DISCLAIMER – I had taken 2CB-FLY and 2CD both at a low dose 5 days before this experience. This definitely caused my tolerance for psychedelics to be higher.

Prior drug experiences – I took some shrooms before and had a decent trip but it was mostly in the head-space, and there were no strong visuals at all. Tried some 2C versions at low doses but while interesting they did not give me any real drifting visuals. So I had not seen any ‘real’ visuals before.

Set and setting – Alone in my apartment, had a bored evening ahead of me and nothing to do in the morning. I had bought some triptamines to try and my headspace was feeling good, so I took them without any hesitation during dinner.

T+00:00: I bit a purple 5-MeO-MiPT pill and it tasted very bitter. Not extremely bitter, it was of the same magnitude of ‘taste offensiveness’ as a cigarette. Then I took a greenish-beige 4-HO-MiPT pill and after biting it this one was completely tasteless.

T+00:30: At this point I am starting the effects. It is starting to make me feel euphoric and have bodily sensations. Unlike 2C there was no nauseating feeling at all during any part of the trip.
Unlike 2C there was no nauseating feeling at all during any part of the trip.


T+01:00: The visual effects are starting to come in in waves, all of the effects feel very benign. My mindspace is quickly beginning to change into tripping. Short term memory is becoming worse by the minute at this point. Colors are becoming more vivid, but there is no fast-paced changing of colors like I experience on 2C.

T+01:30: I am tripping hard now, no hallucinations or very deep thoughts but at this point I am tripping. Patterns are slowly drifting, the images shown on PsychonautsWiki’s Good Vibes are now all starting to move. Bodily sensations are almost constant now, they all feel benign and very nice and gentle. My extremities are a bit colder than normal but nothing extreme or discomforting. From this point forward until the end of the trip, my apple watch reported a heartrate of ~85, where my normal heartrate is ~60. For reference, benzos lower it to ~50, for 2C-B I find that my heartrate rises to ~80, and for weed it rises to ~110.

T+02:45: I have clearly already passed the peak. The tripping feeling stayed constant during the whole last hour. I was having gentle visuals, slightly more vivid colors and I experienced some Alice in Wonderland effect a few times walking around the room. I also have complete aphantasia meaning I lack closed eye visuals of any kind. And I did not experience any closed eye visuals on this trip at all. My short-term memory for the last hour had been completely shot, but it was quickly starting to come back to me. I experienced no amnesia or long term memory loss at all, this was far from any ego death experience. During the trip it made me feel euphoric and creative, and I was completely content just watching and observing any onscreen images, patterns and videos and enjoying the gradual visuals.

T+03:00: It’s clear I’ve reached peak and I’m surprised how quickly that the tripping feeling is fading away. It makes any touch feel incredible and I was in a ‘tripping-but-in-control’ type of mindset the entire time, with mellow visuals and a desire for music. At this point I redose 40mg 4-HO-MiPT and 15mg 5-MeO-MiPT. I smoke a joint on the balcony and I’m just happily cloudgazing like this for a while with little to no thoughts in mind.

T+03:30: The redose is clearly starting to kick in and its ramped up quickly to the point of last peak. Everything was still feeling very benevolent and I was in a good mood all along, made me very curious, a bit hanged back and very strongly increased libido at this point. The sex drive was completely turned to 11 from here until the end.

T+03:45: I am now experiencing the first ‘real’ visuals. Instead of very gentle flows or movements I can now imagine standing still pictures to be completely moving. Text is hard to read too, with letters blurring over the lines and being distorted. It made me very dyslectic (which I am not, sober). I found reading to be frustrating because of this, and quickly went back to watching videos and images and experiencing the slow and soothing visuals. My short-term memory is gone at this point again.

T+04:30: The bodily sensations are very intense yet completely benign. I get muscle contractions but they are gradual and slow. Everything feels good and I am euphoric. Visuals are strongest at this point. My brain is trying to find geometric shapes and patterns in anything it sees, but there is still drifting and at this point there is some scenery slicing effects going on along with double-vision.

T+06:00: By now even the redose is quickly losing potency.

Like at the T+3hr mark I quickly regain most of my short-term memory and visuals are on a fast decline. Once again it feels like there is no amnesia at all, just loss of short-term memory during the trip. Compared to before the redose, the new peak hit clear visuals with morphing and breathing distortions. But it felt natural and benign. The colors were pretty vivid still at this point.

T+08:00: I am way past peak and am experiencing some drowsiness. I manage to sleep fine on it. I am now contemplating the experience and only now do I realize I still had no closed eye visuals at any part of this process.

T+24hr: I can confidently say I had no long term after effects. I had a decent night’s sleep and felt well rested. The next day was a normal sober day and it was just like any other, if anything I felt better, but I experienced no negative side-effects remaining after waking. No nauseating feelings, no discomfort of any kind.
