I decide to take it one night at home while sitting at my computer. I am feeling comfortable, my stress levels have been low, and I have consumed approximately 2 grams of phenibut 8 hours prior to taking the 2C-D. My apartment is decorated with various RGB lights throughout, as I find the colorful lights to be quite beautiful on psychedelics. My PC and computer peripherals are also filled with RGB lights, which I enjoy watching while tripping as well. Since this is my first experience with 2C-D, I do not plan to mix it with any other substances, except for the phenibut I had consumed earlier in the day, as I find that it puts in me in a more relaxed state and helps ease any anxiety that I may experience when consuming psychedelics.
T 0:00 - I take the 2C-D, 25mg crystalline powder, orally in a capsule. I had eaten a couple hours earlier. I was advised to wait 3 - 4 hours after eating, so I did have concerns this may have an impact, but it didn't appear to delay or mute the trip at all. It still kicked in fast and was stronger than I expected given the reports I had read previously.
T 0:40 - First effects are felt. I'm starting to feel off, but I can't really explain how, just a general strange feeling.
T 0:56 - I'm starting to feel warm now and starting to get some euphoria. My hands are sweaty now. There's a nice, warm buzz feeling to it. No visuals yet. It feels a little sedating.
T 01:20 - Definitely feeling it stronger now. My hoodie is starting to feel very comfortable at this point, providing a warm and cozy feeling. Visuals are kicking in now, I'm noticing that colors are starting to shift hues, similar to 2C-B. Colors seem to be really pretty. The text on my PC is starting to shift as well. The headspace is clear, even more so than 2C-B, and I can think normally. The warm feeling is also really nice.
T 01:27 - Talking is a little difficult and awkward now. I'm rambling to my partner. Everything seems to have a colorful glow to it, and I'm starting to see rainbow glow effects on my phone and PC screens. It is mild compared to 2C-B visuals, but everything looks just as pretty as it does on 2C-B.
T 01:39 - Everything looks further away. My phone seems like it's 5 feet away in my hands, and it feels strange and uncanny to hold. There's a disassociative-like effect kicking in now, and everything begins to feel a lot more dreamlike and unreal. I don't recall this feeling/effect being present in 2C-B

T 01:53 - I'm feeling incredible right now. I get a strong urge to try using my VR headset to view adult content. I can't figure out how to set up my VR headset, instead I keep standing up and tracing the wires before giving up and sitting back down at my desk.
T 01:56 PM - I can't explain why, but I get the urge to just stand up and do nothing. It feels good to stand. My partner keeps glancing over at me. I know am acting strange now. I remember why I say 2C-B is like my catnip, it seems that 2Cs make me act just as strange as a cat does on catnip.
T 02:21 - I still can't figure out how to use my VR headset, and it's driving me crazy. I can tell it is plugged in, and I keep picking it up, but when I trace the cables they appear to go under my desk. I don't want to under my desk for some reason, and yet I can't figure out where these cables are going from there. My cat begins to mess with me, he keeps running at my legs, and when I look at him, he runs and hides behind his kitty couch and stares at me. I go to pet him, and he runs away. Eventually he lets me pet him. His fur looks insane to me right now and his eyes appear to be huge, which startles me for a moment. I decide to play with the cat for a while before I go back to messing with the wires on my VR headset again. I eventually figure out that they go behind my PC, but I still can't figure out where they go from there. I remember that I have to turn on the WiFi-connected power adaptor but the headset still doesn't work after turning it on. Leaning on top of my PC feels so good right now, the warm air blowing out the top feels nice. I could probably lean over my computer all night if I wanted to.
T 03:07 - I figured out how to get into VR. The USB cable was unplugged. I finally get to play an erotic game in VR for a while. Masturbating on 2C-D felt intense and a lot better than it does sober. The experience also feels a lot more realistic in VR. Afterwards I go to sit on the couch. I get a random thought, what if I am crazy? The makes me wonder if I would know if I am crazy. It seems like a strange thought, and it makes me wonder if someone would tell me. I send a (now embarassing) text to my partner, who is currently asleep, asking if I am a crazy person. I continue to contemplate whether I am actually crazy while I lay on the couch. This seems to be a common theme when I take 2Cs, they tend to make me question my sanity on the comedown. It feels really comfortable to rest my face on my arm.
T 04:14 - I passed out while laying on my arm and have now woken up. The nap felt great, and I don't normally enjoy napping. I'm hungry now. I'm still tripping, but it's not as strong anymore. The visuals have mostly dissipated at this point. I eat a donut before heading to sleep for the night.
Final thoughts:
The effects are similar to 2C-B but not as strong on the visuals. Colors are still beautiful like on 2C-B (which is my favorite part of tripping on 2C-B). 2C-D also has a unique effect to it, it seems to be more sedating than stimulating, and creates more of a dissociative/dreamy effect than 2C-B. The headspace seems even more clear than 2C-B, I can still think normally on it even though I do act stranger than normal. The warmth and the cozy feelings are really nice, and the feelings produced are more reminiscent of an opioid like substance rather than the MDMA like euphoria and stimulation that I tend to feel on 2C-B. This substance seems like it would be great for relaxing, and would probably make intimacy quite fun without being too powerful to be distracting. I think, for that reason, 2C-D would make for a better aphrodisiac than 2C-B would. It definitely made me feel "in the mood" during the experience. It was the easiest to manage psychedelic I have tried so far, and the cozy feeling it produces seems to be unique as well. Overall, while I still prefer 2C-B, if I was looking for something more relaxing I would probably seek out 2C-D again.
