repeated smoked Cannabis
Technically, I consider this experience to be more about 4-HO-MiPT than I do about 2C-I, but I went ahead and labeled this thread for the latter since there was already a wiki page on the former. This is a trip report that I started writing a few months ago but then never got around to finishing, so I've touched up what I had and written out the rest now.
It was the day after Alexander Shulgin had died, and I had seen some other people planning to trip on some compounds that he had made in memory of him, and I opted to do the same. I couldn't think of a better way to commemorate a life well-lived. I had been planning to wait a little longer before tripping again, since it had only been five days since my previous experience, but I had the day off, so I figured it couldn't hurt. I kind of wanted to try something new for the experience, so first I dug out my old stash of 2C-I from years ago, which I had around 50 mg left of. I weighed out 25 mg for myself in preparation for a little bit later, and decided that, since this was my first time taking a phenethylamine since I had started tripping again, I would wait maybe about forty-five minutes to an hour to see how it was hitting me, and then if it felt right I would stack 25 mg of 4-HO-MiPT on top of the experience.
This combination of psychedelics was picked with careful consideration. 2C-I alone for me has proven to be a drug with a very powerful body high, and during my stronger trips with it, this translates into something incredibly sexual. For the highest dose of it I have ever taken, I had actually gotten complete entity contact. However, this contact lacked any sort of psychological depth, focusing instead largely on orgasmic pleasure. Because of that experience I have always been interested in mixing 2C-I with other hallucinogens which may give it a little bit more of the mystical or insightful edge that I tend to get with other psychedelics, but my trials up until this point have been sort of a dud. It seemed to fight both the LSD and 4-AcO-DMT experiences in a way that made it feel like I was hallucinating and sped out, but not really tripping, not even on the level that 2C-I alone provides. My one notable success with it came from combining it with ketamine, my only experience thus far with that chemical. This created beautiful dream-like imagery and entity contact with vibrant, full-spectrum rainbow colors saturating every scene, and I floated through an energy grid while watching various delirious movie-like scenarios play out. Because of this I knew that 2C-I had more potential, I just had to find the right companion for it.
I've only used 4-HO-MiPT once before in the past, but I was definitely intrigued by it. I had actually been interested in it for years, pretty much ever since I first started researching drugs. What really made me more curious about it than anything though was the multiple reports of it that I'd heard describing it as along the lines of mushrooms, but more lucid, energetic, and sexual. One thing I had noticed about mushrooms, particularly from my highest dose of them, was that while some psychedelics like DMT and 2C-I could be more orgasmic in a purely overwhelming way, and some like LSD could be more erotic in a crazy, lustful way, mushrooms tended to have an emotional quality that other psychedelics for me just lacked. They were still very fetishy, but there's something to them that I can only describe as along the lines of feeling like true love, the kind where you're completely at peace and can totally trust and give yourself up to them. The entities I see on them tend to consist mainly of girls dressed in colorful latex and high heels and other such things, with lots of really cosmic-looking royal jewelry, and they tend to be surrounded by lots of abstract, stereotypically psychedelic borders and sensual and romantic imagery. My one experience with 4-HO-MiPT before this hadn't exactly been the perfect setting to try to bring that side of it out, but I still felt that it was there. I also ended up having effects very much of this same sort from a combination of LSD and 4-HO-DiPT, and I was starting to become suspicious that this might be a general visual architecture of 4-hydroxy tryptamines for me. Given this, and everything I had heard about its clarity of thought and relatively dissociating trip, I thought that it might actually be something which had the potential to synergize well with 2C-I.
So, at 7:30 PM, T+0:00, I took the 25 mg of the 2C-I. Within about half an hour later I was becoming quite stimulated and talking more and more, until about T+0:45 when I had the house to myself. The energy was strong but the body high was mild, and as far as visuals go I was getting some maybe *very* slight movement of surfaces at this point. I was also a getting a little bit of nausea, which I had never gotten with 2C-I before other than the time I insufflated it just at the beginning, which was a little off-putting, but I seem to get nausea from psychedelics these days a little bit more easily than I did years ago, so I figured it was no big deal. At T+1:00 I figured that, even though I know it takes a little longer than this for 2C-I to fully kick in, I would be able to tell if it was going to be a really heavy trip or not, and I decided that I could definitely take a bit more. I took the 25 mg of 4-HO-MiPT that I had weighed out in anticipation, and then I used the bathroom and then hopped in the shower to help with a headache that I'd had for most of the day as I waited for both psychedelics to start really working their magic at the same time. The water felt really great on my skin when I was in there, and very quickly I started to notice the walls and glass around me warping and sliding around and breaking into multiple colored layers. I tried to see if I could discern which part of these visuals were coming from the phenethylamine and which from the tryptamine, but it was hard to do as they actually seemed to be mixing pretty well. My mind was doing something a little stranger though. A description I used at the time was that it was almost like I know I'm tripping but I don't know why. In some ways it almost felt like my thoughts were skipping over themselves, but the thoughts didn't seem unordinary, and they also seemed to be very sped up, but almost in a way that I didn't even really notice it, like I could think several thoughts in a span of a few seconds and not even really realize it because I just felt normal. Very odd stuff.
