So I just tried this stuff for the (what I think is*) first time night-before-last. My scale said 8mg, but I understand with a weight that small it's bound to be inaccurate (I weighed it on top of a little metal tray, on top of 3 quarters stacked on each other). Also ate a couple grams of Green Maeng Da kratom to get myself in a bit-more-giddy mood. It took quite a while to hit, somewhere around 40-50 minutes to hit, then seemed to come-up in a few stages. Over the course of an hour or so it grew, every 20 minutes or so, another step higher; more euphoria, and visuals were more pronounced. Music was wonderful, everything was funny, the visuals were - while not super prevalent - quite pretty.
At about 3.5 hours in, I decided to take 1mg etizolam so I could comfortably get stoned and relax my head a little bit. I ended up not being able to fall asleep (even after a 2nd mg of etizolam) until T+6 hours.
Here's a good idea of the timeframe:
Dosed @ 00:30
First alerts @ 01:10
++ @ 01:30
+++ @ 02:10
++ @ 3:00
1mg Etizolam @ 03:30
1mg Etizolam @ 04:30
Asleep @ 06:30
Interestingly, I noticed it was very "wavey", in the intensity of acid waves. I have a similar experience with mushrooms, however this was MUCH more pronounced. Light visuals, chill mind, and euphoria for 20 minutes or so, then ramping up to harder visuals, trippier mind, and less-euphoria for another 20 minutes. During the latter phase, my nose was really runny, and my eyes were quite watery.
Overall, I really really enjoyed this stuff. I'm not really sure what dosage of mushrooms I could compare it to, as they obviously vary quite a bit. I tend to be pretty sensitive to tryptamines (18mg 4-HO-MET was ridiculously mindfucky). I'd like to give it another shot, maybe 15mg or so next time.
(*A few years ago, I had 26mg of what was sold as 4-AcO-DMT, but the bag said "4HM" on it, so we figure it was actually 4-ho-met; my confirmed 4-ho-met experience was only recently, so I can't compare them at all, other than that 26mg being...way, way too much).
