Hello all. So it had been a while since i last tripped (about 2 years) which was a very difficult lsd experience (probably actually n-bom since it lasted over 24hrs). I had read erowid, pihkal, trip reports, etc and thought that 2c-b would be a nice and hopefully gentle trip. I locked all the doors and set up my guitar, midi keyboard, paint and canvas and ate a footlong sandwich. I had a 20mg capsule that i wanted to take a couple of milligrams out but figured it would be too much effort and just took it as is.

The first signs of altered perception was my guitar playing which became more enjoyable, i seemed to have rhythm like never before. The come up was extremely pleasurable, more so than mdma, a very bodycentric effect, my muscles were heavier but felt good moving subtly. I just enjoyed moving my arms above me to the music, I didn't feel energetic like mdma. A couple of hours in the tone shifted quite a bit toward the psychedelic, pretty much the same as the others i've had. I looked at the paint and canvas i had set up and thought it'd be a good distraction but i didn't feel creative enough to start something fresh and didn't want to paint my half finished painting either, so i just moved on to the bathroom. I did the obligatory self evaluation in the mirror. I haven't exercised in quite a while but this drug made me feel very confident with my body. i flexed a bit, thoght i was a clever monkey.

Around the 3rd hour i was getting over being high, one thing i don't like about psychedelics is just how long they last. I contemplated the xanax for quite a while, i hadn't had it before and was uneasy about taking it while tripping, eventually i took the plunge with a very small amount maybe 0.25-0.5mg (i cut up a 2mg tab randomly). I was very worried about the potential for abuse. I'm not sure if it was just the end of the trip or the xanax did in fact help me sleep since i didn't take much.

Since its short acting, is a threshold dose of dmt easy to handle? I'm considering maybe some caapi tea next what is your opinion on that? im looking to downgrade length and potency for my next trip so i think dmt is off the agenda. 2c-b is suppose to be gentle but is still too much for me at 20mg. low doses of shrooms has been the best. can anyone reccommend any other compounds?

peace out
