I figured I'd write up a little something, because before I took my first pill last night, I struggled to find many accounts of the experience (likely due to the rarity of the drug). Thus, I figured I'd share my experience and bring some insight to the masses. To start, sources will not be discussed, but if you are tech-savvy enough, these can be fairly easily acquired. That's all I will say on that!

Brief background on my personal drug experience (for reference): Daily marijuana user since age of 16 (I'm 27), daily oxycodone user from 21-23, daily heroin user 23-26. I've tried basically every drug on the mainstream drug markets with the exception of meth. The past year I have slipped back and forth on the heroin, I am currently 1 week clean from the drug, and decided to embrace total abstinence (including MJ). However, I had arranged for these Quaaludes prior to my cleaning up, and needless to say, I could not help myself upon arrival.

The pills I got are 300mg clandestine-lab made, with a stamped-imprint that says BOSS. They are the biggest pills I've ever seen. It's like the width of an ecstasy QUAD stack, and the diameter of a QUARTER. For me, def a little uncomfortable to swallow, but taste was not bad at all (I'll get more into that later).

(Note: When I eat marijuana edibles, it takes AT LEAST 2 hours before I feel it normally, many people tell me its closer to a half hour-hour range for them, so that could also be the reason these ludes took so long to take effect.)

At about 5pm I swallowed one 300mg pill. An hour later I was talking to my friend on the phone, and basically telling him I was underwhelmed, and just felt tired.

Just under 2 hours after ingestion, I felt a slight increase in high, but nothing major. At this point I decided to try smoking a bowl of marijuana, as I had researched in South Africa Quaaludes are extemely common, and actually smoked/free-based MIXED-IN with marijuana. I did not follow this scheme exactly; I swallowed the pill, and about an hour and forty-five minutes later, I smoked a bowl of clean, dispensary purchased marijuana, lol.

BAM! Almost instantly after adding weed to the effect, a very noticeable euphoria set in. I put on music and felt great. I put on a documentary, sat down, and loved that too. It reminded me of the first time I snorted a roxy/oxy, but slightly different... Definitely it's own class of drug (not better or worse, just unique).

The euphoria was the primary effect for a good 2 hours (at least) which was a really pleasant surprise. About 4 hours after ingestion, the total loss of motor coordination set-in. This is where the movie "Wolf of Wall Street" hit the nail on the head, Dicaprio really presents it almost perfectly. Certainly there was a growing loss of motor dexterity from the very beginning, but it clearly intensified 4-hours post-ingestion. I stood up and immediately fell back to my bed. I could walk, but had to do so slowly with keen focus on my balance. Oddly, my head-space was fairly lucid. I was certainly fucked up, but I was well-aware of it. I knew driving would be a death-sentence and ordered some food.

The best comparison I can give is something like a mix of snorting a roxy (back when just 30mg made you feel like the fucking man) and a medium-light dose of ketamine. I say ketamine because the loss of motor functioning was closer to K than alcohol, but it wasn't trippy at all, so I could see why some people would compare it to alcohol instead. But still, I really think oxy + non-trippy ketamine is the best analogy to describe the effect.

Food showed up, I ate it, and then slept almost immediately, lol.

I decided to take half a pill this morning as I have the day off, and wanted to see what a lower-dose would yield because the loss of motor-skills was a little more than I would've liked. Don't get me wrong, euphoria was awesome, and it was fun when I was all wobbly and tingly, but I like to still function on drugs. But that's how the physical sensation is, it's almost like you're so sensitive that everything feels intense and throws you off balance! An old-timer once described it to me as a cross between xanax and ecstacy (without any trippyness), which is also a pretty good description; but I think my analogy is the most accurate (oxy + ketamine).

I'm just under 3 hours post ingestion of approximately 150mg (the pill was tricky to split), and the euphoria isn't far from what I felt last-night. Motor skills still impaired, but I can walk without concentrating on it, haha. Then again, that could change in another hour, so we'll see.

Some things to consider:
There was a bit of a hangover this morning, not like alcohol though, more like the hangover of a benzo or an opiate, or somewhere in between. Also, when I split the pill, some pieces sort of flaked off into powder. I was nervous it would make me gag like a pinky of mollie, but really was not a noticeable taste at all, and I swallowed it with seltzer. So if you have fruit juice or something, or even water, it wont taste bad even if you have to swallow half a crushed pill.

I was considering snorting the pill, but it's so huge it would be so much powder, and it's really not necessary.

I will report back if any significant changes happen, but I am very pleased with this (approximate) 150mg dose, and 300mg will certainly get the job done for any and every junky or naive-user. I truly believe my drug experience and tolerance had no effect on my ability to tolerate the dose, as it truly is a completely different class of drug.

If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer!

Stay safe!

Follow up: It is now 4 hours post ingestion, euphoria decreased, some motor-skill loss but I feel like in an hour I can confidently drive... No big surprise, except that 150mg was fairly sufficient for some warm fuzzies... 300mg (one pill) is def a punch in the face, but in the best way possible. I heard someone describe shooting heroin (I've only snorted/smoked) like a warm hug from an old friend... Methaqualone is like that too... But you're a wobbly tingly guy (person) too... lol. I DID NOT notice any significant aphrodisiac effects as I was lead to expect. However, I've just been chilling, maybe if I was with a woman or watched some porn it would be a different story, lol.
 
I wanted to try Quaalude for a long time. But it is basically impossible to find where I am from and most people don't even know what it is. Interesting to read a "trip report" from someone who have actually tried it.
 
Nice, thanks for sharing, it's rare to see a report on this. I've been really curious for some time, given the chance, I'd definitely try it.

By the way since this is in the TR forum now, I changed the title to reflect our naming standards. Well I kept your title, I just added some info in our format.
 
Thank you for describing this in a report - interesting! Shame that RC ludes apparently are not quite on par.
 
Thanks for sharing the experience with us. However, are you sure it was methaqualone? Did you get an opportunity to test it? It could have easily been barbiturates like pentobarbital, since they're really easy to synth, have a very similar effect and are more potent. Methaqualone synthesis on the other hand is incredibly difficult.
 
I too am curious. Were you dealing with purported Methaqualone or were you using one of the many Quinazolinone analogues that are for sale these days? I've never come across Methaqualone in real life or on either the dark or clear nets.
 
I did not test it myself, but it was sold (dark net) as methaqualone, and given the country it came from, I wouldn't doubt that it is indeed methaqualone. Also, other comments on the vendor's page suggested it was indeed "the real deal." However, I cannot with 100% certainty say what chemical it was. However, it definitely felt the way it's portrayed in wolf of wall street. I need to get some to my uncle and get his feedback, as he always told me of his glory days with the ludes, I'd trust his opinion.

Apparently in South Africa they mix it with weed, and smoke it out of a glass bottle-neck... Anyone know if it's bioavailability is high when snorting? I'd love to speed up the onset of effects, or at least keep the euphoria and drop the extreme loss of motor skills LOL.
 
Excellent trip report. I've always wanted to try methaqualone myself . thanks again.
