Kaleidescoping: Multi Days of Entheogens: Part 1

Lots to unpack here as I had an eventful vacation week! We decided beforehand that we wanted to partake in several days of entheogens. For context we were on an EDM Festival Cruise. I wasn’t sure how this would go as I typically prefer solitude on psychedelics. I felt least comfortable with trying mushrooms in a social setting, so I elected not to try those.

This will be a 3 part Trip Report on 2-CB, LSD, & Molly (with a bonus debut of ketamine) as well as a bit of info in part 3 about ordering the use of multiple entheogens in short succession to have the best experience on each.

2-CB

Date: 2025.11.02

Dose: 16-19mg (the powder is very fine and I removed a bit from the original amount I put in. It felt like more than 15 and less than 20 as my best guess.

Ingestion Method: oral - powder inside a veggie capsule

Time to onset was approximately 15 minutes for me, which is faster than most people report feeling onset via oral ingestion, but has been typical for me. I dropped around 6:30pm and went to watch a DJ. By 8pm I wanted to come back to the room. I was not very into the music, and I can’t dance if I am not feeling the music. Normally not dancing among others who are doesn’t bother me much, I do what I feel and don’t worry about it. But on the 2-cb I felt a bit self-conscious about it. Surrounded by weirdos in costumes thrashing around, I felt like the weirdo standing still.

Once back in the room I felt better and laid down on the bed. I started drifting a bit as it kicked in more and Ian asked me what I was doing… “just kaleidoscoping.” “Like you’re seeing kaleidoscopy?” he replied.  “No, like my body is a kaleidoscope. I’m being a kaleidoscope.”

I spent some time kaleidoscoping and then began to see myself traveling through a vortex like you see at 42 seconds into this video I made the following day to commemorate my experience. I described it to him as looking and feeling like I was going down the tube water slide on the ship, swirling with the water.

I talked to him about some of the frequent insights I get on 2-cb about the importance of my bones and how I feel they root me to some Nordic ancestry. The importance of my freckles. The way the past has funneled together to insure that I have this particular freckle on this particular spot on my hand. Each time I do this I begin to understand the significance. How everything brought my ancestors, and then the formation of me, to be created just in this way.

I spoke again on the lack of synovial fluid and my acute awareness of it as I begin to come down and my joints begin to ache. He felt this too and said, “I would give it all up to become a jellyfish.” 🪼 I agreed that being a jellyfish sounded much better and let myself become one for a bit.

Before midnight I had come down enough to feel like I could try to go in public again and there was another band we wanted to see. I told him I needed a few moments to collect myself and re-form myself into a human being again. I touched up my make-up and imagined myself forming back into some semblance of a human.

We walked to the stage and began to dance, this music I liked, plus my inhibitions were no longer present regardless. I watched the costume-clad weirdos and began to giggle. He asked me what I was laughing about. “I said do you know the amount of effort I put into restructuring myself to come down here? And for what? No one else formed themselves into a human!”
