I woke up to a fine morning, the sun was shining and almost no clouds in the sky around 4-5 degrees (Celsius) outside (it's winter). Has hardly seen the sun in recent months has only rained or been cloudy. Went out on the balcony to feel the sun on my skin and cat that I am currently taking care of followed me out.

Summary
BOH-2C-B (beta-hydroxy 2C-B) is a phenethylamine psychedelic, a ฮฒ-hydroxy-substituted analog of 2C-B. The ฮฒ-hydroxy substitution increases polarity, reducing blood-brain barrier penetration and yielding a gentler but longer-lasting entactogenic headspace with milder visual geometry compared to 2C-B. It is approximately 3 times less potent than 2C-B by weight, requiring higher doses for equivalent effects, and users report clear-headed euphoria, moderate body load, and reduced vasoconstriction compared to ฮฒk-2C-B. Headaches and jaw tension are common toward the end of the experience.

Based on reports from:
Tolerance
Build-up
develops within days of regular use; analgesic tolerance faster than respiratory depression tolerance
Reset
7โ14 days for partial reset; full reset may take weeks โ tolerance loss greatly increases overdose risk
Tolerance Decay
Half tolerance
7d
Baseline
~35d
Based on general psychedelic tolerance patterns: acute tolerance within-session; partial tolerance for several days; near-baseline by ~2 weeks. Data are anecdotal; specific BOHB studies are lacking.

First of all sorry for my English.. Because there aren't many trip report about this substance I decided that I wrote one. Yesterday I ingested 67-70mg of bh-2c-b (scale was little jumpy because 4-ho-det damaged it but that's another story).
