How is 2C-B used?

2C-B is usually taken via the mouth (orally). 2C-B can be snorted, but anecdotal reports suggest this method of use can be very painful.⁴

2c-b symptoms

There is no safe level of drug use. Use of any drug always carries some risk. It’s important to be careful when taking any type of drug. 

Psychedelics affect everyone differently, based on:

• size, weight and health
• whether the person is used to taking it
• whether other drugs are taken around the same time
• the amount taken
• the strength of the drug (varies from batch to batch)
• environment (where the drug is taken).

2C-B affects everyone differently, but effects may include:

• dry mouth
• increased blood pressure and heart rate
• nausea and vomiting
• dizziness
• drowsiness
• confidence
• euphoria
• feelings of well-being
• anxiety and panic
• change in perception
• hearing sounds
• confusion
• sexual arousal
• hallucinations
• insomnia.^{2, 4}

The effects of 2C-B typically last from four to eight hours. There have been anecdotal reports it can last for up to 12 hours.

Effects of mood and environment

Drugs that affect a person’s mental state (psychoactive drugs) can also have varied effects depending on a person’s mood (often called the ‘set’) or the environment they’re in (the ‘setting’). 2c-b buy online

Set is a person’s state of mind, previous encounters with psychedelic drugs, and expectations of what’s going to happen. For example, feelings of stress or anxiety before using 2C-B may result in an unpleasant experience (bad trip).

Setting is the environment in which someone consumes 2C-B – whether it’s known and familiar, who they’re with, if they’re indoors or outdoors, the type of music and light. For example, using 2C-B in a calm, quiet and relaxed environment could lead or contribute to a pleasant experience but being in a noisy, crowded place may result in a negative experience.⁵

Being in a good state of mind, with trusted friends and a safe environment before taking 2C-B reduces the risk of having a ‘bad’ trip.

Overdose

There have been no reported deaths from 2C-B, but deaths have occurred from the use of other 2C drugs.²

Coming down 

According to anecdotal user reports, the after-effects or comedown of taking 2C-B can last for around 2-4 hours.³

Long-term effects

To our best knowledge, there have been no scientific studies into the long-term effects of 2C-B use.

2C-B and mental health 

People with a family history of mental illness are more likely to experience anxiety or paranoia after using 2C-B. This is consistent with what the evidence tells us about people with mental illness and psychedelic use.

Bad trips 

Some people may have negative experiences taking psychedelics, or experiences they find challenging. This can include experiencing:

• frightening or confronting hallucinations
• intense anxiety and confusion
• fear and paranoia.

Tolerance and dependence

Similar to other psychedelics, 2C-B does not produce dependence. Some people that use 2C-B report a tolerance to it after regular use (more than once every five to seven days).

Mixing 2C-B with other drugs 

The effects of taking 2C-B with other drugs − including over-the-counter or prescribed medications − can be unpredictable and dangerous.

2C-B + cannabis = a more intense psychedelic experience which could result in anxiety and increase the chances of having a ‘bad trip’.

2C-B + tramadol = a lowering of the seizure threshold. May cause seizures in predisposed individuals.

Reducing harm

• Start with a lower dose until you know how the drug affects you personally. It will be different for everyone due to factors such as weight, tolerance and metabolism.
• Always weigh the 2C-B before use, using a milligram scale. A 15mg dose will produce a very different experience to a 30mg dose.
• Consider the impact of mood and environment.
• Consider having a person to ‘trip sit’. A person who remains sober and that can help out if needed.
• Avoid snorting as anecdotal user reports are this is extremely painful and can damage your nose and cause nose bleeds.

Withdrawal

There is limited information regarding regular use of 2C-B and withdrawal symptoms.

Getting  2C-B Help

If your use of 2C-B is affecting your health, family, relationships, work, school, financial or other life situations, or you’re concerned about a loved one, you can find help and support.

The most notable members of the 2C- family include:

1. 2C-B — this is by far the most popular member of the family.
2. 2C-C — this 2c compound differentiates itself through its relaxing, even mild sedative action and powerful visuals.
3. 2C-E — this 2C compound is milder than 2C-B, has a slightly higher likelihood of side effects, and lasts about 3 hours longer.
4. 2C-I — these substances tend to produce effects similar to LSD but less introspective. The most common is 2C-I-NBOMe, which has been proven to be dangerous & should be avoided
5. 2C-P — a strong, but mellow psychedelic with empathogen underpinnings.
6. 2C-T — there are several iterations of this compound, including 2C-T-2, 2C-T-3, 2C-T-4, 2C-T-7, & 2C-T-16. The most popular, by far, is 2CT-7.

How Strong is 2C-B vs. Other Psychedelics?

The intensity of effects from 2CB increases steadily along with the dose.

Lower doses (5 mg) resemble Adderall or MDMA and don’t produce strong visuals.

The higher the dose, the more psychedelic it gets. The 35 mg dose is a potent psychedelic — and very high doses (50 mg or more) are profoundly psychedelic and have even been known to induce out-of-body experiences.

2C-B vs. LSD

2C-B is often compared to LSD because the visual effects of these two drugs are very similar. Users experience light trails, geometric patterns, and objects that appear to merge together.

