Summary
2C-B exhibits a steep dose-response curve where 2-3 mg differences can significantly alter intensity. Oral doses above 30 mg frequently produce intense visual geometry, ego dissolution, and marked cardiovascular effects including hypertension and tachycardia. Insufflation is 2-3x more potent per milligram but causes severe nasal burning and is generally discouraged. Volumetric dosing with a 0.001 g scale is essential to avoid accidental overdoses. Drug-checking data show tablets ranging 4-26 mg; reagent test each sample to exclude NBOMe substitutes.
Perspectives
“2C-B remains one of those substances that defies easy categorization—simultaneously stimulating and relaxing, visual yet lucid, euphoric yet manageable.”
“A day at the Stanford museum. Things were visually rich, yet I felt that I was reasonably inconspicuous. The Rodin sculptures were very personal and not terribly subtle. I saw Escher things in the ceiling design, when I decided to sit in a foyer somewhere and simply pretend to rest. Walking back, the displays seen in the bark of the eucalyptus trees, and the torment and fear (of others? of themselves?) in the faces of those who were walking towards us, were as dramatic as anything I had seen in the art galleries. Our appetites were enormous, and we went to a smorgasbord that evening. A rich experience in every possible way.”
“Overall, this was a good experience. I can see how some people confuse it with MDMA, but I found it to be less empathogenic and I was much more body conscious.”
