive. Touching my hair felt orgasmic. I had to take a breather and walk away from company for a few moments. Was giggling and generally happy and energetic and once the sensual response was under control I rejoined my friends without a problem and continued having a conversation (they had all been drinking so my high spirits didn’t seem out of place).

If I had to estimate, I would say I probably took about 20 mg over the course of the entire evening. I know this is not the way you are supposed to do it but I was experimenting and just getting a feel for this substance. Do not regret it. Was a fun night and the following morning was terrific. Only a very slight headache which might just be down to fatigue, not having slept much.

Will try to do it properly next time with a higher dose all at once and am curious to see if it can get more intense or hallucinogenic in nature.