Anyway, I ended up getting out of the shower I believe some time around T+1:15, and then I decided to do some nitrous oxide. I had heard from a friend years ago that 2C-I and nitrous is an incredible combination, but I had never gotten to try it back then so I was pretty interested. I was also feeling a little bit more nausea now than I had before, and I was hoping to help it a bit. My visuals had started to reach a point similar to my mindset where they were sort of haphazardly jumping from one thing to the next, and in the same way it sort of felt like I was getting prominent effects but I couldn't really nail down what any of them were. I definitely thought that my negative body load was causing this in some way by hindering me from letting go into the experience, and so in the hopes of having this not be another wasted 2C-I combination, I loaded a balloon with a few chargers to help myself out, and took it down at around T+1:35. It made the experience feel much more dissociating (of course) and I felt like I was tripping much harder once I came out of the balloon than before I went in, but it still didn't really feel like it had reached its full potential, like I had the same indiscriminate effects from before, just stronger now. It also didn't take longer for the nausea to start creeping back in. I had just a couple of weeks prior quit smoking cannabis for the time being and I really wasn't missing it so I had had no desire to mix it with this trip just for the sake of potentiation, but given the side effects and the fact that this experience felt like it just needed a little extra push to fully evolve, I finally gave in and decided to go for it at about T+2:15. I got just a little bit of some high quality stuff to work with, and loaded myself a small bowl and started toking away, and then went to lie down closer to the TV to hear the music better.
You will have to excuse me from this point on, as this is where I originally stopped writing the report. Actually, I had written much more, but I lost a lot of it to a frozen computer and couldn't bring myself to do it all over again at the time. Anyway, I still recall the main points of the experience from this point on, but I can no longer give all of the tiny details or exact times for when things occurred. What I do know is that when I first laid down after smoking cannabis and closed my eyes, things completely and utterly changed. What had been a confusing mess of visual distortions suddenly became a gorgeous display of cliched, romantic psychedelic colors and image borders full of flower petals and other curved designs. There was a generally emotionally intimate air to it that so far for me is only matched my mushrooms and the combination of LSD and 4-HO-DiPT. Within these complex visual borders were female entities lying around lazily and staring at me flirtatiously while reaching out to me. They were each adorned in brilliantly colored neon latex, such that it appeared as though between them their outfits spanned the full spectrum of rainbow colors, and the shine on each piece of their clothing double back and differentially captured the full spectrum again. The depth and vividness of the display of colors before me was overwhelming, and they were not the only part of the trip which was taking that turn. As the cannabis high really kicked in, the body energies of both the 2C-I and 4-HO-MiPT became dramatically intensified and began working together in any way they possibly could. My body was equally becoming overwhelmed by the multitude of sexual forces at work on it to push me to my very limits. Due to everything that was happening to me at this point, there was little I could do but writhe around in hedonistic ecstasy.
My plan to create a more erotic trip seemed to have work, as when texting my friends I couldn't stop using the word 'sexy' to describe everything that I was experiencing. At some point I decided that I wanted to see how the two trips would react to nitrous oxide now that they were starting to work together, and this brought the trip to a whole new level that I could never have imagined. I went with another full balloon, and I experienced the what was then typical nitrous death trip for me. I became convinced that I was watching a simple geometric pattern which was signaling the end of my life and that I would soon be moving on to another reality, but as soon as the dots aligned I began returning to "normal" consciousness. However, I kept my eyes closed and continued meditating as soon as I realized that I had returned to my body. I hadn't even really realized it during the balloon, but my visual experience had expanded to have me floating in a large void full of patterns which were in some ways both simple and complex. It seemed to be mathematical patterns circling around vortexes of light, and mixed into the patterns were incomplete chunks of various concepts of seemingly quite random and unpredictable origin. There did not seem to be any significant restrictions in the color scheme of the imagery, and they were all quite vibrant and electric. For a while I simply let myself dissolve into this pattern because I was humbled by it and filled with an incredible sense of quiet peacefulness. It was quite warm and inviting, but once the anesthesia started wearing off enough I was again filled with a psychedelic need to get up and move, and so I finally got around to opening my eyes.
