Fractaline motionA small dose, nasally Substances: 2C-T-2 I wasn't expecting too much from this outing. Boy, was I in for a surprise. My colleague and I each take roughly 8mg at 1am. My previous experience with 2C-T-2 was oral and quite enjoyable, with the small exception of random waves of nausea, never leading to any vomiting. I had heard from another friend that snorting the stuff was fabulous, so I decided to try it out. We each take two bumps, roughly the size of the end of a pencap. It burns like hellfire for half an hour or so. Fortunately, after only a minute or two, the effects hit, and they hit hard. After what seems like about half an hour (though I had no real sense of time, so it could have been more or less) the visuals are so intense that if I do anything but lay on the ground and watch the sky, I throw up violently. The stars twinkle and small rays of light bounce between them and around the sky. The trees exhibit strange fractaline motion, moving and twisting in the night sky. The sky is a strange purple color. I remember very powerfully that the contrast of green on purple is quite beautiful and how I wished I'd had a camera to capture the effect. This is, of course, futile, as anyone with any psychedelic experience can tell you. You would need the camera to be inside your head to get the desired effect. After some time, my colleague motions for us to trek off to find a water fountain. We stop and sit by the manmade waterfall conveniently installed in the middle of this grassy expanse. The water feels like candy. It's the same temperature as my fingers, so I barely feel it at all. We play in the water for a few minutes before trekking off in search of water again. We find a public bathroom with a fountain and I wash the vomit taste from my mouth. We then talk about sculpture for a few minutes. The visuals have mostly subsided at this point and the nausea gone with them. We play around for a while longer before finding a quiet park bench to sit on. We talk about society and politics and the bullshit of american media. By 3:30am, we have mostly come down, so we walk back to the car. Of all my experience with psychedelics, this experience was absolutely the most visually spectacular, though I believe the clarity of thought acheived is comparable to that of acid or mushrooms. I recommend snorting 2C-T-2 once or twice, but not regularly. It burns like sulphuric acid and the smell sticks with you for hours and hours. I think the smell contributed the most to the nausea. Also, toning it down to 4mg and then another 4mg an hour later would be excellent. I will try sprinkling some into a kind joint this week and report my findings thereafter.
