Before doing 2C-D I did a LOT of research, to the point where it was obsessive, but that is the case with any of my interests,
and I derived a lot of enjoyment out of reading reports.

One thing that I didn't see among the reports, was a report for a low dosage, that was also insufflated. I never start big with any psychs, out of fear of an experience that is too extreme. My mantra with psychoactives is 'you can always take more, but you can't take less'. Anyhow, the reason for this report is, to provide the perspective of an incredibly low dose. Mind you, the 4mg that I took was insufflated, and I read online that, when insufflated chemicals are more potent. This is logical, as the chemicals don't have to cross the acidic gauntlet that is your stomach, and as such can cross the blood-brain barrier with more ease. I assume that this dosage would be equal to 8mg oral, but take that with a grain of salt, of course.

At around 19:35 (T 00:00)
I insufflated around three quarters of the dose I planned on taking. I was a little afraid that it'd be too much, so I shoved the rest of the crushed quarter pill in the bag.

19:45 (T 00:10)
I started going into the typical psychedelic headspace, albeit a very, very faint headspace, not very different from being lightheaded, but benevolently so. I am quite certain this is not a placebo, as this specific psychedelic induced lightheadedeness is quite familiar to me. The sounds around me, especially that of my computer fans, become sharper, more apparent. At that point, I start regretting not taking what is presumably 1mg and rush upstairs to do another minute bump. There is not much burn here, but the burn is more apparent than the bump of 4 ho-mipt I did the week earlier. This is in-line with many other people online reporting that snorting the 2C family is not very pleasant. I think I'm lucky it was in pill form.

20:00 (T 00:25)
At this point, I started to write this report, the effects are noticable, but had I not been aware of the line of crushed pills I insufflated a couple of minutes ago, I would've assumed it was lightheadedness. I of course, happily so, know better. I am incredibly focussed at the moment, and the 'smart drug' effects are becoming apparent, this might however be placebo, but this is not very different from the times I still took my prescription Methylphenidate. This however, luckily did not come with the suicidal thoughts.

20:10 (T 00:35)
I noticed, still that I am writing very focussed and with purpose, I am enjoying the process a lot. I doubt that the effects I'm experiencing are going to increase. My pupils are ever so slightly dilated, but I'm not sure, I feel as though they're slightly bigger than normal, but it might as well be because of the lighting conditions.

20:20 (T:00:45)
I went outside for a little, and I feel as though my senses were ever so slightly increased, I felt more 'attuned' to my senses. Especially and suprisingly so my proprioception (the sense of where limbs in your body are) increased. Because of my ADHD I never had very good proprioception, and it's curious that it's improved after taking 2C-D. Possibly because of increased dopamine production (the root cause of ADHD is a relative shortage of dopamine). Or because people with ADHD have decreased levels of phenethylamine in their bodies. This of course begs the question; could 2C-D, or, rather certain members of the 2C family, serve as medication for ADHD/ADD? If this'd be the case, that would be super nice, seeing as the current medication for attention defficit disorders are just stimulants, teeming with undesirable side effects. In the Netherlands, as of July 2025, all Phenethylamines will be made illegal, including 2C-D. The fact that I probably won't ever see 2C-D available again is saddening, especially since the symptoms of my ADHD are almost completely alleviated.

I hope, that in the future, perhaps, studies will be done on the positive (and obviously negative, but not very likely, especially compared to alcohol) effects of phenethylamines. But one can only hope. I am going off on a tangent, but in deliberately and uncharacteristically focussed manner hahaha.

20:25 (T 00:55)
The effects have likely peaked, but they've been super subtle so far, so it's hard to tell, but It's likely they have. One aspect I've failed to mention is that the effect is very much like a strong cup of Pu'er tea . Another user has likened the effects to tea, because of a calming, yet stimulated effect, and I wholeheartedly agree. So far, the experience has been pleasurable, but devoid of any profound effects other than great focus and a slight mood boost. I did not expect anything more, honestly, but I could see many people being disappointed by the lack of effects. I feel as though I am stuck in the first 5 minutes of a psilocybin come-up, but more clear-headed and without the body load, if that makes sense.

20:35 (T 1:05)
At this point, I'm headed of to play on my saxophone, to see if my musical perception is altered or increased.

20:55 (T 1:25)
I returned from playing music. I improvised over a set of chords I looped on my guitar, and I definitely feel more in control of my saxophone. I at least enjoyed the music I made more, but I definitely felt as if it actually sounded better. But it could just be me, biased. It was at this point that I realised I was also returning to baseline, if I hadn't been riding that all along, only to cross it for a split second for a millimetre. I could drive a car at this stage (which I'm not obviously). Hubris out of the way, I could drive coherently and not endanger anyone on the road.

21:10 (T 1:40)
I was aware of how short-lived 2C-D was, and combined with the dwarf-like dose I took, it shouldn't come as a surprise that it wouldn't last long. But still, I was, because at this point, I was completely sober.

So I decided to go and drink a little beer, seeing as the trial was over, and as such couldn't be tainted by other psychoactives. Beer, alcohol, the socially acceptable drug. The hypocrisy of Phenethylamines, safe as they are, being banned while alcohol still roams the streets many a weekend night, killing thousands and making people violent, does not have to be explained. I hope, one day that all psychedelics become legal again (paired with harm reduction practices being taught at school, obviously). The war on drugs is as senseless as any war, and perhaps even more so, because it can't be won.

SUMMARY:
The experience, short-lived as it was, was enjoyable and enlightening, though not in a way psychedelics are at higher doses.
2C-D has revealed its character to me, and I would now feel more confident taking psychedelic doses. The idea of 2C-D as a smart drug is certainly one that could be entertained. In my experience, it was, though it could be debated, of course.


Thanks for taking your time reading this, and excuse any spelling or sentence structure mistakes. I really liked writing about my experience, and I am definitely going to make more trip reports. Have a great day!
