This is my first post, and this substance was so magical, and there is such little information available on it, that I felt obliged to write about my experience.
I've had a sample (100 mg or so) of this material lying around for several months now. It was sent to me as an extra by a vendor who I had ordered some Butyr-F from. Test results from the B-F proved very promising, but after a lack of self-discipline became apparent following a few trials, the remainder of the substance found itself by way of the commode. I am very well versed in psychedelics, and have personally tried probably 40+ different substances of the triptamine/Phenethylamines type. After reading Shulgin's reports, I really didn't have an intense desire to give HOT-7 a try. But, recently I came across this thread and a new interest was sparked. Last night my gf and I decided to indulge.
I weighed out 19 mg for myself and 16 mg for B. An hour and a half following ingestion, slight effects began to be apparent, and this is about the time that a discomfort in our stomachs started to be felt. This became more and more intense, until it was overwhelming for both of us, especially for B. I tried my best to assure myself and B that this would pass, but it persisted for at least 2 full hours. B vomited at one point, and this almost sparked the same reaction in me, but I was able to hold everything down.
As soon as the nausea subsided (about 4.5 hours after ingestion of HOT), the magic started to happen and a +++ was achieved. I felt amazing. It almost seemed like a mix between E and 2c-e. Colors were very warm and had a very distinctive mustard tent to them. Music was delightful, and for much of the time, I became entranced in my LED christmas lights hanging in my apartment. At some point I thought smoking a bit of weed might mix well. This was what took everything to a ++++ for me. And the only other times I've been at this level, Lucy, Molly, or Mushys were taken. With each hit I took, it felt as though I had smoked a stout hit of DMT. Within seconds of blowing out the smoke, everything started to spiral and geometrical shapes became intensely intertwined with both open and closed eyes. The amount of euphoria I felt at this time, is indescribable. I just sat back and enjoyed the ride. This went on very strong for the following three and a half hours. I kept thinking that this was the longest peak I had felt with any substance.
B was having an intense enough ride without the pot, but after smoking two bowls and telling her about the euphoria, she decided to indulge. This was a mistake for her. B has a disturbed past, and pot has been known to randomly bring out a dark side within her, and this happened almost immediately following her first hit. She complained about going too deep, and I assured her she would be fine, but it only got more and more intense for her, in a bad way, and I immediately got up to find my etizolam. I gave her a milligram at a time, until 4 mg were given. Even then, it took her quite a bit of time for her to come down. All the while, I started to become disturbed by what was going on with her, and decided that it was time to end things for myself as well. I administered two mg of etizolam and took several grams of Kratom. Kratom is my favorite substance, along with etizolam, to use when coming off a good psychedelic. B ended up needing 6-7 mg total of etizolam before sleep was reached, and I ended up passing out on the couch an hour or so after the kratom was ingested.
I woke up feeling a bit hungover, but have felt relatively good all day with the help of a couple beers and kratom, of course. This will go down as one of my most memorable experiences thus far, and I cant wait to indulge in this substance again. For me, the dosage was perfect. I wouldn't go any higher, or any lower for that matter. The nausea was intense for a couple of hours, but it was totally worth the end result. I give this chem a thumbs up, and I only wish I had more, because the said vendor has since disappeared. I will also note, that if I hadn't had etizolam on hand, things might have become very miserable, very quickly. I think a benzo on hand is a must if you're going to be dabbling about with obscure substances such as this one. Be safe everyone!
