A Trip Report on Molly + 2-CB at the Beach

I wrote this 6/5/2025 the day after the experience, but realized I haven’t yet added it to the blog. As someone who is quite sensitive to them, I’m usually a substance purist, but having done Molly and 2-CB separately I could imagine they might actually pair synergistically in a way I’d find enjoyable so I decided to mix them. Beforehand we read that the ideal dosing schedule is to take the 2-CB once you’ve passed the peak on Molly and are beginning to come down and we followed that instruction.

Last night we took MDMA & after the peak of the third dose added 2cb to the party. We created a nasal spray with 2cb & saline and dosing therefore is imprecise. I expect I insufflated 12-15mg as this was my first experience with the pairing and wanted to ease in, but who knows. I received the dose I was intended.

In retrospect I’d probably dose the 2cb after first or second dose of Molly rather than 3rd. By the time I ingested I was already rather tired and depleted and mental acuity lessened.

It was still quite enjoyable; the two pair well together as an enhancement of each other; quite complimentary. Interestingly I felt that the Molly lessened the intensity of the 2cb come up for me, which on its own can be rather extreme and for about an hour I’m intolerant of certain stimuli (and everything is stimulating) often pleading with my husband to get phones away from me because I can feel the 5G 😹

I insisted we go out onto the beach and play under the stars. Distance dilation was fascinating. The closer we walked to the ocean, the further away it seemed to be. Coupled with time dilation the walk to the ocean felt like quite the trek. “Are we there yet?” I’m reminded of how skewed time perception is for us as children also… or maybe it’s now skewed and that was more accurate. Maybe the closer we get to our own mortality and feeling like time is running out, the more it flies by.

Back to the trip, open eye visuals were present, but light, next time I’ll probably increase dose to 20. But tbf I kept my eyes closed often due to the sensory intensity. Closed eye visuals were more like visions; premonitions. I could see the future. I could see our energies projected into a moment that does not exist yet.

I also would like to experience this while still light out on the beach. My backyard at home is lush and green and every plant becomes vines moving toward me in infinite fractal patterns. I saw hints in the dark of the ocean moving toward and engulfing me. I’d love to contrast my vines at home with this landscape during daylight. 2cb, as always, calls me outside. The air indoors feels artificial; lacking in vitality.

Last but not least, sex was frequent and the sensations amplified. I also preferred it outside and at times sex felt like a catalyst to my premonitions. There’s a constant feeling of dynamism to me on 2cb and I ride along with the movements; accepting the vines coming toward me; letting them carry me away.

Today I feel somewhat hungover from the Molly but still basking in the beauty of the experience. Enjoying the sun and wind on the beach. 🤍
