-- "Nexus" (substance 2C-B) - ever tired it?

Question "Nexus" (substance 2C-B) - ever tired it?

Have any of you guys ever tried this substance, its chemical formula is (4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine), and it slowly starting to become a substitute for Ecstasy in some European countries. Nobody seems to have a clue as to what it is here in Canada. I am really curious to try it, and just want some feed back on it from you guys.
From my research on it, I gather that its pretty safe with responisble use, and is psychoactive properties closely resemble a hybrid between MDMA and LSD. However, its not simply a combination of the two, but rather a unique experience which is extermly colorful and euphoric.

ya i ve tried it that stuff was all over here in Texas at least where i live in houston last summer. i know alot of peeps got sick off it but alot do on E too. to me it was more like acid then E except that i didnt have zoned out feeling i get when i used to trip on acid really cool visuals though alot stronger then i thought i know some friends really thought it was like candy flipping but i never got the rush that E gives me so i wasnt that impressed if i wanted to just have hallucinations i woulda taken acid it was cheaper(not that nexus was expensive) but i would tell you to try it if you can its not all that bad but dont expect to be rollin real hard.

Hmmm personally I'd rather pass on a cheap substitute for X...Instead try getting a good batch of X. I hear that pink supermans are a really good role.

If it's pink I think it has speed in it (that used to be the case anyway)....

But anywayz...I'll ak around cuz I never heard any of my friendz about it..and I live in Drug Paradise! j/k

hmmm interesting. ive nevah heard of it, but id be cautious with something that is brand new and 'safe'. mostly cause the fact that if its new, then there really isnt anyway to say that its safe - there isnt a history of problems if it just started. but like i said, i dont even know what it is! haha late/


Posted by feisty boy on Oct-23-2001 23:41:

from what i heard, it was widespread in europe for awhile before it showed its face over here.

i have a couple of friends who've tried it, and it's pretty seriously hallucinogenic, not so much euphoric. not up my alley, that's for sure.

always educate yourself to the fullest before trying something new....

Thumbs down

More shit about drugs, guy i'm trying shit like that........lmao. I guess people realize i'm anti-drugs..........oh well.

Torontotrance, perhaps you need to educate yourself a little more before you start shooting off such comments as "drugs are pure bullshit" like you did in the other post, and not have such a general negative attitude towards them. Again "drugs", I hope include alcohol for use as well, otherwise you would be degrading yourself to a ignorant simpleton. Many psychoactive substance are of great value as tools for various medical authorities, and should not be discredited just because the lay public abuses them! Don't be influenced by years of conditioning of various governmental propaganda, educate yourself to better understand the wonderful world of human psychoactives, and their potential benefits.

Yeah, ignorance is all about surface thinking, who just take whatever propaganda government/society/religion dishes out.

I agreed, alcohol is just as bad or worse (since it's legal) compared to drugs (ie: drunk driving).

As for Nexus, I have no clue. Ideally, metaphysically, spiritually and magically -- you are the drug. Hopefully, some drugs can be the tool to self-realization.

And just a question, what are your primary interests in psychoactives?

blanket generalisations like "drugs are bad" are just ignorant.

who are you to say? how do you know what a drug experience might have done for someone, to change their outlook on life for the better?

their is a huge difference between drug use and drug abuse....

My primary interest in psychoactives came about with my first MDMA experience. It opened up my eyes to just how spiritually and psychologically enriching certain psychoactives can be. Here is an account of my first MDMA experience that got posted on "Erowid".

Rebirth
MDMA (Ecstasy)
by Mark


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




DOSE : 1 tablet oral MDMA (Ecstasy) (pill / tablet)

BODY WEIGHT : 200 lb


This story is about the wonderful healing powers of Ecstasy. It is also a story of human connectiveness, but most of all it is a story of personal rebirth!

To give a short history of personal psychoactive use, I was mostly limited to some weed, and a few LSD trips that were riveting but never too emotionally enriching. Having given up the rave scene for at least 4 years and being 23 I thought that my parting days were all but behind me. Then one day on a summer night of June 2000, I decided to check out this club called 'Meow' here in Toronto, with my buddy Numan and Robin whom I just met at work. It was some time since I've been to a club, (most of my friends sort of all grew out of clubing) I was quite excited to go. Going back to my old routine, I picked up a mickey of rum before the club and downed half of it before getting there. Upon my arrival I had a nice buzz, everything seemed just fine. The music Mark Oliver spun was awesome (the best of trance and progressive), I was having a blast. Unfortunately, 2 hours later at 1:30 my buzz was completely gone and I was craving a high. Everybody around me was having such a great time, and knowing that this club was notorious for Ecstasy and GHB, I decided to give E a shot.

Having researched MDMA before, I knew exactly what I was getting my self into. It was something I was always meaning to try but never got around to doing. Five mintues later Numan brings me this little 'Blue Macintosh' pill, and I swallow it with some water. Just the act of taking the pill brought forth excitement and joy. Every few minutes I glanced down on my watch, but nothing was happening. Finally, after 30 minutes I was convinced that either this pill was fake or I had some weird tolerance to it. Then all of a sudden I began experiencing these butterflys in my stomach (the kind you get when you were a kid and knew you were gonna do something really exciting that day). A couple minutes later, IT HIT ME!! A feeling came over me like none other ever experienced before. Life was wonderful, it was beautiful, it was ecstatic. Words could not explain how I was feeling, to say that 'I was on top of the world' was a gross understatement. I felt waves of universal love and energy rush all through out my body. It was as if I tapped into a collective consciousness with everyone else in the club. For the first time in my life I felt unity so strong that other people became a part of who I was. This feeling surpassed all boundaries of gender, race, and ethnicity.

