DM Turner- The Esseential psychedelic guide

taking a aufficient dose was strongly negative. I felt as though a mesh of
interference patterns was placed before my awareness, obscuring all thought
and perception. It seemed like the 2C-B and mushrooms were trying to alter
my consciousness in opposing directions, and they frustrated each other's
efforts. I also had a feeling that I was hexed, that there was some force
preventing me from venturing into an expanded state of awareness.
This general feeling of confinement and oppression led to negative thoughts
and feelings, producing the longest lasting and most unpleasant psychedelic
trip I've had in years. It felt like a serious slap in the face, an infusion of the
states of mind and reality tunnels that some of life's less fortunate people
have to endure.
Always the experimenter, I decided to try Ketamine in the midst of this
journey, hoping it might reverse things. Initially the ego death produced by
the K released me from what I'd been feeling, but with the return to
self-awareness the negativity was spread out into the Ketamine domain.
I finally emerged from my tripping room and went up to my living room to
put on some music. There I was startled to see a large black spider on the
center cf my polished marble coffee table. It took less than a moment for me
to realize that this was an omen, as I've rarely seen spiders of this size in the
area I live, and never on the center of the coffee table that I built by hand.
Omens that I've received in the past have included a bat flying into my
home on halloween.
Based on these two experiences I've concluded that 2C-B + mushrooms is a
combination not to be messed with, although I have a sense that a powerful
shaman may be able to make use of it. Many South American shamans can
control combinations which include the Belladonna alkaloids, a substance
which drives some people to insanity. Of course, since 2C-B is a modern
synthetic substance, there is no centuries-old tradition of shamanic use. And
if it throws me for a loop, those who can master it must be few and far
between.
2C-B + Ketamine - 2C-B and Ketamine produce highs which are quite
different. Taken in combination it feels like two streams crossing at right
angles, thereby producing a uniquely new universe of experience. This
combination works well with either a small or large dose of Ketamine (25
mg. to 100 mg.) With a smaller dose of Ketamine I do not go on the
Ketamine journey, but the relaxed immersion in flowing psychedelic mental
fireworks is most enjoyable. When used with 2C-B, the Ketamine recovery
period is also diminished, with ease of movement, no feeling of nausea, and
sometimes incredible physical energy. I have frequently emerged from the
