Here's my review of 250mg of 2c-i bought from vendor ShpongleStarship on Agora.
Now I must preface this by saying I purchased it bloody ages ago (before evolution died probably around February?) so the details of the transaction are a bit hazy but...
Communication: None needed, I think there may have been a nice 'thank you' or something
Shipping: UK-UK Within a day or two of ordering I had the product
Stealth: Great. Nice thick MBB.
Price: Good value 250mg was around £25 maybe more? So £2 per dose which I think is excellent.
Product: Not sure at first but turned out great. See report below
Overall: Would definitely use this vendor again. They have a range of 2c's and other psychs that I want to try.
Background: I had two previous outings with 2ci before my third experience today. Once at warehouse project with some stuff from a trusted dealer stacked on top of a load of MDMA and it was fantastic. I loved the 'electricity' of it and the psychedelic headspace it added to the MDMA. A crazy night and I wanted more.
A while later and dealer mate had stopped trading so I found ShpongleStarship on Agora and took a dose ~10-12mg 2ci on top of a chilled (for me) 80mg of self-washed MDMA for a house music gig in a club. The MD was a nice batch and my plan was to have a mellow evening and make it interesting with the 2ci rather than burning out on straight MDMA. Now this my second experience left me disappointed with 2ci, it wasn't at all like the first time with the tracers and morphing and all the jazz I'd expected. Had I under dosed? Was it bunk? I did have quite a psychedelic mind space but my thoughts moved from one subject to the next and I was struggling to keep my head above the 'water' of sobriety and negativity. I managed to get a hold of it and ended up enjoying the night but in retrospect I was distracted by set&setting type stuff and the fact I wasn't seeing the visual effects I expected. Also a lower dose than I needed/had before.
Trip Report: Now on to my third experience today, a beautiful sunny day and nothing to do! I don't wanna go crazy with it but I'm tempted to give 2ci another shot. So... 10am ingest small dose of ~9mg. Waited for a bit, took a shower bing slight alert of dizziness then it goes away. I find a coffee I'd made earlier and forgotten about so I chug it cold and ten minutes later bam! That kick started it. I start feeling ampy and have swells of euphoria. I look out the window and see a fan sprinkler watering the grass. It's marvelous, actually marvelous. I am marveling a water sprinkler. The water catches the bright sunlight like diamonds glittering as it arches down onto the lush green grass. I stare at a fucking sprinkler for like 30 seconds, wondering if it could become some sort of art installation. I catch myself and sit down to find some trippy music to push me deeper before I go outside. I find myself alternating between waves of giddyness and wondering if it's still working as I stare at a familiar computer screen. I ingest a further ~9mg moreishly. This stuff pulses in waves. I fuck about for longer than I should inside my house and eventually honor my original plan and venture outside around 1pm.
Wow I am indeed high, I am woozy and my mind wobbles but my body is relatively under control as I walk down the street through the fresh air past normal people. I feel slightly paranoid and find myself planning my moves ahead to blend in. (I have only been high in public in the daytime a handful of times) Everything is bright and sounds stand out like individual sound effects. My mind is racing faster than normal, or maybe just different than normal and I find myself relying on autopilot a lot. I manage to buy a paper (deciding against the food in the shop it made me feel nauseous to look at) and head to a park. The road to get there is pretty busy and I start to get quite anxious with the stimulation but I make it there and choose a patch in a field away from people to chill, laying on the beautiful grass in the sun.
Anxiety towards external stimuli subsides and my thoughts turn inwards though still tinged with negativity. I read the paper to distract myself and I find myself drawn the the colourful adverts over the text. I find reading slightly confusing but the stories I can make sense of sound like /r/nottheonion articles, everything is transparent and absurd. This gets me onto what I can only describe as a hippy train of thought. I look out across the open park to kids playing and muse on big stuff like nature, the way human society is organised etc etc.
I notice a passenger jet moving across the clear sky overhead and I'm astounded "That is fucking mental. There are hundreds of people in that!" I spend a good while in the park feeling great, soaking in the sun and then decide to return home, feeling like a rockstar at first then gradually getting the creeping anxiety back with the bombardment of the busy street. I manage another shop visit and pick up some fresh bread.
When I get it home I hold it up and inhale deeply savoring the scent, have deep thoughts about the way I'm spreading butter on it and then forget whether I just ate it. Definitely still high. Glad to be in the cool indoors I listen to more music and start downloading Yellow Submarine to watch something trippy and pleasant. It is around 6pm that I gently ebb out of the high as I get distracted researching other trippy films and generally enjoying the cognitive state I'm in. The return to baseline takes all evening (up til now) and I got a slightly bloated and painful stomach but not really any 'crash' or overwhelming negative symptoms although I would say there is a definite body load to this stuff.
All in all this substance has won me back round and I can now place my second experience much better. I went out for a sparkly phenethylamine adventure and with a little care was able to steer myself through a psychedelic journey of at times bewildering cognitive enhancement to experience mild but highly enjoyable visual effects and trippy headspace.
TL;DR - Went to the park. It was good.
Mannnnn, I read the whole thing and the TL;DR was just that? Worth it....
