This compound had long been on my bucket list, and I’m grateful I received a sample as a gift.

-->I have tried it once before today at 3mg, which was a low but pleasant dose comparable to ~15mg 2C-B HCl. It was enough to let it reveal its character a bit and I remember being impressed by the effects. I didn’t take down any notes during my first experiment but I didn’t think twice about upping my dose to 5mg (at the end of the day it’s just two milligrams, right?).

Background information:

- sex: male
- age: 27
- weight: 72 kg
- setting: at home, alone
- set: My mindset has been great over the past few weeks. I finished my second undergraduate degree and landed a part-time job at a well respected university in my home country. I met a girl a month ago and things are going well on that end too. Also I’ll be traveling through Colombia for a month with a good friend of mine starting in ten days and the excitement is starting to kick in.

Daily 40mg telmisartan in the morning (not medically needed but for increased vascular health among other things). Drank a cup of coffee twenty minutes before ingestion of the material and also had 200mg of magnesium citrate because I ran 10km a couple hours prior and did a few core exercises which tired me out. I also ate half of a tarte flambée about 90 minutes ago. I’m still a bit hungry, but decided to save the rest so as not to interfere with the come-up too much.

2C-TFM HCl (5mg, oral) / Trip Report:

00:00: -
Dissolved 5.0 mg (± 0.1 mg) in about 20 mL of some warm tap water and starting sipping on it. The taste really is a bit sweet, although very faint. Possibly placebo? Down the rest.

00:30: ± - ++
First effects noticeable, didn’t expect this to come on so quickly. Lightheadedness and a familiar feeling of warmth are setting in and a veil of euphoria is starting to encompass me. I took a few small psychedelic doses sprinkled throughout the past year, but this is my first proper trip since I broke up with my ex-girlfriend last September. I’m a bit nervous and my heartrate is elevated. Physically I feel fine, although exhausted from the cardio/workout I did earlier. Also I got drunk with friends the night before so that might play a role as well. Did I underestimate this? Let’s not think about that, it’s too late now anyway.

01:00: ++
Things are picking up, my throat feels a little closed off. No nausea per se but a slight discomfort that I can’t quite localize. Open eye visuals are starting to build, my body feels tired but my limbs are energized. Stretching and yawning feels good. Mentally I’m very clear, almost unaltered or so it seems. Music is starting to sound more nuanced and intricate. Really enjoy listening to Pink Floyd right now. In terms of bodily effects it seems more transparent and less physical than 2C-B. Pretty benign and comfortable, actually. I could see it being useful for eroticism, but it’s certainly less sensual than its aforementioned brother. Closed-eye visuals are starting to become noticeable too but they are not really pronounced yet.

01:20: ++
A lot of drifting and morphing, and the music enhancement is great already. Slight queasiness in my stomach, but not hungry at all. Feels pretty anorexic actually.

I would say I’m at a strong ++ at this point, my come-up seems much more rapid than what “gc” reported possibly due to heightened metabolic activity from the workout and cardio I did earlier. I also ate very little, the half tarte flambée was all I had today, so probably like 500 kcal. Compared to the 3mg trial I had ten months ago this comes on much quicker and stronger. Come-up phase seems to be almost over.

It’s decently euphoric and still very lucid. The euphoria lies somewhere in the middle between the alkylated 2C-x and the halogenated 2C-x, not as neutral as 2C-E/-D but not as euphoric as 2C-B/-C. The euphoria feels organic and natural, not as empathogenic as MDMA nor having the warmth of a 2C-T-x compound. No color enhancement, but LSD like mandala figures pop up when looking at the wall. Debating in my head whether this is too mild, too strong or just perfect. Euphoria seems to be ramping up but I am not yet fully acclimatized to the drug, some uncertainty is lingering in the back of my head.

01:45: +++
Damn the music enhancement is crazy, this is certainly a solid +++ dose for me. Very great experience so far, the peak has set in. My plants are looking healthy and juicy. Aztec-like mandalas dancing around when you keep your face point blank at the wall. What an amazing compound, this didn’t disappoint. Why do I keep postponing trips out of anxiousness when they are so beneficial for me? Music dictates the mood and my mindset is vulnerable. Compound is certainly not as forceful as 2C-E but it can definitely get you thinking about stuff. My life is going so well atm this honestly feels like a well deserved treat. Like the cherry on top.

02:00: +++
The effects are not getting stronger anymore it seems, I’m in a comfortable peak plateau. The compound is really transparent for a phenethylamine, 2C-B has a much greater bodyload. It feels completely non-threatening physically, like one can push this one up much higher. I have about 8 mg left of this and I think I will take it all at once next time. This will probably be the highest dose ever reported for pure 2C-TFM HCl. This compound is pretty stimulating, moreso than mescaline or 2C-B for me, but laying around on the couch still feels really good. Next time I will not work out beforehand to see how different the come-up time and the bodily effects are. 2C-TFM is so well rounded, it’s powerful, but not overwhelming. Encouraged rather than forced. A sweet drug, not as euphoric as mescaline or as 2C-T-4/-7 but very pleasurable regardless. This is so interesting, mentally it’s very lucid but it can certainly push you into introspection if one desires to. It’s a little reminiscent of LSD, but one has more choice to stay within the realm of one's mind but it’s certainly more introspective than 2C-B or 2C-C. I haven’t tried 2C-I, but from what I’ve heard, it could be quite similar in this regard.

