I’m an advanced psychonaut. Not a brag but I’ve been exploring off and on for 40 years. LSD in the 1000+ trips at 300-500ug well over 500 times. High quality shrooms at 7g 100s of times. DMT vapes for hours and free based alone and with other psychedelics. Ketamine on top of it all, toss some nitrous in for good measure. Candy flips, nexus flips, hippy flips. If I can get ahold of it and have to tested I’m in.

Recently got some injectable 2c-b in an aqueous solution so I figured I’d give it a rip.

We talk a lot about set and setting and while I don’t recommend that anyone do as I do, I do recommend that everyone taking to consideration their set and setting before they engage in any sort of psychedelic experience.

I’m admittedly and have been somewhat irresponsible over the years with my tripping and one of my favorite things to do is to take a lot of psychedelics and go out in public spaces and try to hold it together and that can be quite the experience in an of itself.

Anyway, not recommending anybody do that. It’s my thing and it kinda has been since day one, my first acid trip at an AC/DC concert on four hits of blissfully strong LSD.

I decided to do 15 mg of the injectable. I did some thinking on it and my regular layer around the house dose is 10 and I really wanted to get out there and have gotten up to 60 to 70 nasal administered and that’s quite the trip. I will say that anything over 50 up the nose is pretty damn intense.

I was not prepared whatsoever for 15 mg injected intramuscularly. I took a shower and knew very well that it would hit me fast but I was clean and I had a clear path to the bedroom so I injected into my deltoid in the kitchen, started timer so that I could gauge the trip and report on it, and started heading back towards the bedroom.

Within two minutes I had to immediately lay down on the bed. It was like being on a DMT blastoff. I ended up with my torso on the bed, laying on my back, with my feet on the floor and the towel around my waist. I had planned to put on some clothes right after I injected it but that was not happening.

To say it was overwhelming is an understatement. Like I said earlier, I have a lot of experience in the psychedelic universe and thankfully I was able to assure myself that I had gotten the dose right. That was my first concern is that I had somehow taken more than the 15 mg I intended to and that was about all I could really put together other than the fact that I was a little worried about the second syringe that I had made up for my girl.

After she saw me hit the bed, I didn’t really think I needed to worry about her rushing off to join me on this experience. Still integrating the trip today but needless to say or I guess I should say that I learned more in the first hour than I have in the last 20 or 30 trips I’ve taken out my lineage and my person and who I am and what I’m not and what I aspire to be and what’s possible. My empathy was extreme and continues to be so. I got a lot out of it, but the dose was way too high to be in any way something therapeutic. It was like a sledgehammer.

My girl kept the room quiet for me and this is a magnificent tripping partner and knows her way around psychedelics. The slightest noise seemed to hurt. Physically mentally and spiritually.

At one point, her phone rang and it felt like I had been hit with lightning. She muted the phone thankfully and we laid her in the quiet.

I was somewhat able to resolve my phone screen at the 30 minute mark and I had no idea whether five minutes or an hour had passed and I was just able to start recognizing the room for what it was but I still couldn’t make out any of our art or separate the fractals in the colors in the lightning and the swirling vivid colors from the rest of the world. There was no way I would’ve been able to walk. At about an hour I moved up into the bed properly and laid on my back and about the hour and a half mark I was coherent and cogent and was able to start expressing what I was experiencing and what I’ve been through.

It was truly exceptional. I plan to go back and explore but I don’t think I’m going to be doing 15 mg anytime soon but rather keep it to somewhere around five and see how that plays out.

If you’re going to be playing around with this compound, do you remember that the dosing curve does seem to be logarithmic so 50 mg is a lot more than double 25 mg in terms of effect and my best guess is I took the equivalent of some well over 100 mg of oral or nasal 2c-b. Maybe more.

Temperature regulation was OK and I was able to focus on my breathing and that’s one of the reasons I wasn’t sure how long I had passed because it felt like I was taking a breath every 15 seconds or so so was quite surprised to find a 30 minutes past when I finally was able to kind of see the timer. Interestingly enough and this is pretty common with this compound is that it clears quickly so within two hours I was in a position to we were on the house and do so without worrying about navigating the furniture or pouring water out of the carafes in the refrigerator.

It’s my favorite psychedelic. And I don’t see myself putting it up my nose or taking it orally moving forward.

