^ i wasn't trying to implying you or anyone else was doing that - definitely wasn't intending that as a criticism man.
i've learned the hard way about giving people drugs that they're probably ill-equipped to handle. i may be a 'psychonaut', but most people are
not.
though it's pretty natural for people that experiment with obscure drugs to want to share the good ones with their friends.
personally, most of my friends don't read bluelight or have any awareness of RCs or novel arylcyclohexamines, so i'm not sure i'd feeel comfortable giving it to them, if only because i wouldn't know how to take it in a social context where multiple people are on it.
i think MXE was the sort of drug you could turn people on to fairly confidently, but this stuff, not so much.
the effects aren't as consistent, or as easy to gauge, i feel like it's subtle to a point, but past that point it can be pretty fucking shattering. not necessarily in a bad way, if you know how to handle your sense of self and reality disintegrating. i know a lot of people would be very uncomfortable at that level of dissociation, especially the sort of people who are uneasy if they're not fully in control of their faculties.
i tend to take it and lie down with my eyes closed, listening to music and smoking weed. pretty much the same way i treat ket, or MXE for that matter.
i like it... quite a lot, but i still don't really know what to make of it sometimes. it's fascinating, but i don't know how i would suggest anyone else approach its use.
having said that, it sounds like you have similar stuff to me, cozzie. i imagine the people who report manic effects must treat it very differently?
