So this weekend I am finally taking some 2c-e I come into awhile ago. Pretty excited and looking forward to such a different experience. I've been doing a lot of reading on erowid on different trip reports preparing myself for the intricacies that await me. I've tripped only a handful of times, so 2c-e makes me anxious because it's so powerful; I'm mentally preparing myself for anything. I'm going to be taking it with 2 other buddies saturday afternoon which should help bring the anxiety down a bit. We pretty much plan on tripping into the night.
I'm looking into getting some trippy movies. I have been dying to watch Tron on any hallucinogen (if you've seen it you'd understand, plus I'm pretty geeky), but I don't think my buddies will enjoy that too much. I watched Yellow Submarine last weekend on shrooms and that was a nice relaxing evening; I was glad the fab four could save the day. It was really making me anxious! Any good suggestions? Last time my buddy and I tripped on acid he tried to get me to watch 13 ghosts and I was like "wtf is wrong with you?"
I'll be bringing my trusty iPod queued to good vibes which is great for getting me out of low spots. Also a sketch pad and some colored pencils. I'm constructing a playlist right now with plenty of MGMT, those fucking druggies
Anyway, I'll be posting my trip report in this thread over the weekend.
Without further wait. My apologies for a long trip report, but every moment of it was so good I just gotta get the entire night out there. Enjoy.
To Feel Invincible
Substances: 10mg (oral) 2c-e, Various amounts of cannabis smoked throughout the night. Starting time: 6 pm
So the plan got changed around a bit. One of my friends decided to bail because he had been up all night on 3 pills of E at a rave in San Fran. He really wanted to, but knew that his body just couldn't handle it right now, which I totally understand. My other friend and myself had kind of a break in school right now and had free time to kill, so we decided to go forward with the plan without him.
We took the 2c-e at 6 pm. We knew we were in for the long haul and planned on coming down around 3-4 AM. I brought some trippy movies, an ipod with a killer playlist, a sketchpad and some glowsticks. We decided to chill and watch "Dazed and Confused" while we lit up my friends new bong. About an hour into the movie we were starting to feel the effects. I feel, strangely dizzy. Being both newbies to this substance I decided that my friend and I should keep up communication on the come up to document for next time. I ask my friend, "Hey man, so tell me how you're feeling? You getting dizzy or nauseous? You feeling anything different? He replied that he was but it was ok. Next thing I started to notice was that sound and perception were somehow warped. The movie felt like it kept repeating the same lines over and over again even though the scene had changed. Sometimes, I felt like I couldnt keep up with the dialogue. At this point, visuals started to kick in. The TV, felt as if it was breathing, growing larger and smaller with my own breaths. I knew I was getting fucked up. I glanced up at the ceiling which seemed to be crawling with four-legged creatures and the floor was a living pattern. I looked at my buddy and all I could mutter through my giggles was, Tripping balls My buddy looks at me and shakes his head with a smile, Me too but Im not feeling so good. And with that statement he rushed to the bathroom from which I could his vomiting. I turned over to my girlfriend and just gave a sad a face. It was almost a psychological thing, because he had thrown up I somehow wanted to throw up as well. But I fought the urge and controlled my stomach for a good 10 minutes and all the bad vibes passed. The movie ended with some killer music and my buddy and I decided we needed to go for a drive downtown.
As we try to leave for downtown, we pack up everything we think we need. Water, a map, fuck we even brought snacks; this was going to be journey! After seriously a good 20 minutes we get everything. A 4 minute task takes days! It is so hard to function coherently on this drug weve decided. Thoughts are just difficult to say the least. You feel like an ADD kid at a candy store. We walk out the door and the pine tree to my right looks like it has sprouted peacock feathers with blue eyeballs at the tips. The other trees are shimmering with diamonds. Our girlfriends lead us behind his apartment complex; however, my entire body is numb at this point, I felt like I was on a Disney Land ride as the plastic looking scenery passed by. We cram into the back of my buddys Lexus which I mistake for a spaceship. We drive downtown with all the casino lights while blasting psychedelic rock. My buddy decided we were hungry so we proceed to whole foods.
At whole foods, we are overcome with the life-size pumpkin display out front. It is delightfully freighting. We enter whole foods and cant stop staring. It was like we walked into Heaven. The whole store was lit up and everything was so bright the hallucinations were really kicking in. Every aisle we walked down looked like it had mirrors on both sides so the food item seemed to repeat into infinity. At the salad bar, the food was actually coming alive; squirming in bowls and dishes. It was totally amazing to see your food stare back at you! At this point, we are as giddy as two school boys. My buddy and I split up while I go pee. Which by the way, going pee is the most glorious feeling on this drug when it finally happens. I go in the bathroom and I amazed by the flowing and rolling tiles on the walls. I can see little action scenes or natures scenes acting themselves out in stone form. This is when I finally realize Im in the bathroom at whole foods and how funny would it be if I had an acid-like freak out in the bathroom; no one would know until the employees cleaned up or my friends finally found me. This thought for some reason fascinated me.
I find my girlfriend and make my way to my buddy and his girlfriend. This is when I had the most amazing discovery. Fruit is just way too fun to play with when you are hallucinating. We found a bucket of assorted berries, the blackberries and raspberries where twirling in your hand as you ate them and the strawberries felt like furry berry fingers. After we made our purchases we head to 7-eleven to get our girlfriends coffee so they could stay up with us. At the 7-eleven we decide we need to go by the frat house to see whats up.
We are still tripping hard at this point, and we end up at the frat house. All four of us head in to see what party was going on, only to stumble into the middle of a coke party. Having never done or never had the desire to do coke I just started tripping even harder because I thought we were in a mad house. The couches were crawling with designs and the wood walls were swirling and moving. We stayed here for a 20 minutes max because we wanted to get back home and be in a trippier environment.
At this point we call our two rave buddies and tell them to come over. We wanted to level with them about how this drug was making us feel. Because I totally felt that given the right mindset, this drug could totally be a rave/club drug at a 10mg dose. So they come over and gave us a quick light show to see if we were feeling that dance/energetic feeling. I really enjoyed the lights and music; at one point my body felt very reminiscent of Ecstasy as I got a rolling like tingle in my neck. I was feeling that the entire night, but when focused into enjoying the lights it increased that body pleasure even more significantly. I could definitely see 10mg 2c-e paired with E for a blissful time. They talked for a bit, which was nice because the 2c-e definitely made us very social; just hearing sounds and voices was very pleasurable during this trip. The visuals at this point where becoming a lot more minute but were still very present at this point.
We decided to smoke a couple more bowls and go for a nature walk and just talk. So we head out towards our college campus and just watch the scenery in the nighttime which again was frightfully exciting as the trees look menacingly towards you and waved at you with their arm-like branches. The night sky was beautiful as it reflected the lights from downtown. We walked back to my buddies apartment where we decided to smoke some more and watch the original Matrix, which turned out to be a good time. It was 3AM and the effects of 2c-e had pretty much subsided. If anything, I was more exhausted if anything. The next day I woke up with a pretty gnarly hangover. My brain hurt. I had a decent headache all night while trying to sleep with faint signs the next day.
My final thoughts on 2c-e: definitely a worthwhile and insightful substance. At a 10mg dose you felt a high that I would put on a level of legendary. You feel invincible. And I say that because everything is so good and so rewarding and so worthwhile on this substance that you feel like no one could ruin your day. You feel like a million bucks. If anything I would compare the high on the substance to the body and social aspects of E, the visuals of mushrooms and the energy and wisdom of acid. I know its not the good old LSD-25 that is so legendary, but it is definitely on the same level if not higher.