Be careful and enjoy I’m still integrating so I might come back and add to this as things come to my mind. I will say this as a final note, at about the 2 1/2 hour mark took about 50 mg of ketamine and then at about a three hour mark I took another 50 mg of ketamine and that was a really nice addition to add to the end of the trip.

That’s a photo of what I believed to be at the time 7mgs. I was weighing it out to make a visual note for myself to see what a key bump would look like.

My dumbass thought 0.07 meant 7mgs. Nope. That’s seven tenths of a hundred milligrams, aka, 70mgs. I just racked it up and sniffed it casually.

I left my apartment to go meet my girlfriend at the train. In about 5 minutes I thought to myself, wow this is a lot more intense than I thought I’d be.

And then two minutes later, I called out of work.

By the time I met with my girlfriend, which was 10 minutes post dose, I was in a full visual fold. Everything was folding into itself, geometry was everywhere.

When we got back to the apartment, about, 20 minutes post dose, I came clean. I told her I took a cactus derived drug and was unsure of what’s happening to me, and wasn’t sure if it was laced or not.

I was in the throws of the beginning of an incredibly intense full on psychedelic experience. And then I realized, I was off by ten. I was like wait a minute, that wasn’t 7mgs, that was 70.

And I just realized how fucking dumb I was. I just fucking overdosed myself like an actual fucking idiot.

I literally melted into the chair for 5 full hours. Just fucking tripping nuts. Like absolute banana town. Patterns, fractals, everything morphing and folding, just literal full on, real deal, heavy-intense psychedelic visuals, I was basically blind. I couldn’t drive or see straight, I must’ve met the definition of blindness to some extent.

And my mind was clear, but I was blasted at the same time. There were waves of intense, what I’d call, psychedelia, like I felt at one with the world. I was a part of the universe, the material of existence. I couldn’t tell you where my skin stopped and the air began, there was no boundary anymore.

And then I’d snap out of it and go Jesus Christ dude what the fuck is happening.

Either way, I’m dumb as fuck.

I just wanted to do a sneaky little bump and go fuck my girlfriend but instead I got ass fucked by cactus for 5 hours.

If you guys wanna know anything I’ll be around, I’m still energized, but I’m back to earth ready to report

I’m really curious about this, particularly the lowest dose. Have you ever done 5mg and felt anything (almost like a micro dose)? Alternatively, have you ever done an exceptionally high dose (e.g. 50mg) and felt as if you are present within an inter-dimensional realm of psychedelia? Please share some experiences :)

I don't hear people talking about this. Like ever. I can see reasons why it's not a general go to, but imho it can be a powerful tool in the right scenario and for the right person because of its very properties. How it highlights energetics. Lifts mood. Has a cutting, amplified feeling. Quiets mental activity. Is often so tactile.

From personal experience, I've recovered a repressed childhood... you know... memory on it. Experienced spontaneous IFS work. Opened up complexity around sexuality and bottom dysphoria. Had a whole trip where I vividly journeyed back to a teenage girl self I never was. Taken it in a trauma flood state and done deep non verbal processing in stillness. Taken it a number of days after an mdma session and opened up a sea of insights.

Just did a 1-1 with a guide two days ago. Someone I have done mdma with three times so far and have an unusually intimate relationship with. Crossed a new threshold of touch intimacy, especially in terms of giving. Linked up with their energy, attuned below concious thought. Feel my heart now more open, more at peace, kinder, more connected with others. More child like, more playful. A state shift, probably, but one past any place I've ever been when not on drugs.

This is collection of delicate introspective ambience perfect for relaxation while having a good trip. Happy listening!

17mins since drop. also got a couple of beers and a dab cart, we chillin bois

EDIT: I also packed crackers and 2 bottles water

Should I expect much nausea last time I did 30 I puked it all up and didn't trip

Ever since last year I used a considerable amount of 2cb. To me it really feels similar to acid but much milder in many ways and still having the ability to think clearly, and also much shorter. In many ways, it felt more casual than weed even, in the sense that I could handle it much better in the way I responded to it. Come-ups were sometimes uncomfortable but that would usually pass quickly, after it was just smooth sailing. The drug would wear off after about 3 hours, and I would just be completely sober by then, as if I hadn't taken the drug. You can also redose and you will come right back up. No tolerance either. Sometimes i would even use in consecutive days. If I had 5 hours before work started, I could dose and confidently know that I would be good by the time I would need to go to work. I could interact with everyone and nobody would notice that I'm on it. No hangover, nothing. I think I used probably more or less 20-25 times since almost a year ago. I did start to feel like I was getting cocky so I stopped. Surely this can't be good for you right? However I experienced virtually no side effects, except for one of the last times I did it I had some anxious thoughts. So what's the downside? What's the catch?

