Well, I bashed my way through the other 100mg last night (admittedly it is probably around 6 months old, never opened so dunno if its lost some potency)
Threw in a bit of my favourite mixer / catalyst butylone, before during and after. Laid off the cider this time. Went at it to test if I could hole on it and I'm pretty damn sure it cannot be done. Although quite pleasant and uplifting, my previous analysis still sands that it lacks the thing that makes MXE so damn good, (its obviously in the 2oxo, so i would say rather just reducing potency and shortening duration this 2oxo is the key to much more goodness.:D
In a way it kinda felt like a more formal version of MXE, one where it tried to fit rigidly to its criteria and that was it... Bit more colour, usual arylcyclohexylamine feeling of lovely happy anything goes fuck-the-real-world, heightened emotions (ala MXE) and its own quite distinct form of stimulation. Couldn't help but feel it was a little like a jobsworth drug, "this is what your allowed and this is exactly what you get, and paragraph 21 clearly states no hole". If ronseal made RCs this is what i'd expect!
I hope that analogy is not too wierd. Most good arycyclohexylamines can be multilayered and you need to experience them a few times to fully understand it. But this one just seemed to do what it did very matter of fact the first time, and was exactly the same for the second go. Not even butylone with its many good interaction techniques could prize anything different from it.
None of this is to say it wasn't enjoyable, it was all round pleasant and good fun, no bad sides at all. Just a little bit dull and predictable really.
