In my experience, 2CB is unique in its own way and has a special magic that I can only attribute to 2CB. I have not found any compound, RC substances, or combinations that come close to replicating it. It is often described as being "mildly LSD and mildly like MDMA." Despite having tried candyflipping (LSD MDMA) many times, I can say with certainty that it is not really close (fairly not even close) to the experience of 2CB (as some other trip reports on reddit).

2CB offers simplistic yet fast-paced visuals that are uniquely pleasant. In comparison to traditional psychedelics, which can become overwhelming at high doses with complex visual patterns and geometric shapes, 2CB's visuals remain enjoyable even at higher doses. It feels like experiencing the excitement of kissing someone you really like for the first time. The visuals don't overwhelm even due its fast changing patterns, even in a solo setting at high doses, and can evoke feelings of falling in love or nostalgia for childhood memories.

At mild to common doses, 2CB induces extreme feelings of eroticism and empathogenic melting, great for having sex with partner and practicing eroto-comatose lucidity, without the strong vasoconstriction like with MD(xx) compounds, accompanied by clear-headed thought processing and pleasant body sensations. Afterward, I often feel rejuvenated. However, 2CB-HBOH, while similar, can be more complex and sometimes very negative. It may unpredictably switch from blissful feelings to severe mental changes, mood swings, muscle and body pain, reminiscent of the comedown from substances like NBOMe family.

In my personal experience, I can say that 2CB and 2CB-HBOH are not comparable or even fairly similar. 2CB-HBOH has a unique, intriguing geometry shaping, slower drifting, melting, and shifting speed, and a more non-clear pseudo-spiritual nature - like acid made by an A.I. Substances in the HBOH family (including NBOMe family) share a lysergamide-like body load on their peak, (only on peak) leading to unpleasant and painful comedowns and long-lasting post-trip exhaustion. This contrasts with lysergamides like LSD, where the post-trip feeling is more of mental emptiness rather than body aches, added with impending doom.

Each substance offers its own unique experience, and personal reactions can vary greatly.
