Summary
2C-T-4 has a slow onset lasting 30-120 minutes, with users sometimes experiencing initial anxiety during the come-up phase. Wait at least 3 hours before considering re-dosing. The substance produces moderate body load including nausea, muscle tension, and vasoconstriction.
Perspectives
“Visual effects set in at about two hours. There was much color enhancement, particularly of green, and some flowing of colors. The bright impressionistic picture of the little girl, in the bathroom, was particularly good for the visuals to take over, especially when I was concentrating on urinating. The shadows in the large picture above the fireplace would change constantly. I could not either control or turn off these effects during the middle period (3โ6 hours). From the physical point of view, something early in the experience simply didnโt feel right. Both my lower legs tended to fall asleep, and this seemed to spread to my hands and lower arms. It was uncomfortable and although I was apprehensive at first it didnโt get any worse with time so I ignored it. This is not one my favorite materials, and it takes too long to wear off. If I were to do it again I would settle for 4 or 5 milligrams. It may well cut out the extremity problem amd still allow for a pleasant experience.”

March 4, 2003 9:00 AM: I Wake up and take eighteen milligrams of 2C-T-4. I am both nervous and excited. This is the first time in over two years that I am trying a new material. And I am choosing to take a fairly high dosage of, for the most part, a relatively unknown compound.
[Erowid Note: The dose described in this report is very high, potentially beyond Erowid's 'heavy' range, and could pose serious health risks or result in unwanted, extreme effects.
8:30 am - planning to take 30mg 2C-T-4 HCl orally. is my first time with this substance. i am interested to see what my experience will be like. - expectations: this is supposed to be a long-lasting substance (12-16 hours) The come-up period is long, occurring over about 3 hours.
Previous experience: 2C-I, 2C-B, MDMA, MDA, MDEA, shrooms, 5meo-dipt . Substances: 15mg 2C-T-4 (note this was sold to us as gamma-2C-T-4) Setting: In the living room of our new house with 3 other good friends.
(I had planned on keeping a journal for this trip so that I could give more detail here but I had no ability to write or even keep a train of thought during this, so sorry for the absence of time in this report) So my last report on this strange chemical was clouded with confusion as I had just written it moments after...
I have split feelings when it comes to sharing drug experiences. I do not like reports that only talk about how cool the visuals are and how ยfucked upย you get. I want to know what goes on inside your mind at the time. I do not do drugs because I think it makes me cool.
I have experimented with this substance several times prior to this attempt, unfortunately I had something of a bad experience this time around. My previous doses had been between 5-30mg, it only seemed natural to go from 30mg to 35mg, I didn't expect it to be quite as different as it was (who does.) T+0:00 Me and a fe...
