Effects vary widely by individual, dose, and context.
The head space of 2C-I is described by many as one which is relatively normal in its thought processes even at moderate to high dosages. It is often said to lack insight when compared to that of 2C-E, 2C-B and LSD.
The visual geometry of 2C-I can be described as more similar in appearance to that of LSD or 2C-B than that of 2C-E, psilocin, or ayahuasca although it is much more bland and less detailed. They can be comprehensively described as unstructured in their organization, algorithmic in geometric style, intricate in complexity, large in size, fast and smooth in motion, colourful in scheme, glossy in colour, both soft and sharp in their edges as well as equally rounded and angular in their corners. They seem high in algorithmic visuals such as fractals and at higher dosages are significantly more likely to result in states of Level 7A visual geometry over Level 7B.
Like LSD, while 2C-I is capable of producing a full range of low and high level hallucinatory states, this is extremely rare and inconsistent at higher levels but common at lower levels.
These combinations are considered extremely harmful and should always be avoided. Reactions to these drugs taken in combination are highly unpredictable and have a potential to cause death.
There is considerable risk of physical harm when taking these combinations, they should be avoided where possible.
These combinations are not usually physically harmful, but may produce undesirable effects, such as physical discomfort or overstimulation. Extreme use may cause physical health issues. Synergistic effects may be unpredictable. Care should be taken when choosing to use this combination.
2C-I is not considered habit-forming and the desire to use it may actually decrease with repeated use, consistent with classical psychedelics. Some individuals may use it more frequently than intended, but psychological dependence is unlikely.
2C-I is not physically addicting and withdrawal effects following discontinuation have not been reported.
The lethal dose of 2C-I is unknown. This is due to its status as a research chemical with very limited history of human usage and no formal toxicological studies.
As with psychedelics generally, 2C-I may trigger latent psychological and mental problems in susceptible individuals. Those with a family history of schizophrenia or early onset mental illness should exercise extreme caution. Acute psychological effects such as disorientation, confusion, anxiety, and fear of death may occur during intoxication.
2C-I was first synthesized and investigated for human activity by Alexander Shulgin in the mid-to-late 1970s. The compound was initially described in scientific literature in 1977, with its properties and effects in humans documented the following year. Shulgin later provided a more comprehensive…