02:15: +++
This is so god damn well-rounded, it has everything a complete psychedelic should offer. Mental depth, clarity, emotionality, great visuals, physical comfort and a sensible duration. Holy shit this is awesome, I really needed that. Can’t even explain why, but it feels so necessary that I had this trip even though I’m not even pondering about life or anything, I’m simply enjoying this for what it is. What a great feeling.

03:00: +++
I am forcing myself to eat a little more of that left over tarte flambée, it’s not easy, but the taste is excellent. Also ate a few frozens berries which went down much easier.

Peak effects are still going strong, sometimes focusing on one task is disorienting but one can remain grounded. OEV’s are in full effect, very rich. Once again I’m baffled by how great music sounds, Pink Floyd matches so well with the psychedelia. Taking 8mg without a sitter would be a bit threatening, even 5mg are quite strong. Maybe because I haven’t tripped hard for so long but I am enjoying this greatly. Reminds me of the time period of my life where I tripped like twice a month and I can totally see why I did it. It just adds so much color to my life.

03:30: +++
Amazing CEV’s at this point. Enjoy your fucking life dude, you deserve it.
Ride the +++ like when you were 24. There certainly is a headspace, it is evident now and it is more pushy than the one induced by 2C-B. The CEVs are incredibly colorful, intricate, fast-moving and diverse. They are constantly following the music and the color/scenery switches are very rapid. Insanely stunning geometry, reminds me a great deal of LSD. It doesnt let me rest easy though, the 2C-TFM displays power and demonstrates it’s not a force to be reckoned with. These 8mg will be so much more powerful, but maybe that’s what I need. How do you even prepare for such a dose, this would quite possibly be the strongest psychedelic dose I have ever taken.

Anyway, this doesn’t feel like it’s near slowing down, the effects haven’t been any stronger than they are now.

04:00: +++
It really goes out to show me what it has to offer. Everything comes and goes in waves, sometimes it borders on being overwhelming and then it feels like its' winding down. It doesn’t let you go. Very all-encompassing. It seems to match LSD quite well in terms of its timeline. With LSD I tend to notice a drop-off in intensity at around 4 hours and then it shifts into the blissful plateau phase for another couple hours but let’s see how this one develops. I am glad that I underestimated the intensity of the experience, it was so worth it but I am baffled by the immersiveness 4 hours into the experience.

04:15: +++ - ++
Gradual come-down phase starts here.
Still at a strong ++ but everything is a little more manageable now. I think the strongest wave of mental effects was at T:03:50. My emotions are still all over the place, I am having mixed emotions ranging from annoyed to amazed to anxious to tired to feeling empty. I normally don’t notice any emotional depletion after psychedelic experiences but here it seems like I do. Maybe not too surprising considering how strong and amazing the experience has been. I am lacking nutrients and I can feel the exhaustion now. The last 40 minutes weren’t as physically transparent as it was in the beginning. I could use some company right now, it would probably be more fun to come down with someone else present. Should I eat a little clonazepam to ease myself into a relaxed state? No, I will abstain, for now.

04:30: ++
Okay my emotions seem to have stabilized without any chemical help. Comedown is actually pretty gradual and comfortable now, perhaps I just needed some time to adjust to the drop-off. Will there be a headache developing? Only time will tell but certainly nothing out of the ordinary for phenethylamines unfortunately.

06:00: +

08:00: +
Just took 500mg acetaminophen + 0.75mg clonazepam and downed a glass of water to prepare myself for bed. Visuals are still lurking and my mind is stimulated, sleeping without chemical intervention would be challenging. Probably doable, but I am not willing to find out.

10:00: ±
Went to bed, I’m really tired. There are no visuals anymore, it seems. It doesn’t take long for me to fall asleep.

16:30: -
Just woke up at 05:30 AM, no headache (!), no hangover. Wow, what a trip that was!
10/10

—————————————————————————
Conclusion:

Knowing where this material came from certainly enhanced the magic of this trip and I am deeply grateful to the person who gave it to me. This is without a doubt the most balanced psychedelic phenethylamine I’ve ever tried. It saddens me to know that so few people will be able to bioassay this one. A certified quality drug, absolutely on par, if not superior in many aspects to LSD, which is probably my favorite psychedelic exactly because it’s so balanced in terms of bodily effects, mental clarity, music appreciation, duration of action (my ideal is somewhere in between 6-10 hours, so 2C-TFM is closer to this DOA than acid). This is certainly giving LSD a run for its money. I need to sample this one at 8mg before making this my definite no. 1 psychedelic but it’s definitely in my top 3 because it’s so complete. 2C-T-4 will always be my beloved phenethylamine for sheer power, music enhancement and euphoria but obviously the duration of action is ridiculous and the intensity of the experience is limiting its potential to be considered a top-3 psychedelic. Same goes for 2C-E, while I deeply respect its depth and raw power, it’s just too intense for me to consider it in my top 3.

My 5mg 2C-TFM trial was extraordinarily impressive but even 3mg were interesting, lighthearted and fun. The jump in intensity from 3mg to 5mg was massive so I can’t even begin to comprehend the shift in intensity at 8mg. 8mg will be a challenge, but I think I am willing to take it. To me, 5mg are probably similar to ~30mg 2C-B HCl in terms of strength although physically more comfortable and much more mentally profound and longer-lasting. 8mg will quite possibly rival a 50-55mg dose of 2C-B HCl taken at once, so definitely not something that should be taken lightly. I could imagine that the come-up of 8mg 2C-TFM is easier to endure than stomaching 50mg of 2C-B but in terms of emotional depth this will most likely go into LSD level complexity and ego-death territory. Full-send is the only way to find out, I guess…
