Seventh heaven

A small dose, intranasal administration

Substances: 2C-T-7

Our original intention had been to sample 10 mg of this drug but having no scales and being forced to divide the powder by eye we decided to snort half of our estimated 10mg. Within 3 minutes of doing this it was apparent that we wouldn't need to take anymore. The powder stung our nostrils but this soon passed and within 10 minutes we were experiencing all the hallmarks of a strong psychedelic experience. Walking outside in natural surroundings it was obvious that this compound is highly visual. However the sort of visual effects it produces are quite unique, though difficult to describe. It seemed as if our entire field of vision was alive and pulsing with energy. The grass appeared hyperreal and computer generated, not unlike the habitat of the 'Teletubbies'. Anything that we looked at would seem to dissolve in multiple images of itself. As the drug effects grew stronger these visual transformations reached such an intensity that ordinary scenes were rendered unrecognizable and we found ourselves forgetting where we were- a sort of micro-amnesia. Everything appeared to glow with a strange metallic sheen as if newly made and there was a keen awareness of energy flowing through everything. One curious effect was the tendency for everything to appear as if in a picture, as if it was all perfectly composed, yet even the slightest change would produce another quite different but equally perfect vista. Another strange effect was the tendency for the environment to look squat or shrunken, so that trees even when quite tall appeared like miniatures. But while the landscape appeared shrunken birds flying overhead seemed the size of jumbo jets. However it was difficult to look up and our eyes were continually drawn to the ground and it seemed that we beheld the world through a fisheye lens for the first four hours. At times these effects seemed overwhelming, certainly 2CT7 is a major psychedelic far stronger than 2CB. The peak effects occurred within the context of extreme time dilation and the first two hours seemed to last forever. Our sense of space was similarly distorted and it was impossible to judge the distance of objects and they would appear alternately close and distant.

One persistent impression was that our 'auras' or energy fields were somehow crackling with a strange energy and we became worried that other creatures- both animal and human- could sense this. In fact we became convinced that we might be the victims of an unprovoked attack by a dog or a duck. Whenever we encountered straight people we felt highly uncomfortable. Although powerful our thoughts were not as disrupted as they might be on a comparable dose of LSD and communication remained easy throughout.
The main effects lasted for about four hours after which they dropped to a lower intensity and it remained at this level for another 5 hours. Shortly after this drop in intensity we found ourselves quite ravenous and returned home to eat a little. The pleasure of eating on 2CT7 is something else and a hot cross bun tasted like the best thing ever baked. The second phase was marked by a deep sense of relaxation and satisfying warm glow through our bodies. As the drugs effects began to wane we became increasingly 'fried' and tired though not in a unpleasant way. By about 10 hours after consuming the drug we were down and sleep came easily.
Overall we feel 2CT7 to be a true psychedelic comparable with LSD or psilocybin and one the best we've tried. Although we have yet to try 2CT7 orally, snorting would seem a very powerful and economical way of consuming this drug. However given the small amounts involved and the steep dose response curve we would advise anyone using it in this manner to be extremely cautious.
