Thoughts on 2C-B?

[Oeaohoo]

My friend has access to some 2C-B and I am considering trying it. Do any of you have experience with 2C-B? Do you have any thoughts or advice on how to use the trip effectively?

I know Leo had an old video where he described experiencing physical death on it. Most other people seem to report fairly superficial experiences, though, at least compared to other psychedelics. I have also heard that it can have quite a heavy body load.

Eh, it's alright. If that's all you have access to, it's still better than nothing. Though if it's sourced from darknet markets and especially in pressed form, it's difficult to assess the purity. Phenethylamines in general carry a more notable body load due to vasoconstriction, while rarely providing anything special that can't be had from tryptamines. Not entirely worthless by any means, but never my first choice. 2C-B is one of the most forgiving in that regard as well as tolerance-wise. I did have my first complete awakening to Solipsism on 2C-B, but that was with 120mg, which regular people shouldn't push. Otherwise it's pretty decent as a sort of training wheels psychedelic, but then again so can 4-HO-MET and the like.

@LambdaDelta Thanks for your response.

That’s a very strong dose. What is it like at that high of a dose?

Yes, these are pills so I won’t be able to test them. That being said, other people have taken them already and described the expected effects of 2c-b.

I’m a bit worried about this as I have been having problems with vasoconstriction from nicotine use recently. I’ll have to cut that out before I try it.

I’m hoping that since I already have experience with other psychedelics (mostly acid, also psilocybin, Changa and 5-MeO) and have a long-time interest in metaphysical inquiry, it might prove to be a more profound experience for me. We’ll have to see, if I ever take it…

As powerful as some of the classics like LSD or 5-MeO's at that dose. Lesson is if you take enough of almost any psychoactive, it could launch you into God-consciousness all the same. Whether you'll survive the ordeal is a separate matter. Posted my old trip report, check it out if interested:

Not ideal, at this point you just have to see how trustworthy the source is. 30-35mg is a good starting dose for someone experienced with other psychedelics.

Cut it out regardless, but for vasoconstriction specifically it's good practice to have something like clonidine around, plus benzos/antipsychotics as emergency trip killers. 2C-B is pretty light though, the real trouble starts at 2C-E, DOx, and NBMOes.

Possible. I've seen everything from people accidentally snorting 200mg and simply drowning in a sea of visuals, which is child's play next to my 120mg or even Leo's 20mg. Depends on quality of one's consciousness, but also there's a pretty definite ceiling via receptor affinity levels and such.
