Having a bad trip? Go to r/TripSit

Welcome to r/2cb, this is my favorite drug and in my opinion objectively one of the best. The effects are similar to LSD and MDMA, somewhere in between varying by dosage. This is a good psychedelic for beginners as the user retains much self control even at moderate doses. Though there are bad trips on this substance they're fairly rare and less severe than say shrooms or DMT.

This subreddit is dedicated to 2C-B, but you'll find discussion on most of the 2C family and we encourage this!

2C-B is generally found in either pill or powder form. Pills are generally under-dosed, ie. a pill advertised as 25mg is more likely to be in the 12-17mg range. Powder is better (generally speaking) if you can find it, although it is somewhat of a rare find.

Rules:

I know there's a rules panel, but some people seem unable to read it due to some reason still unknown to me. So, to reiterate.

1. No Pill ID

2. No Sourcing / Vendor Discussion

3. Do not post stash pictures

4. No spam

5. Be kind

The first three are dedicated to the safety of this subreddit and its users. The only way to know if a pill really contains 2C-B is to test it, test kits are not a luxury but rather a necessity. Sourcing has become such an issue that it will result in a ban. There's been a sticky for weeks and it's just gotten worse, I urge you all to flag any comments or posts that source so the mods can remove it ASAP. To be clear, as mods we assume that any image of >7+ pills as a stash or a dealer fishing for buyers which is prohibited by site wide rules.

Dosage and RoA:

Oral 2C-B Dosage

There are three common Routes of Administration: oral, insufflation, and 'boofing'. The chart above is intended for oral RoA, although it holds decently accurate with the others. Orally taking 2C-B can lead to nausea, to combat this I recommend…

1. Not eating for a couple hours prior or ~30 minutes after, and if you must keep it light something like soup and quinoa is my go-to. Don't eat within 30 minutes after as it dulls the effects.

2. Ginger, you can make some ginger tea and drink it during the come up or just take some ginger powder in a capsule.

3. Putting a cold compress on your forehead. Obviously this one isn't as accessible if you're at a rave, but if you're tripping at home I find this helps a lot.

4. Stay hydrated, drink water.

Personally, I always boof (mix your powder with ~1mL water and syringe it up your ass) or snort as to avoid nausea altogether.

If you decide to snort or boof...

• Lower the dosage: Something like 15mg 2C-B is a good dose for either of these.

• Expect pain, snorting 2C-B is rather unpleasant.

Mixing with other substances:

We have a whole flair dedicated to this and I suggest you all read through it, but here are the highlights.

Weed makes the trip stronger. As with most psychedelics weed will potentiate the high and intensify the trip. I love smoking weed on 2C-B but just remember, a lot of bad trips tend to start when someone smokes weed while on a stronger psychedelic. So decide if it's what you'd like, I don't recommend it if you have anxiety.

Nexus Flipping is when you take some 2C-B on an MDMA comedown, it's great and really helps you cope with the sometimes very uncomfortable molly comedown. Mixing drugs usually isn't the best idea but this combo is pretty well tried and true.

Anything you think should be on here drop in the comments :)

**ONGOING EDITS**

2C-B, as most people on this sub know, is a psychedelic phenethylamine created by Alexander Shulgin in the 70’s. It has become quite popular in Europe over the last couple of years and is usually found in pill form or as powder. The two most common forms of 2C-B are 2C-B hydrochloride (HCl) and 2C-B hydrobromide (HBr), the latter being a little less potent by weight. Both salt forms should be white in their pure form, but colors can range anywhere from white to brown. Having white 2C-B doesn‘t automatically mean that you have a pure product though, just like brown 2C-B can be very strong. Never judge powder by it‘s color!

That having said, I recently noticed an increase in posts / photos of people having pink "2C-B" a.k.a. Tucibi / Tuci / pink cocaine. This pink 2C-B (this article is absolute garbage btw) that‘s going around in Middle / South American countries and parts of the US (even a few European vendors have it in stock atm) is most likely NOT REAL 2C-B, BUT A MIX OF VARIOUS CHEMICALS!

Here‘s a few test-results of the pink "2C-B":

• https://www.drugsdata.org/view.php?id=8280

• https://www.drugsdata.org/view.php?id=4787

• https://www.drugsdata.org/view.php?id=9641

As far as I know there‘s not a single test-result of this pink powder being legit 2C-B (if there is one, feel free to correct me). The cartels that manufacture this crap mix various, often unstudied, psychoactive drugs (e.g. MDMA, ketamine, caffeine, etc.) together and pass it off as a completely different substance (whether this is on purpose or not). Please be smart and don‘t buy / consume this junk! People talk about how they snort multiple, cocaine-sized lines (often 0.5g or more) in one session and you really think this is legit 2C-B?? I mean c’mon, be a bit more wary. 2C-B‘s common intranasal dose-range is 5-20mg (a tiny amount of powder) and will induce an extremely painful burning sensation in your nostrils, followed by very intense, beautiful visuals and a strong bodyload.

This is a warning to all the people consuming this stuff. Please be careful and test your drugs! Please, for the sake of your own health, have your substances tested by a testing-facility (DrugsData / EnergyControl / Wedinos / etc.) or at least test your 2C-B with the necessary reagents, which are the Marquis reagent and the Mecke reagent. These two are absolutely vital if you want to ingest 2C-B! If you want to be even safer invest in the Robadope reagent (which distinguishes between 2C-B and 25B-NBOMe for example.). For further information check out r/reagenttesting. You can order test-kits online (thehup.org / reagent-tests.uk / bunkpolice.com / etc.) and some local headshops / smartshops might sell them too.

Stay safe.

EDIT (05/06/21): https://getyourdrugstested.com/test-results-archive/?search=2C-B - Here's a series of more tested pink "2C-B" / Tucibi samples. 9/10 turned out to be a mix of various chemicals and contained no 2C-B at all! One "light pink powder" sample turned out to be legitimate 2C-B, but of unknown purity. Stay safe and avoid pink powder at all cost! Thank you u/thehupdrugtest for making me aware of these additional test-results!

EDIT 2 (04/06/22): Vice released a pretty good video about the origin, use and manufacture of Tucibi. They also talk about the mistaken identity of Tucibi and 2C-B. Here’s the link, in case you’re interested.

EDIT 3 (31/08/22): As there is an increasing number of people stating the obvious that Tucibi is not 2C-B I want you to realize that this post is over two years old at this point. At the time of creating this post there was basically no information about this pink powder so it was unclear whether it was being passed off as 2C-B or if it was just a confusion of their strikingly similar names. Either way, I still discourage people from buying or using this stuff since it’s impossible to know what’s in there without laboratory analysis and buying pre-mixed drug combinations is a good way to unknowingly take too much since you don’t know the concentrations and possible interactions of the substances involved. If you want to mix MDMA and ketamine (the two major components of most analyzed samples) just buy them individually and combine them responsibly. Stay safe.

EDIT 4 (10/03/25): How it all started! Insight Crime tracked down the origin of Tusibi and how the phonetic misrepresentation began. Here's the link: https://insightcrime.org/news/tusi-the-pink-drug-cocktail-that-tricked-latin-america/
