Summary
2C-T-2 is a potent 5-HT2A/2B/2C partial agonist with a steep dose-response curve and pronounced gastrointestinal distress. PIHKAL identifies 12-25 mg as the active range; harm reduction consensus converges on 15-22 mg oral for full effects. Sulfur-containing 2C-T compounds produce intense, sometimes uncomfortable body load with vasospasm risk, particularly via insufflation.
Perspectives
“I donβt feel this for fully an hour, but when I do it is quite a weight. It feels good to work it through. It is OK to be with pain. You canβt eliminate it. And it is OK to contact your deep pools of anger. And all of it stems from the lack of acknowledgment. All the macho carrying on, the fights, the wars, are ways of demanding attention, and getting even for not having had it in oneβs life. I am experiencing more deeply than ever before the importance of acknowledging and deeply honoring each human being. And I was able to go through and resolve some judgments with particular persons.”

Acute tolerance: develops within a single session β the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
Rapid acute tachyphylaxis within the same session; cross-tolerance expected across serotonergic psychedelics. Data are mostly anecdotal across 2Cβx; spacing 7β14 days is commonly advised to reset.

A friend of mine and I had been interested in exploring some research chemicals for quite a while, and I found a rather good deal for some 2ct2 at a very nice price at a perfect time. It was in the possession of my friend before long, on a very pleasant day on which I was feeling very nice.
IΒm a middle aged male, passionately interested in psychoactives. IΒve taken on psychedelics as a personal study and have worked with many different substances. I have also experimented with other psychoactives, but I am primarily drawn to psychedelics for the benefits they bring in the way of personal growth and enlig...
11:40 - (AM) Ingested 22mg 2C-T-2 in solution over 10 minutes. I have some nice plans for the day; first, I'm going to make some new CDs and playlists with some new music I downloaded. Then, after the peak, I'm going outside to ride my bike for a while and attempt to commune with nature.
21 Gun Salute Setup: 32 years old, 150 lbs. I take no medications or supplements. I've tripped on Sinicuichi, Salvia, LSD, LSA, Shrooms (Amanitas and Cubensis), DXM, Dramamine, 4-AcO-DMT, 2C-B, 2C-C, 2C-D, 2C-E, 2C-I, 2C-P and 2C-T-2, and I've dabbled a bit with DMT and DPT.
Past Drug Experiences: Caffeine, Alcohol, Cannabis, LSD, Modafinil Set: Not the best. I'm fairly depressed in general, and was fairly stressed out at the time. It was only very shortly before the trip that I finished my responsibilities for the night, and I was worried that I had forgotten something.
It had been many, many months since I had last tripped. It was with 5-MeO-AMT, and I don't clearly remember it, although I remember working the next day and it was horrible. My friend had to leave my High School however, so I had no chance to do anything else.
It had been over a month since my bad trip with HBWR. I was still feeling strange and confused, but thought a session with a new substance might provide the beginning of a healing process. Fortunately, I was able to procure a small sample of 2C-T-2, something I was previously inexperienced with and excited to try.
