No, no such luck I'm afraid I haven't had a chance to essay the substance yet. My primary relation and grounds for interaction with buddy is of a lysergic nature - and that train has been grinding kind of slowly lately. I still intend to get my hands on some and give it a whirl as soon as possible but the ball is more or less in his (and his friend's) court. I spoke to one other person who was aware of this batch, and now there's some confusion as to whether the substance is the new and previously unexplored DMMDMA compound or if it's DMMDA, which while it would still be awesome to try, is a little less cool because it's a known substance that Shulgin did include in PiHKAL. Whichever it is, it's apparently in freebase oil form (does this mean it has to be smoked? I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea of smoking a psychedelic described as being comparable to a 100ug dose of LSD - especially wherein the substance is on the fringe of the fringe of known science) - and their attempts to get it to dry into a salt have failed thus far.
So, I am alive - just a little busy with scholastic and work-related burdens, I have not tried it yet.. but I don't intend to pull a "Crimson Cloud" of my own volition. It's just a matter of getting the sample at this juncture, which I still imagine will soon come to pass. I've been meaning to lay off the psychedelics for a few months, but I find around every corner there is grounds for some special exemption... which is becoming a bit ridiculous.
Between the DMMDA, the plethora of fresh batches of LSD available, the Foxy & Alpha-O that have just arrived, and the DiPT, 2C-E, 2C-I, and T-7 that another buddy has lying around - as well as the fact that mushroom season is beginning out in the pacific northwest and I've seen a few fresh psilocybes growing in the neighborhood.... it's proving quite difficult to edge off the desire to do indulge.
Though tentatively the DMMDA/DMMDMA and the Foxy are the two that I think are worth breaking the rule for.
I Will keep everyone posted.
-Keep Hope Alive.