I got a 20mg 2cb pill waiting for me for a techno set and my boys have joints as well as K. I think this will be fine, but I’ve heard different things about its potency based on how you take it. I know shit can be underdosed so what’s the best way to take it to maximize my chances of getting the best trip out of this amount? I just want the strongest option I’m a tweak, thanks🙏

Got a room on the coast for five days, plan on tripping on 2-CB for the first 3 (25mg) and then 125 -150mg MDA for the 4th day and then recovering the last day. I will be going to one of the beaches today and dropping one 25mg, pretty laid back beach with not much people this time of year and will be hitting up the beaches along the coast (obviously dropping at the beach and staying until wears off) for context I’ve tripped on MDMA, MDA, Psilocybin, LSD, 2-5i, 25b and dmt more than a handful of times and am very good at keeping my cool. any music suggestions and how long will it last? I’ll post more pics during comeup. wish me luck!

Hello beautiful people, I'm so excited about your experiences and I want to try 2cb for the first time, planning to visit a psy rave this weekend so it is an ideal opportunity!

I've got the pressed pink NASA which says is 13mg.

Here I would like to ask your wisdom/experience to find an answer to my question: should I go 1 pill from the start or split it in half and redose later the other half ?

I m experienced with MDMA and LSA, will accompany the 2cb with weed that night(probably in the comedown).

I have read one can be too much, while half can be too low, so I'm confused..

Again thank you very much in advance for your advices.

Got a show Thursday night planning to do 2cb with Ket
Then Friday afternoon got a show for 4.5/5hrs amd i plan on doing 1 dose
Then friday night another show and plan on dropping some more 2cb

Am i pushing it? Am i taking too much? Just want reassurance
I will be planning to use 5 pills for the 3 shows

Background

My wife and I just got back from a 3-day festival (Nite Harts) where we tried 2C-B for the very first time. I picked up some 10mg gel tabs about a month ago intending to test them at home first, but life got busy and we never got around to it.

The original festival plan was MDMA on one day, 2C-B on another, and play day 3 by ear. We ended up improvising, but it turned into an incredible weekend.

Day 1: The Nexus Flip

• The plan: We originally planned to take just 2C-B, but heavy rain was forecasted for Saturday, so we decided to roll on Friday instead.

• Dosing: MDMA: Dropped around 7:00 PM (~210mg for me, ~180mg for my wife). I also had a couple of drinks beforehand and was hitting a sativa vape throughout the night.

• 2C-B: About 90 minutes to 2 hours into the roll, we decided to try the classic Nexus flip. We each took one 10mg gel tab. Not entirely sure on the best route, we held them sublingually for 10–15 minutes before swallowing.

The experience:

• About 30–45 minutes later, it kicked in smoothly. The 2C-B blended seamlessly into the MDMA without fighting it—it extended the roll and enhanced music appreciation. Visuals were mild and very manageable: when standing still looking at the stage, I noticed subtle digital/wavy line patterns reminiscent of an LSD come-up.

• The comedown: Left with a solid afterglow, smoked a couple of joints at the hotel, and went to sleep easily.

Day 2: Standalone 2C-B (20mg)

• Morning after: Surprisingly, zero MDMA hangover. Woke up refreshed, grabbed breakfast, and prepped for Saturday.

• Dosing: Around 6:30–7:00 PM, we each took two tabs (20mg total). I had two BeatBoxes and a whiskey & coke; my wife had one drink. Kept hitting the sativa pen.

The experience:

• An hour in, there wasn't a distinct, heavy "hit," but we found ourselves deeply locked into the music.

• For the next 2–3 hours, we danced non-stop with the energy of an MDMA roll, but with complete mental clarity and memory retention. Usually on MDMA, parts of the night blur together; on 2C-B, we were 100% present.

• Visuals remained subtle compared to LSD or psilocybin, but stage lights, lasers, and colors were distinctly amplified.

