- Date: February 2015
- Gender: Male
- Height: 175 cm / 5.7 ft
- Weight: 75 kg / 165 lbs
- Age: 20
- Set and Setting:
- Setting: We were on vacation and pretty excited about the experience.

- Prior experience: I had one 2C-B experience prior to this with a similar dose. I knew what to expect and I loved it the first time I've tried it, but it was the first time my girlfriend tried it. I had already explored many different substances at that time (MDMA, 2C-B, LSD, Psilocybin just to name a few) and my grilfriend also had a couple of different drug experiences (Amphetamine, 4-FA, Cocaine, 1P-LSD etc.).

00:00:
We both ingested a tiny blue pill advertised as 15mg of 2C-B.
00:40:
We started feeling the effects kick in. The come-up reminded me a little bit of MDMA because we felt stimulated, motivated and happy. My girlfriend felt a little bit nauseous (only mildly) but that faded pretty quickly. I had goosebumps, generally felt cold and had tingling sensations all over my body, which weren't comfortable but also not uncomfortable. We enjoyed listening to soft electronic music and felt really connected to it. The music sounded absolutely fantastic and I went into the bathroom to look in the mirror. My pupils were huge and glazed but oddly enough I didn't mind looking at myself on 2C-B, wheras on other psychedelics my face looks strange and unattractive to me.
01:20:
My girlfriend and I then took a shower which felt incredible. She described it as feeling like a banana in a chocolate fountain because the water was so warm and felt so heavy on the skin, just like melted chocolate running over something. At that point the open-eye visuals started to get really apparent and symmetric patterns all over the wall emerged. We had two really cool, green pictures in our room which depicted birds sitting on a limb. Somehow we hallucinated a skull, two dogs and a man looking like Albert Einstein in it. These pictures also melted, shifted and moved around when we focused on them and duplicated when we looked away. All the colors were brighter and everything looked liked it was covered in jelly.
02:15:
The peak of the experience was approximately at the two hour mark and has been very different from other psychedelics because it felt very wave-like (with a 15mg dosage at least). At one point you could pretty much ignore that you're tripping when you're not focusing on something and then you're fully coalesced with the music and the visuals again. We wrapped ourselves in a blanket, listened to music and closed our eyes which was absolutely beautiful. Depending on the music our closed-eye visuals and our physical senses changed which was pretty interesting. When we listened to Dubstep and Glitch-Hop our bodies felt cold and electric but when we changed the music to something positive we started to get warm rushes through the body and felt very comfortable. 2C-B was extremely clear-headed throughout the experience and there weren't any negative thought loops or confusion (probably due to the low-dose).
03:00:
Touching my girlfriends skin felt very different and erotic so we started having sex. Although sometimes briefly losing my erection (because I got distracted so easily) it was VERY enjoyable. I experienced a strong sense of love and connectedness with my partner during intercourse and I had a lot of energy. The orgasm was the most intense and most pleasurable orgasm I've ever had even though it felt shorter than usual. It was so intense that i even broke out into laughter when I ejaculated because I was so overwhelmed by the euphoria. I can whole-heartedly recommend having sex on 2C-B it is truly great.
03:20:
We were laying in bed the majority of the time and felt pretty chilled and relaxed but I think if we had decided to stand up and move around I'm sure we would have been energetic and giddy. It's really easy to switch feelings on 2C-B and adjusting yourself to your surroundings (I think going out on 2C-B is possible, if you keep the dosage low and I also would not do it, if you have never tried it before). We were constantly giggling and spent the rest of the time looking at things melt and warp.
04:00:
The effects started to slowly diminish at the 4 hour mark and we talked about what we have just experienced. The comedown was very smooth and barely even noticeable.
05:00:
Our senses and our sight returned back to normal and we were in a positive mood after the experience. We had no trouble falling asleep about two hours after the effects had worn off.
The Day After:
There were no signs of a hangover for me (just like with other psychedelics) just a positive little afterglow. My girlfriend felt a little bit exhausted but she had no hangover as well.
Conclusion:
It was a short & fun trip nothing spiritual & deep like an LSD-trip for example. I think 2C-B is perfectly fine for recreational purposes (especially in low doses) but a good set & setting is still necessary. It was very easy to control the trip and I had a great time with my girlfriend. I absolutely love 2C-B because it provides a lot of unique effects.