The intensity of the trip is very similar for these two drugs, but 2C-B is generally much more euphoric. Some people argue the euphoria induced by 2C-B isn’t “earned.” This means you don’t actually have to do anything to feel the euphoria; it’s merely a byproduct of the substance itself.

With LSD, the euphoria needs to be earned through experience and mindset. It doesn’t have an inherent euphoric quality to it, so those without the right mindset may not feel any euphoria whatsoever.

In terms of dose, LSD is many times more potent than 2C-B. The psychoactive dose of LSD is measured in sub-milligram doses, while the threshold dose for 2C-B is around 5 mg.

2C-B vs. Mescaline

Most people suggest the effects of 2C-B are a combination of LSD and MDMA. However, it’s more accurate to suggest the effects of 2C-B resemble mescaline — which is actually the molecule used as inspiration for creating the entire 2C class of drugs, to begin with.

2C-B is more stimulating than mescaline and has much less “headspace.” Headspace refers to the introspective and existential thoughts that accompany the psychedelic experience.

Both 2C-B and mescaline are thought of as being “gentle” when compared to other psychedelics and the visuals are very similar between the two.

In lower doses, their visuals are very “flowy”, while higher doses are much more “cartoon-like.”

2C-B vs. MDMA

2C-B is often used as an alternative to MDMA (ecstasy) at concerts, music festivals, or parties. Lower doses of 2C-B are the most similar to MDMA for creating a greater sense of connectedness with the people around you. Both substances produce a feeling of euphoria, can enhance the enjoyment of music, and stimulate the sensual feedback from touch.

The more 2C-B you take, the further the experience diverges from MDMA. High doses are very psychedelic and can make being at public events very uncomfortable — unlike MDMA.

One of the main benefits of 2C-B over MDMA is that users usually don’t experience difficulty falling asleep after the experience.

Is 2C-B Safe?

There are no reported overdose deaths from people who took 2C-B. Additionally, the few clinical trials that are available involving 2C-B have all reported the drug had little to no side effects and that the drug had a high level of safety.

Anecdotal reports on sites like Reddit, as well as through our own surveys, suggest some people prefer to take large doses of the drug (over 50 mg) — without experiencing any severe side effects.

The lethal dose of 2C-B has never been found.

Some users, including Shulgin, have reported taking as much as 100 mg of 2C-B without serious side effects. However, these doses are rarely enjoyable and can even be quite scary.

2C-B has been around since the 1970s, and while it didn’t really become popular until the 90s, it still has over 30 years of mainstream use behind it. If 2C-B was inherently dangerous, it would be crystal clear by now.

With that said, there is a serious lack of research available on the safety of 2C-B. There are virtually no toxicology studies available. Due to the heavily restricted status of this substance, it’s unlikely we’re going to see this research anytime in the near future.

This isn’t the case with other 2C substances — such as 2C-E and 2C-I — which have proven themselves dangerous over the years.

With that said, 2C-B isn’t without its risks.

2C-B Adulteration

The main risk of this compound is adulteration (mixing or swapping other substances into 2C-B tablets or powder).

It’s not uncommon for someone to order 2C-B online only to receive something completely different in the mail. You can never trust what’s inside your pills or powders unless you test it first. And even with testing, you can’t be 100% sure it’s free from harmful chemicals.

2C-B & Drug Interactions

Certain drugs or medications may also interact negatively with 2C-B.

This substance is largely metabolized by an enzyme called monoamine oxidase (MAO) [2]. It’s the main enzyme responsible for breaking down neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. People taking MAO inhibitor medications (a type of antidepressant) may have a hard time metabolizing 2C-B — which could lead to side effects.

2C-B is also likely to interact negatively with other stimulating substances, such as amphetamines (Adderall), MDMA, MDA, cocaine, caffeine, and nicotine. Combining these substances could lead to side effects and harm involved with increased heart rate and blood pressure, changes in breathing patterns, jitteriness and muscle tension, dehydration, headaches, blood sugar regulation, and anxiety or panic.

Mixing 2CB with other psychedelics like LSD, mescaline, or magic mushrooms can lead to much stronger hallucinations. This can cause intense fear, panic, or anxiety.

It’s wise to avoid any other substances while taking 2C-B to avoid negative interactions. This includes alcohol, cigarettes, and prescription medications.

People taking heart medications, immune system regulators, antibiotics, or ADHD medications should avoid 2C-B altogether.

2C-B Side-Effects

• Fear, panic, or anxiety
• Disorientation
• Nausea & vomiting
• Digestive discomfort
• Rapid heart rate
• High blood pressure

Is 2C-B Addictive?

2C-B is not inherently addictive — however, people can form addictions to any mind-altering substance, including 2C-B.

There really isn’t such a thing as a “good drug” or a “bad drug.” Substances like 2C-B are just molecules that exist in the world around us.

An unhealthy relationship with a substance like 2C-B would involve regular, repeated use of the substance either out of compulsion or to find a release from reality.

This is essentially what addiction is. They’re using a substance to escape the way they feel or to escape a reality they deem “undesirable.”

