I fully agree on what Mister Zot said. Another interesting substance for a beginner(after you tried weed), i would recommend 2cb. It's one the psychedelics that even on a higher not, not really solves your ego. I only done 2cb couple of times and on only one of the experience, effective. I where tripping on my own with my eyes closed. It was almost a full lucid dream, although i couldn't fully decide what i exactly i wanted to see, i could make the outcomes of everything exactly how i wanted. Thoughts came same how to life, in a very alien way. But like i said, i could think clearly. More clearly then on any other psychedelic i have done.
The effects of 2cb depends very much on the dosage, on 20mg it feels more like amfetamine like substance, and the first psychedelic senses start to get noticable. But around the 30mg, it really becomes a psychedelic. The visuals are fantastic and strong! But you still have a very clear mind compared to the other psychedelic substances. Although i took 60mg in one night, i didn't even felt the tension that it was getting to overwhelming. Which i still experience sometimes on shrooms or acid and other substances.
