no idea why it's so expensive. in my experience it hasn't been that expensive. i suppose it's because it's a relatively "new" RC - and synthesis costs are high at the moment. why is 5-meo-dalt so expensive?! i think this one will actually be banned quite quickly.
in my humble opinion this benzo is the king of the benzo world behind flunitrazepam. however, you have to exercise great caution with it as i can imagine it falling into the wrong hands completely and we end up with a load of phenazepam type experiences on our hands due to its incredibly long time to start working and it's pretty long half life too. i don't want that to happen. you HAVE to respect this one, because it will NOT respect you if you start messing around with it.
like i've said, i have a lot of experience with benzos in general, and I've had my horror stories on phenazepam too which taught me to appreciate the long ass time it takes for this one to take hold. i started feeling the tranquil feelings around an hour to an hour and a half down the line, then i entered flunitrazepam territory, which frankly is dangerous.
the most i took was 16mg, 4x4mg tabs, because i wanted to see what kind of high i could attain. like i said, took a while to come on, and is very very subtle to come on. it gradually built up further and further to the point of blackout around 7-8 hours into taking it, so i made sure i was in bed.. however those 7-8 hours following up were some of the most euphoric i've ever experienced on benzos before. there was a very strong body type euphoria for me which i can only associate to flunitrazepam, my vision was screwed up, but in a pleasant way - and time dilation was very present. if we want to call it that. more like mini moments of amnesic recall. i lost most of my inhibitions and found myself on Facebook for instance, something I've not done for an extremely long time. smoking cigarettes, and just generally not giving a fuck with a great mood lift and body buzz.
please note i have no idea what equipotency 16mg is to diazepam. i usually take 20mg a night. that night i didn't have to take any.
the effects lasted into the next day, amnesic, but not black out. my mood was lifted greatly. i wish i had more.
