Substance - 2C-C (2,5-dimethyoxy-4-chlorophenethylamine) Experience - First time Setting - my basement Many of my past reports have shown I am favorable to 2C-I. It was the first phenethylamine I ever tried. I fell in love with 2C-I and wanted to see what other experiences the 2C family had to offer.

Summary
4-Chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (commonly known as 2C-C) is a lesser-known psychedelic substance of the phenethylamine class that produces psychedelic effects when administered. It is a member of the 2C-x family of psychedelic phenethylamines, all of which were derived from the systematic modification of the mescaline molecule.
Perspectives
“Intranasal 2C-C features greater potency, faster comeup, shorter duration. Characterized by latent energy with bright pulsing and flashing visuals, architectural and structural and artificial in nature.”
“This is longer lived than 2C-B, and there is a longer latency in coming on. It took an hour and a half, or even two hours to get there. It had a slight metallic overtone.”

Acute tolerance: develops within a single session โ the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
General psychedelic tolerance pattern: rapid tolerance after a single session, partial decay in ~3 days, nearโbaseline by ~1โ2 weeks for most users. Data are largely anecdotal by extrapolation from 2CโB, mescaline, and classโwide sources.

Dose: 2C-C powder was measured at a dose of 50mg and taken orally in a gelatin capsule. Duration: The full-blown experience lasted about 4 hours, with 3 additional hours of after effects.
Tried for the first time last night. Had 125mg and me and my mate went through the lot doin 15 or 20mg lines, can't remember! Tracers looked fookin amazing, and there was loads of little particles zipping about - shiny stuff like tin foil looked cool and zippy aroundish too :-) .
A Gorgeous and Deeply Satisfying Experience This was my first experience with 2C-C. I had been putting it off for a while even though I had been really wanting to explore it and other phenethylamines more simply because my supply of them is much more limited than of the tryptamines or lysergamides, so I've been wanting...
I wanted to compare the structural activity of the lesser-known phenethylamine 2C-C to that of itยs closely-related neighbor, 2C-B, a compound that I personally have always enjoyed. I placed an order and when my sample arrived, it appeared more or less identical to 2C-B: a fluffy, finely-textured white powder.
In this report, I try to provide a very thorough and accurate description of the nature of 2C-C. If you donยt want to read a detailed description of the effects, then you should just skip to the second to last paragraph ยSummery of my 2C-C experienceย for a concise summery of its impression on me.
July 16, 2003 I must begin by saying that my actions during this trip were the stupidest and most irresponsible of anything I have ever done while on a psychedelic. What I did should be an example to all of what not to do when you are tripping for the first on a high dose of an experimental substance.
Space and time: New York City, March 2006 A strong dose of 2C-C in a public setting resulted in an overwhelming and paranoid experience. In retrospect, guinea pigging a new drug outside of a careful and private setting was very foolish and the ultimate reason that this trip went awry.

Substance โ 2C-C (2,5-dimethyoxy-4-chlorophenethylamine) Experience โ First time Setting โ my basement Many of my past reports have shown I am favorable to 2C-I. It was the first phenethylamine I ever tried. I fell in love with 2C-I and wanted to see what other experiences the 2C family had to offer.
2-CC, 36mg Some quick background about my experience with hallucinagens - mushrooms, LSD, 4-ACO, 5MEO-DMT, salvia, and most recently 2-CC. Approx. two weeks ago I tried 2-CC for the first time, did 33mg via pill and thoroughly enjoyed it. I dosed and then went into the woods for a day of hiking and relaxing.
Hey everybody! This report details the experience I had two days ago with 2C-C. First off, some seriously big ups to MGS for having recommended this compound so enthusiastically, and for prompting me to turn the PM I sent him after the experience into a proper trip report.
Forgive the cheesy title 'good vibrations'. Not an original phrase to use in relation to psychedelia, but it seemed an appropriate one, given the focus of the peak of the experience.
This was my first experience with 2C-C. I had been putting it off for a while even though I had been really wanting to explore it and other phenethylamines more simply because my supply of them is much more limited than of the tryptamines or lysergamides, so I've been wanting to make sure I wait for the perfect times t...
My first trip report here, this, as well as being my first time with 2C-C. I'm sure I've given too little or too much detail on various aspects. Please do ask questions, if anything needs fleshing out. Dose, substance, route I took 36 mg (+/- 1 mg) of 2C-C, orally.
July 16, 2003 Fifty-milligrams of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-chlorophenethylamine hydrochloride I must begin by saying that my actions during this trip were the stupidest and most irresponsible of anything I have ever done while on a psychedelic.
Ok if you want to skip the boring preface part just got down a bit and start reading from The Trip. Preface: Ok so 150mg sounds a bit extreme and possibly foolish. It's possible I may have built up some tolerance from taking 2C-C the previous night. So I do not know if 150mg would be too much or okay for someone else.
