2cb was a surprisingly not fun experience. i felt like i was having a heart attack or something the whole time. breathing was hard, my heart felt like it was in my throat the whole time. i find it interesting to read such positive experiences about it.

i didnt realize there are two type of mdma either. those descriptions seems kind of regular. mdma is almost always mind blowing i think.

Maybe you were looking for 2c-d "the tofu of drugs"? I would be >_>

Just quoting another comment by someone else under here which somehow disappeared, because I thought it was such a good comment:

  Shulgin's "A day at the Stanford museum"[1] is much more representative of the beautiful experience it can provide, and the effects you describe are not at all common from what is generally reported. This said, I don't mean to discount your experience in the slightest and don't doubt that it happened as you described. Not only does everyone react differently, but with the current status of these substances it's also often difficult to know exactly what you're taking and how much of it.

Interestingly for me 2cb had basically zero headspace effects, it just made me see pretty colours for a few hours. Just goes to show you should always test new drugs with a small amount rather than copying other people's dosages.

Is it possible you took something else? 2CB shouldn't have that effect, at least not without overwhelming visuals and laughter as well.

Yeah, I'm skeptical as well. 2C-B should cause wild fractals, especially with your eyes closed.

There’s stuff out there that the kids call “Tuci” or “Tusi”, in the form of a pink powder. That is 100% not 2C-B. It’s a mixture of 2C-B, ketamine, and amphetamine, and maybe some MDMA. Real trail mix of stuff.

Is that in North America yet?

Shit's fucking gross. They literally flavor it with strawberry drink powder to get girls to buy it. I think I saw the results of an assay and there's no 2C chemicals in it at all, it's just strawberry drink powder, K and M. Check out this reggaeton marketing commercial for it haha

I mean, how would I know?

…but yes. I first had it at a circuit party in 2019. And someone had some this summer as well.

I am fairly confident the stuff I had contained a non-trivial amount of 2C-B. I have (what I believe to be) had actual pure 2C-B, and the closed-eye fractals are a good indicator.

Re:Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved (1991) by jaminal on Friday April 01, 2022 @07:16AM (#30877044)
closed eye fractals can happen with either MDMA or ketamine alone, and they synergize with each other to create stronger effects.

so the presence of closed eye visuals on a mixture containing at least MDMA and ketamine would not in any way suggest that it necessarily contains any 2C-B.

I guess it's possible, I did the reagent test where it turns green. I also snorted it. It was slightly psychedelic, the duration was short and sex was intense which lines up with other things I heard about it.

I think 2C-B varies in its effects from person to person a bit more than some of the others. What you describe sounds like what's happened to me when I've pushed the dose a bit high.

I've friends who swear by taking it when coming down from MDMA; where for me doing that always ends up with large chunks of my visual field being replaced with oozing neon magma & me needing to go & have a "lie down..."

Even while reading these "positive experience" on Erowid, I feel very anxious. I am definitely not a candidate for these kinds of drugs.

2CB is a very easy one in low doses. Lots of laughter and grinning and mild enhancement of colours.
