Low Dose 2c-i

I decided to test a new batch of recently procured 2c-i. I had no idea if this was actually 2c-i, since all white powders look the same, more or less. The best approach was to take a very small dose, one that would be within a safe range if I had accidentally received something like DOI instead. Since the police confiscated my milligram scale a while back, I had to use a less accurate scale and liquid measurement to dose. Using the scale, I verified that I had received the expected mass of compound, which I then diluted in an appropriate amount of distilled water. I then used a volumetric measuring device (a quarter-teaspoon) to separate an amount of liquid containing approximately 3 mg's of compound. I further diluted this and consumed a little less than half, so my dose was around 1.5 mg's. I took this on an empty stomach, having skipped breakfast.

I first started feeling the effects after about twenty minutes. I felt alert, with a positive shift in my mood. I had been internetting all morning, and now felt the need to get up and start doing something active. I sat outside for a while, allowing introspective thoughts to flow. This reminded me of a very smooth coke experience. Unlike coke, this wasn't a violent roller-coaster ride of highs and lows coupled with drug and cigarette fiending and overbearing ego tripping. There was a steady, energetic euphoria coupled with a flow of ideas and abstract thought. This would be perfect for conversations, but I imagine it could create a case of motor-mouth syndrome, but nothing as bad as cocaine.

Being alone with my thoughts, I decided it was best to go on a walk. I grabbed my ipod and left the house, wandering my neighborhood. I was very upbeat, smiling towards strangers and taking in the world with an eager curiosity. I wanted to explore! I gravitated towards a nearby creek, which I explored for a couple of hours. I was amazed at the beautiful plants, rocks, and animals. The effects peaked at some point, after which the positive vibes slowly tapered off. I was still energized, but I was beginning to get hungry, so I returned home and ate. I came down softly and was only mildly space out for the rest of the day.

This experience surprised me in how stimulating a small dose of 2c-i could be. I went in to this very cautious, since one can never be sure what they are actually receiving from RC vendors. Despite my conservative dose, the experience was very worthwhile and quite a bit of fun. It was definitely not visual at this dose, but it certainly provoked abstract thinking and curiosity like a good psychedelic should. I've taken much larger doses of 2c-i before, but for some reason I seemed to enjoy this experience just as much. It was very calming, despite the energy, and afterwords it felt as though my brain had needed it. I was in unusually high spirits for a few days, then my mood stabilized into my more usual state.

I'm looking forward to my next experience. I decided that I liked this low dose so much, I wouldn't immediately jump in to a larger dose, despite having determined that this was 2c-i. I want to explore these low dose ranges a little bit longer. My next dose will be the other half of the water, which will be about the same dose. Next I will double this, for 3 mg's. After that, we will see.
