2C-B

To date, they've filed six patents in the US covering three Alexander Shulgin drugs.

Methylone is the leader, with provisions built in for MDBD and 2C-B.

These patents largely focus on potential therapeutic applications for these drugs and dosing regimens.

The drugs themselves are in the public domain, as Alexander Shulgin put out all of his formulations very publicly, and so the molecules themselves can't be patented.

Yeah.

Like do you know what I mean? Like my type of party would be like with close friends, like maybe at a house, and not like no one's on 2C-B in the room.

Right.

[laughs]

He made vast amounts of MDMA.

He made the entire 2C series of psychedelics, including 2C-B and 2C-E.

He made DOM, which is a phenomenally potent psychedelic.

Right.

Um, but I was never...

Like, I didn't even drink alcohol until I was of legal age, and my friends were all doing, like, research chemicals and stuff, like 2C-E, 2C-B.

I think you-

Yeah

And then we're like...

He's like, "Yeah, Anton really wants, like, MDMA or something, and, um, we just want some weed as well." And I'm like, "Yeah, I can definitely get weed, and I'll try on the MDMA." And I messaged a friend, and he was like, "Yeah, I got caps." And I thought he meant, like, MDMA or ecstasy caps.

But then when, like, I met up with him, he, like, um, he had, like, yeah, 2C-I or something, 2C-B, one of those things.

And I just bought them anyway, and I was like, "All right, we'll see what happens." And then, like, uh, we get to their hotel they were staying at, like, in sort of in the, like, outdoor area by the pool.

Like, there is a lot of money to be made.

And when it comes down to it, the people that are in this for that reason, even if they've had their, you know... 2CB at Burning Man or whatever, which they do, you know, and so therefore they, you know, are on this mission to make as much money as possible.

Um, and like tell stories of these things being panaceas for, you know, depression or, or addiction or whatever.

Like it, it takes it out of context and we lose a lot in that process and we're going to lose a lot in that process.

not i've never

there's like the sensationalization of this there's a substance called 2c like t-u-s-i not to be confused with the research chemical 2C-B.

But 2C, and it's like a South American party drug that is, it's like in its perfect form, it's a perfect, an exact mixture of half ketamine and half MDMA.

And so it's like a club drug.

But I think it's also equally as important to develop a healthy way of you know, meaning making, I suppose.

I had an experience one time on a big old hearty bowl of alphabet soup comprised of L, 2C-B, and ketamine.

I guess like the acid first and then the 2C-B and ketamine at the same time, multiple times during the peak of the acid.

It seemed to me during that moment of that experience, I was having a reoccurring thought, it just kept looping in my mind, of maybe the purpose of humans is to be the ones that make meaning out of the chaos on this planet and in the universe in general.

And when I say chaos, I just mean all of the events that are kind of happening all the time non-stop everywhere all across every facet of this 3d plane if you've ever seen the movie everywhere all everything everywhere all at once um it's kind of a good way to kind of sum it up I guess in terms of a simplistic method for explaining that concept so definitely check that movie out um yeah I guess I'm sort of getting lost in my own lost in my own thoughts even thinking about this sort of weird you know heady pseudo-intellectual shit you know But that's just what's been on my mind the past couple of days.

type of use that's the if you're going to accept any type of psychedelic use medical use is the type that across the united states people are most comfortable with but it also carries in some sense greater risks than recreational use because you're using it to treat a disorder and so when I get these medicalized questions from people, it always is actually more concerning than people that are wanting to use something recreationally.

If somebody writes to me and they say, hey, like 2C-B, that sounds like a fun drug.

I might take that.

I probably wouldn't respond, but I also wouldn't be concerned.

But if somebody writes to me and they say, hey, you know, I have a really severe autism and I'm thinking the 2C-B could help could cure my autism and my OCD and my cluster headaches.

Do you think it's a good idea? Then I think, oh, well, this is a person who's got a variety of different difficulties that they're struggling with.

I understand why they're interested, but the stakes are a little bit higher for this person.

When that was over, I returned in the morning and went on about my week until those same friends invited me to do drugs again.

This time it was 2C-B.

I agreed and went with them, and that experience was a blast as well, except this was only the honeymoon phase of hard drug use, and I was yet to find out about that over the next few months.

We started doing it once every two weeks, then once a week, then every weekend.

At that point, the effects gradually became less enjoyable for them as well.

They moved on from ecstasy and 2C-B and bought themselves 3-MMC.

So me being stupid at the time, I thought if I just took something entirely different, then I could keep feeling good at least once a week.

I joined them whenever they bought it for themselves, which was every Monday, and even that went relatively fine until I asked my friend for the dealer's number so I could get my own.

Like what's the best psychedelic for sex?

I like 2C-B.

I like 2C-B.

I like MDMA, injectable MDMA, and then a little bit of ketamine on the comedown.

That's often nice.