2C-B makes us happy, carefree, relaxed, social, and euphoric. It changes our perspective of the world and allows us to forget our biggest fears and stressors.

While this can be extremely beneficial for helping someone acknowledge the source of their problems internally and acts as a reminder that life, in its essence, is good — it can also become a crutch for people with more of a nihilistic or doomer perspective on life.

Compulsive use of any substance would be an example of having an unhealthy relationship with the substance. It’s what defines addiction.

Psychedelics like 2C-B is been use for personal grow and healing — not to escape reality.

2C-B & Physical Addiction: Dependence & Tolerance

There are two types of addiction — behavioral addiction and physical addiction.

As described above, behavioral addiction is the type of addiction we can have for the way a substance or activity makes us feel. Our body isn’t dependent on the substance, but we still seek it out in order to feel a certain way. We can also become behaviorally addicted to gambling, sex, masturbation, or shopping. When we take a substance repeatedly, the body makes changes to adapt to the presence of the substance. This is called dependence because we depend on having the drug in our system to maintain balance. As soon as the drug wears off, we’re no longer in balance — causing side effects referred to as withdrawal.

2C-B can eventually lead to physical addiction if used repetitively over long periods of time.

Is 2C-B Legal?

All 2C substances are illegal globally. The entire family of research chemicals was originally banned in the United States in 1995. 2C-B was specifically added to the UN Convention of Psychotropic Substances in 2001. This led to the banning of this substance in all UN-member countries.

In the US, 2C-B is listed as a Schedule I drug — along with heroin, LSD, and cocaine.

It’s classified as a Schedule III substance in Canada, which means it’s only available for research purposes.

In the United Kingdom, 2C-B is a Class A drug — which implies the drug poses a significant danger to public health and brings the most severe punishments to those caught in possession of the drug. 2c-b-for-sale

How 2C-B Works

There isn’t much research available on 2C-B, but we do have a general understanding of how it works.

Most psychedelics work by activating the 5-HT2A serotonin receptors. This is the primary mechanism of action employed by substances, including LSD, DMT, and psilocybin. 2c-b-for-sale

2C-B and related phenethylamines like mescaline have a much weaker action on this receptor. This suggests there are other mechanisms involved with the drug’s hallucinogenic effects. Some studies even suggest 2C-B may act as an inhibitor of the 5-HT2A receptor [3].

Some studies suggest 2C-B activates another serotonin receptor called 5-HT2C — which also produces hallucinogenic effects [4].

Other serotonin receptors may also be involved, such as the 5-HT1A receptors, which could be involved in the emotional changes induced by 2C-B [5]. This substance is reported to influence the emotional response through both top-down and bottom-up cognitive processes.

Compared to other 2C-x drugs, 2C-B is the second most potent agonist of serotonin receptors only to 2C-I. 2C-D and 2C-H have a much lower affinity for these receptors. 2c-b-for-sale

Research on 2C-B is seriously lacking. Despite how popular this substance is, there are no clinical trials or even toxicology studies to date. The only data we have available comes from anecdotal reports, observational studies, and in vitro research.

Frequently Asked Questions About 2C-B

1. How Do I Test The Purity of 2C-B?

Everybody should test their drugs before using them to avoid mistakenly consuming toxic alternatives. 2c-b-for-sale

The best way to test a sample of 2C-B is to use a reagent test kit. Only a small sample of the drug is needed to run the test (the size of a grain of sand).

Regent tests won’t tell you the purity of a substance. They can only tell you whether or not a sample contains a certain substance or not.

The best reagent to use is the Marquis reagent. It will turn a yellowish-green color in the presence of 2C-B. The reagent will turn purple if the sample contains MDMA, and NBOMe substances will turn red. 2c-b-for-sale

2. Will 2C-B Show Up On A Drug Test?

Most drug tests won’t detect 2C-B. Only specialized drug tests using mass spectrometry or gas chromatography will be able to differentiate 2C-B in a blood or urine sample.

There have been reports of 2C-B triggering a false-positive on amphetamine tests, but this is very rare.

With that said, if you’re expecting a drug test for any reason, it would be wise to avoid 2C-B. 2c-b-for-sale

3. Is 2C-B Dangerous?

All psychoactive drugs have an inherent level of risk associated with their use. 2C-B has stimulating effects that could be dangerous for people with heart disease or who are taking heart medications.

The hallucinogenic effects of 2C-B could bring an increased level of risk to people with psychiatric disorders. 2c-b-for-sale

2C-B has never been associated with any overdoses or deaths, but there’s been one case of reported psychosis after using 2C-B [7].

4. Can I Microdose 2C-B?

Microdosing is the process of taking very small, sub-perceptual doses of a substance. They’re used to increase focus and concentration, improve empathy and connectedness with others, and help achieve a higher level of productivity.

Some users have reported taking microdoses of 2C-B similarly to other psychedelics like magic mushrooms or LSD. It’s been reported to increase tactile awareness, increase the clarity of thought, and boost mental energy and stamina.

<p>It’s not clear whether or not microdoses of 2C-B are safe long term. 2c-b-for-sale