• My wife initially thought she wasn't feeling much until I pointed out she had been dancing with effortless energy for three hours straight. Navigating to the shuttle in the rain felt slightly disorienting (likely the mild psychedelic headspace), but we made it back, smoked, and slept fine.

Day 3: Heavy Roll + Redose + 2C-B

• Morning after: Still feeling great with no real fatigue or comedown.

• Dosing: MDMA: Initial drop around 6:30 PM (225mg me, 200mg wife).

• MDMA Redose: 90 minutes later (~110mg me, ~90mg wife).

• 2C-B: About an hour after the redose, with two hours left in the fest, we dropped 10mg of 2C-B. Later at the official afterparty, we dropped another 10mg (20mg total).

The experience:

• We definitely pushed the envelope on doses here, but the 2C-B again complemented the roll exceptionally well. Unlike a candyflip where LSD and MDMA feel like they're competing for the driver's seat, 2C-B acts like an amplifier for the roll and deepens the sensory euphoria. We danced until about 2:00 AM before calling it and heading back.

Takeaways

We came away massive fans of 2C-B. It's gentle, functional, and forgiving on the body:

1. Nexus Flipping: Phenomenal combo. It extends the roll's peak and smooths out the comedown without the chaotic headspace of traditional psychedelics.

2. Standalone Rave Alternative: 20mg gave us the music enhancement and physical energy of rolling without the memory loss or rough Tuesday comedown.

3. Question for the community: How much does set/setting dictate 2C-B's character? Since this was outdoors with massive production, does the experience shift significantly at an indoor venue or smaller club setting?

ive fried my receptors with acid the past 3 weeks or so, ive done it like 8 times only actually tripping once is this why im not feeling the 2c-b? Tonight ive snorted 20mg and dont feel much last night i did in total 30mg and didn't feel much

The only 2cb I’ve got access to is 20mg pills. I’ve done both shrooms and mdma before so I’m pretty familiar with the intended effects. We’d enter the venue before 12am and it ends at 4am. Should I get 1 or 2 pills for a real fun experience? I’m also running this with K as some of my friends are doing that throughout.

As pills are so commonly under dosed, how many pills would you take for a 4 day festival? I can only acquire pills, but want to take 2C-B every day (alongside MDMA on the last day). I have experience with 2C-B powder, but never pills. For context, the festival is abroad, hence why I can’t find powder. Please can you give me some advice?

Has a tiny kite imprinted on one side

hello!

i am experienced with psychedelics and i have taken 2cb a few times in pressed pills, but they were not very good and i only got good visuals once after smoking some weed a few hours after taking. otherwise they felt like either nothing or like i was almost rolling but not quite, which i found kind of frustrating and just made me wish i had taken molly instead. i have some powder now to hopefully dose properly.

first question is relating to tolerance and cross tolerance: me and my friend are planning to do shrooms in 3 days. ive heard 2cb tolerance is delayed? if i take 2cb today will it impact my tolerance for shrooms in 3 days time?

second: when i had the pressed pills they took an extremely long time to hit, like i mean 2hrs 30min at LEAST. so i was partially considering taking a dose orally and then doing a couple 1-2mg bumps until the main dose hits. thoughts on that?

third: if i take the dose on an empty stomach, how long until i am able to eat (to make it hit faster)?

fourth: is ketamine + 2cb a good time? was thinking i could mix a little bit of k into the bumps just because i have some, but im not super attached to that idea lol

thanks!

i am planning to try it and i dont know much about it

I am going to a festival abroad and can’t get a mg scale (as they are all unavailable on online platforms). I will, however, be able to get a small scoop that comes with gel capsules. Has anyone had any success with measuring 2C-B without a mg scale? I know that it is far from ideal, but based on my post last night, it seems that powder could still be preferable to pills. Any advice?

Hi all,

there's a chance I can be having my first 2cb experience. A friend gifted me 2 NASA rockets (and I don't know where to get them, please don't dm asking where to get it) and they are 15mg each. I've been told nasa pills are usually underdosed and it'll be weak, and to just take both at 30mg. However, I've gotten advice like this before, but it was with LSD, that with my experience with other psychs (mushrooms and dmt) one tab would be underwhelming. I did two and it was a rough night lol..

I'm curious if you have any advice for a first trip? What do you like to do on 2cb? What are the effects like at 15mg, and 30mg? Do you take it on an empty stomach or what? Lastly, fav time of day to partake?

Slightly nervous but looking forward to it. Stay safe