Walking around the house, I could see that the two trips had started to blend in even more complex ways than they had from the cannabis alone, to the point where I could no longer clearly distinguish which effects were coming from what even remotely. This was one of the experiences that really started to make me realize that using cannabis followed by nitrous oxide can cause two psychedelic trips to seamlessly intertwine and become one incredible force. Entities were reaching out at me and around from behind my head to catch my attention as I entered the kitchen, but I could never observe them directly, just in the very cosmic and dreamy worlds in my peripheral vision. I decided to go sit outside and stare up at the night sky while thinking about what I was experiencing, which I think really did me some good as it allowed me to sort of regroup. During this entire experience I was actually having some rather uncomfortable body sensations, but they had almost sort of feeling to them that it was just what I had to be willing to put up with to be able to experience the massively scatterbrained trip that I had found myself in the middle of. On the physical front I found myself alternating quite rapidly between feeling nauseous and crampy to feeling one of the most incredible sexual euphorias I have yet encountered. Mentally, I was shifting between a similar heavily erotic place with lots of sensory overload, lots of introspection and personal reflection, and a heavily dissociative place feeling "between dimensional planes" and having no real thought processes or sexual feelings whatsoever. I really didn't know what to make of it, but I did know that it was at least a lot more interesting than my previous attempts at 2C-I combinations. In any case, being outside long enough led me to decide to do another balloon of nitrous oxide while staring up at the stars.
I remember the stars becoming very blurry, and then all I've got after that is a faraway visual of some entities going into and out of indistinguishable hallways in some kind of very simple hyperspace. This trip was just an all around very weird beast, and I feel like whatever happened on the other end of that nitrous trip was probably just too bizarre to bring back to memory in any sort of rational fashion. Because of this though, it did dramatically enhance my trip again for a while after I started coming out of it. I had pulled out my phone to start texting something to a friend, but the light that I could see streaming off of the screen in every direction contained vivid visual imagery of strange imaginary scenarios unfolding. It would draw my focus in as I attempted to figure out just what it was that I was actually seeing, and it would hold me there long enough that my entire field of perception would start to destabilize and I would suddenly end up pulling my gaze away when I noticed how much I was just staring into the blinding light. Managing the phone was an utter failure, so I decided to get up and walk around or maybe go inside. I went into the house and walked around in the darkness some more and there were geometric hallucinations floating around which would transform into lizards or other creatures which I seem to see much more frequently on psychedelic combinations. I was clearly well into the experience now, but I was starting to get pretty tired of the physical effects of the trip. Deciding that I really hadn't prepared to deal with this all night and really didn't have the energy to, I took a benzodiazepine to reduce the side effects, and as expected this also essentially aborted the trip. Though, I did get one last good nitrous oxide balloon in which actually helped calm my body down more as well.
Would I do this combination again? Nah, probably not. I'm not actually sure that I'll ever do 2C-I again, as I seemed to have gotten essentially what I need out of it, and I've actually already given away that last 25 mg by now. I have to say though that despite the oddness of it, this was the first time I've ever tried a tryptamine and phenethylamine combination that I would call a success. 2C-I made it kind of a weird trip for me, but that's just because 2C-I is weird for me on its own. Though I really don't have any significant interest in seeking out phenethylamines anymore, I have to say that if I do find myself using some good ones like mescaline, 2C-B, 2C-C, or 2C-E in the future, it will probably be in an attempt to find their ultimate 4-substituted tryptamine counterparts. The way that the sexual effects of the 2C-I and the 4-HO-MiPT mixed both on the body and with the visuals and entities was just so overwhelmingly stimulating, it was truly something else. For that reason I could see myself especially trying to mix 2C-B with some tryptamines, as it is not known as an aphrodisiac for nothing!
My last note would have to be that this was the trip that really made the potential of 4-HO-MiPT obvious to me, because despite the powerful synergy, I knew which parts of that trip could or could not have possibly happened due primarily to the influence of the 2C-I. There was a dream-like delirium in there that I can only so far equate to LSD and, coming from experiences that occurred after this trip, to 4-HO-DET. There is definitely something to be respected there in 4-HO-MiPT, and I very much hope to see more of what it can truly do in the future.
And of course, since this trip was done in his memory, I have to give one last credit to the late and great doctor Shulgin. Without that man experiences like these wouldn't be possible and changing people all over the world every day. I'm sure he's rocking it up in the next life as well. RIP Sasha.

Without that man experiences like these wouldn't be possible and changing people all over the world every day. I'm sure he's rocking it up in the next life as well. RIP Sasha.
