I did a first trial of this yesterday. It was 6mg rectal. I only have 20mg (now 14mg) and wanted to work up in 2 doses which is why I went the rectal route. I will write an "official" trip report once I do the larger dose sometime.
First trial of 5-MeO-MET - 6mg orally

2:30pm (T+0:00) - Ingested 6mg of 5-MeO-MET rectally. It has the appearance of a tan, fine powder, reminiscent of the 5-MeO-MiPT I have. I tasted a tiny bit of it (just a dusting elft on the weighing tray) and it tastes just about like 5-MeO-MiPT. I'm about to run down the street and pick something up. I wanted to work out but I don't have time. When I get back, I have some work to do and my boss to talk to about that work. Afterwards I will go to band practice. I wanted to have a normal day where I had work and music in order to test what should be a fairly low dose of this. I find it to be a good calibration setting with which to gauge a substance's effects profile. At a later time I will take the rest in a different setting to try for a full experience. I only have 20mg of this, which is why I opted for rectal administration, considering 20mg is in the middle of a "common" dosage in the sparse information available. Rectal tends to double the strength, so this should get me the two experiences I am aiming for, from light to full.
3:15pm (T+0:45) - Just got back. I wrote a single note in my phone, "T+0:08 - lightheaded euphoria". Very quickly, I experienced a flush of physical pleasure and almost a bit of a spinny-headed feeling, but in a good way. There was very little transition, I just suddenly began feeling good, with a light but definite emotional euphoric push. I still feel that same way, it has increased a bit but it was remarkable how quickly it established itself. Unlike with 5-MeO-MiPT, there is basically no unpleasant jangliness to it, it's extremely smooth. There is no anxiety to speak of, really no come-up feelings. The amplitude of the euphoria is less than what I tend to feel with 5-MeO-MiPT, but there is also far less of a price. There is a faint suggestion of a visual change, but no actual change. So far this has been entirely pleasant. It feels slightly stimulating, in that I'm doing a bit of jaw clenching, but I feel calm. It feels like more of an entactogen than a psychedelic at this dosage, but I can tell the psychedelia will develop more at a higher dose. I have a bit of psychedelic social awkwardness, very manageable, but it's there.
5:15pm (T+2:45) - The last 2 hours really flew by. I was working, so I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the effects. I was able to work quite effectively. I was talking on the phone with my boss and presenting some stuff I found for a good portion of that, and I had no difficulties with that except for a slight propensity for difficulty in word recall poking out here and there. Nothing major though. I still feel nice now, it feels past peak, but still more or less the same as before, just a little less intense. I have the feeling this is a very light dose and that it will develop more as the dose is pushed. I think next time, given its very unthreatening and comfortable nature, I will dose the remaioning 14mg rectally, which should (going by standard convention) be roughly equivalent to about 28mg orally, which should be a fairly strong dose. I ate a small meal, and eating was pleasant. I am just trying to finish up some final work tasks, and then I am off to band practice.
The next morning
The rest of the night was marked by pleasantness and transparency. I showed up at band practice and felt at ease. One of our members didn't show up, and didn't let us know until the last minute, and the others were highly annoyed, and I was annoyed too, but still found myself in good humor and suggested we work on some other stuff. The music was very good, we worked out a new cover for our show in a couple of days, and practiced some stuff we were rusty on. I felt I was playing about average, but I was exceptionally into it and felt very creative.
I quit smoking cigarettes about a week ago, and my bandmates smoke, and band practice and shows are my biggest trigger, but I felt at peace not smoking. I don't know if 5-MeO-MET aided me in that or if I just am pleased to no longer be smoking cigarettes. It's hard to say exactly when the effects wore off, as they were very smooth and background to begin with. I kept feeling the warm glow of contentment, even at 10pm (T+7:30) when I got home, but it was most certainly an afterglow. It was hard to differentiate the post-peak and the afterglow. This morning I feel normal with no afterglow, hangover, or any sign that I took anything yesterday.
I find it curious that 5-MeO-MET is quite a bit less potent than the other 5-MeO-tryptamines I am aware of (5-MeO-MiPT, 5-MeO-DiPT, 5-MeO-AMT, 5-MeO-EiPT), even though 4-HO/AcO-MET and MET itself are not particularly less potent than their cousins. Other than the potency, I can't help but draw similarities to 5-MeO-MiPT. Both are have marked by a euphoric glow, with some psychedelia but an equal amount of empathigenic/emptactogenic loveliness. It might not hold true at a higher dose, but I found 5-MeO-MET to be less intense, more comfortable, less euphoric, and less psychedelic.
I look forward to trying the rest of what I have. I kind of wish I had saved the whole 20mg for one single go, but I wanted to be cautious with something so obscure.
tl;dr - Similar to 5-MeO-MiPT, less potent, more comfortable, less intense.
. I know I'm repeating myself but it's so hard to put into words. It was a feeling that everything was OK, and that I just had to "try my best in life." That was the message.
