SHULGIN wrote (PIHKAL, Transform Press Berkeley, CA, ISBN 0-9630096-0-5, p. 718):
At low threshold levels (10 mg area) there were eyes-closed „dreams“ with some body tingling. The compound was not anorexic at any dose (up to 140 mg) and was reported to produce a pleasant, positive feeling. It is very short lived (about three houres). The N-methyl-homologue...is similar in action, but is perhaps twice as potent (a plus one or plus two dose is 60 mg) and of twice the duration.
Trial 1:
Salt: Hydrogen-tartrate
Dose of free base related to a 75 kg body: 19.4 mg
Route of Administration: o.e.s. (oral, empty stomach)
Duration: ≤ 5 h
Notes: after ½ h something happened; everything seems to be more substancial, more density...good communication, I hear better, hear my own breath. But it seems to me, that depth of feeling is diminished.
Trial 2:
Salt: Hydrogen-tartrate
Dose of free base related to a 75 kg body: 29 mg
Route of Administration: o.e.s. (oral, empty stomach)
Duration: ≤ 6 h
Notes: efficiency less than that of trial 1
Trial 3:
Salt: Hydrogen-tartrate
Dose of free base related to a 75 kg body: 42 mg
Route of Administration: o.e.s. (oral, empty stomach)
Duration: ≤ 5 h
Notes: only little effect
Trial 4:
Salt: Hydrogen-tartrate
Dose of free base related to a 75 kg body: 64 mg
Route of Administration: o.e.s. (oral, empty stomach)
Duration: na h
Notes: only little effect
Trial 5:
Salt: Mesilate (CH3-SO2-O⊖)
Dose of free base related to a 75 kg body: 10.4 mg
Route of Administration: s.l. (sub lingua)
Duration: ≤ 5 h
Notes: little effects, some houres little bit cheeriness/tidiness
Trial 6:
Salt: Mesilate (CH3-SO2-O⊖)
Dose of free base related to a 75 kg body: 23 mg
Route of Administration: s.l. (sub lingua)
Duration: 6 h
Notes: feeling „enlarged“, „rised“. Looked pictures of „beinart“ (
http://beinart.org/), and suddenly I could no longer concentrat me to that terrible kind of art, no interest at all, something others is going on. (SHULGIN´s scale: until around +1)
Trial 7:
Salt: Mesilate (CH3-SO2-O⊖)
Dose of free base related to a 75 kg body: 12 mg
Route of Administration: s.l. (sub lingua)
Duration: 4 h
Notes: bad concentration, tinnitus, „doughy“ intens impressions; unpleasant
Comments:
s.l. >20mg is hardly to take for me because of increased salivation.
Between the tests there were meantime of some weeks to some years.
o.e.s.: unsure response, s.l. better. May be also better by injection.