For sometime prior to this night I wasn't feeling the greatest about my self, not really depressed but unhappy. My sense of self identity and direction was not as developed as I would have liked, and I just had a aura of negativity surrounding me. It almost seems as if all the years in this ever constriciting and neurotic society had desensitized me from living life to the fullest. This night however changed all that, the MDMA was a magical gateway. I was feeling awesome about my self, life was wonderful, it was truly a gift to cherish. I felt a sense of rebirth. A feeling I have not experienced since childhood.

As the E slowly peaked, I was completely mesmerized by this new state of mind. I will never forget standing under a ventilator peaking on E, while 'DJ Tiesto's in Search of Sunrise Remix of Silence' was at its peak. That I truly believe is the closest I ever came to sheer bliss!! I become one with the music, one with the crowd, and one with humanity. I realized what it means to be human, and our role as collective species. True happiness comes with self love and love of others. Without this fundamental truth we can never reach ultimate salvation. This chemically induced, eye opening experience made me realize the potential within me to love life and all its creation.

To progress with the story, I must say that as you would expect after the peak things slowly began returning back to normal. However, the decline was not very linear one, but rather very sudden. One moment I was in heaven and five minutes later as it seemed I was thrown into this world I did not want to come back to. It was a very unwanted experiences. I did not want to return, I kept asking my self why is such bliss possible only with the aid of a chemical. Life is not fair!! I felt like a child ripped from thou mother's arms and thrown into a world of misery and uncertainty. All of life's problems and concerns, abruptly made their presence known once again. Fortunately, amongst this negative experience I realized that I was left with something. A sort of gift that I felt was there to stay even long after the effects of the drug wear off. That gift was the opportunity to peak inside a world where only love, unity, and peace prevailed.

That new found knowledge, I knew would serve as a guide to lead me in a more positive manner with a better outlook on life as well as others. Life can't always be sheer bliss, but it could be made more worthy and fulfilling. If we only take pleasure in the small things in life and cherish those around us, it will definitively become a much better place for us and others to live in. Since that night, roughly a year has elapsed, and I have used Ecstasy about 6 or 7 times. Although none seemed as powerful as the first, each time those same feelings are brought forth to my consciousness and act as a reinforcer to making life more enjoyable. Doing Ecstasy was by far one of, if not the most intense experiences of my life. Since then I have tried to pass that knowledge to all around me. I truly believe that with responsible use, and the right precautions such as antioxidant use as well as tryptophan supplementation, many people can benefit from this wonderful substance. I only wish that the medical health community embraces this wonderful, enlightening cure and use it to conquer fears and problems in troubled individuals. Thank you for reading my story, I can only hope it can inspire you to better youreself as it has done to me.

trancextacy, your story put a huge grin on my face.
but meow??? ah well....

very similar to my first experience. suddenly realizing how my own actions, my own demeanor, can have such an effect on other people's feelings. how important generosity is, in all its facets. and how my own outlook is the source of my happiness.

and that first comedown! when you suddenly realize that you are back in "reality", out of nowhere, and it seems so wrong.

it's all about transferring those experiences into real life, not forgetting them, not dismissing them as "drug talk". learning to reach that same state of enlightenment later, without the use of drugs.

our brains are all about chemicals. human beings have been ingesting other chemicals to catalyze new thoughts since the dawn of time - it's part of who we are.

and i sound like an idiot. ah well...

Rasta

TranceXtasy, what can I say? But CO.OL!! That, my friend, is the awakening of Satori (Enlightenment). Do you realize devoted Buddhist practitioners can achieve what you experienced?

My experience is just the same with yours - stunning, piercing the core of your [my] being. The only difference is the setting: I sat alone in darkness, meditated, and reached Satori by accident. But in life, there are no accidents. Just like you, what was shown to me is a glimpse of latent spiritual gifts. An insight into the nature of reality within ourselves, others, and the world.

Nelson Mandela said it best:


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.


Essentially, your outlook is the power of thought manifesting a reality. Who knows what other doors of perceptions you will open when you peer deeper into yourself.

Peace to All

2cb and 2ct7 i believe are pretty similar..

a friend of mine passed away last year, he had taken 2ct7 and one mdma pill. the doctors dont know why it happened or what caused him to die, but it was an overdose.

please be careful, guys.

I'm sorry for that sothis...

but all I want to say is...it kills me to see that you North-American peeps make such a fuzz...such a big deal out of it!
it's not like you do drugs to complete the experience that you are having while out to party, but more like you do drugs to experience a new world or smth...all the research you do, and the stories you write about your experiences...i feel like you're not far away from worshipping the great E God or smth (no, not james m )

like a friend of mine that told me he wished he permanently had an E rush..and i feel like..wtf? why would you even want that? to me it's a part of the whole E thing that you get sober after a while, and i'd hate it if i never got sober again! imagine how you'd be! omg!

a well...to each his own or smth
