PreTrip Info: Subject had a fine day outside and conversational conflict

Setting: Moderately quiet neighborhood, middle class USA, alone, no pets, no music, no urgent distrations. Subject felt sufficient comfort but not significantly safe, night time outside.

Time = T + x min.

T+1min: Tasted ~ 1 to 2 mg, not extreme taste but strong, not sweet, tangy, bitter, or salty. It tasted like a concentrated food additive that is not particularly tasteworthy.

T+3min: Intravaneosly injected 3-5 mg, did not feel any strong chemical traveling through circulatory system

T+5min: Did not notice enough of an effect to be sure anything was felt at all

T+6min: Intravaneously injected 20mg, felt the timing of life change, felt there was certainly going to be on a trip, that subject was not going to appreciate all of it, and within a few moments time, this all transpired as well as the experience that alterations in perceptions were going on. The alterations were mild, not painful, yet they were shadowed by anxiety in an equal degree.

T+10min: Was subject going through some sort of consciousness swapping, like was his mind was being operated by that of a friends (not on a paranoid like someone else is in control level, but like a friendly sharing of minds sort of way), or was the subject's imagination playing him through a recent memory association and his mind just roleplaying it. Nonetheless, he was talking to himself, his conscious, the spirits, or the voices with his thoughts wanting to just come down off the trip, but not in a panic sort of way at all. He came to grips that he was on a substance he had no experience with so he walked to look in the mirror and found that his eyes were not dilated. If confronted by someone, he could probably hide the fact that he was on anything. Subject layed down to absorb the rarely enjoyed vibes of solitude, and the television - Weather Channel, and comfort of the bed. This is when he noticed that all the dynamics of touch were enhanced with a tinge of pleasure. The warmth, softness, and sheer essence of touching was remarkable in way such as being blessed to feel it. This is also about the time that he noticed a concept he never heard before, something he was feeling now, that his entire bodys skin was importantly connected to the emotions if you will, of the eyes, as though the body had plate tectonics as the earth does, and that their existence was tied directly to the eyes innerworkings, and that a change for the better would be the reward of knowing this newly acquired info - that it was due to the acuteness of keen observation in sensory perception to a degree of delicacy that had previously been unnoticed.

T+15min: The heavy hide feeling was subdued by the joy of an association that he felt like he was experiencing the pleasures of an good LSD body high. He let out a few chuckles, smiled, stretched out, rolled over, and was quite pleased with the most mild of hallucinations and energy within himself. Open eye and Closed eye visuals transpired in the most suttle ways, almost like a wave of colors and emotions was anxious to exit through the realms of the shifty objects he viewed, but they were being held back as he was not under the influence of enough 2CI. He declined to taking more at the moment. However, the following two hours was a wavy cycle of this pleasure and the previous very mild anxiety he previouslyfelt. He was attracted to venturing into the real world yet felt safer by avoiding it all. He was intrigued by the inspirations he experienced yet he was annoyed that he felt compelled to avoid the real world while high. The unattractive vibes were dominated by the rides of traveling his thoughts as though looking through a cleaner window than he ever has. He could see clearly answers to so many of his troubles that he had not been able to before. He drifted into and out of sleep and into and out of consciousness, not necessarily with the same coinciding though. Sometimes he was sleeping but conscious, sometimes he was awake but sleeping, dreaming of answers and pleasures that were to be his foothold to a stronger life.

T+120min: He awoke from an unconscious sleep to find that still felt the effects of the trip, that he was not need of food or drink, but he felt comfortable enough to enjoy the variations in consciousness and perception. For two more hours he fought off a tinge of mild anxiety to be rewarded with pleasures of hope, enlightenment, and gift.

T+240min: The effects of the 2CI have escaped him. They are only to be as a cherished memory thoughtfully welcomed again someday.

Next Day and Conclusion: He would definitely say it was magical and do it again. He slept great all night and the next day he felt great. He awoke with a new perspective on life, on the world, on the his entire perception of reality. What changed was the simple way he digests information as though one hundred ancient Chinese proverbs had ingrained their greatness into him with ease. The suttle differences can sometimes make extraordinary changes. He feel like he is connected to himself more intimately. With LSD he became more connected to open mindedness and stopped being so pretentious about everything he thought he understood. With DMT, he felt more like he was one with the universe. With 2CI he has come to know himself better and was improved by the experience such that daily life's troubles are meaningless and that the true fruit of life happens when he is one with himself and the universe.
