Hello,
After trying this chemical's relative (4-ACO-MIPT), I gained access to approximately 100mg of 4-HO-MIPT. Since I didn't have a scale, i made a poor decision (though it would have been worse with a larger amount) and eyeballed a dose.
At t+0:00 I took 12.5mg, and at t+0:20 I took another 12.5mg. I also snorted 6.25mg at t+0:30 which had the effect of pushing the trip off its natural progression up towards its peak almost immediately (by t+0:40).
I made the error of assuming this substance's dose would be similar to the 4-ACO version, which was a pretty poor decision on my part (I didn't do my homework and rushed into it too fast). The trip was extremely intense and the body load was really uncomfortable; I had intense jittering, jaw clenching, tons of sweating and I felt really "on edge" for the whole time.
Besides the body load, though, it was a really intense psychedelic experience. I know the visuals are kind of hit or miss with this substance, but in my opinion it is an extremely visual drug: tons of color, shape and depth distortions, the (white) christmas lights I hung up in my room finally paid off with rays of rainbow-colored light.
I was disappointed in the mental aspect, though. I -know- there's something there mentally, but the whole experience was at a level of intensity that I couldn't say "stop" to even a small extent: on psychedelics, I like to be able to take a step back (even if just for a second) to get my bearings, or realign my path on what really is a "journey."
I will say that I finally truly appreciated the beauty of good music while on psychedelics; I listened to The Beatles' Abbey Road and really appreciated it on a level that I don't think I've reached while sober; interconnections in the album, the amazingly intense guitar of I Want You (She's So Heavy) really spoke to me on a pretty deep level that I (thankfully) retain through sobriety and to today, around 3 days later.
My scale should be coming in the mail today or tomorrow, and when it does I'll both weigh out what I have remaining (my supplier is known for their exact measurements in orders) to determine what dose I took this night, and probably trip again on a more reasonable dose that might facilitate some traditional psychedelic exploration (15-20mg, perhaps).
