Psilacetin (4AcO-DMT)
I wasn?€™t looking forward to this, since I so dislike mushrooms (and won?€™t take them) and this looked too close; in fact the theory was it was a prodrug for psilocin, yet again and again it is claimed it is different to psilocybin/psilocin (ie the 4Ac0 has some intrinsic activity*) and this variance meant even of the people who really dislike mushrooms some were saying this was worth a go. My girlfriend who is ok with shrooms tried it some weeks before at 15mg and found it close but distinct to psilocybin/psilocin; she said it was strong but somewhat hollow compared to mushrooms; lacking in their organic shamanic power and rulebook.
(20mg) I Wasn?€™t expecting this to taste nice but there was something really rank and off about it; it came on pretty hard within 15 minutes; vertigo, queasy, woozy and the numb anaesthesia ?€“ it?€™s been a while and I hadn?€™t remembered how unpleasant a mushroom come up is. Within the next ten minutes there were some visual changes and I felt sick and weak.
I lie down and try to relax into it since I am in it now, there?€™s bolts of anaesthesia and paraesthesia .
The effects, whilst close to psilocybin, are cleaner, the colouring seems lighter. There is certainly a visual element but closing my eyes it all seemed rather empty; mushroom space seems populated with critters of various sorts; this is simpler or abstract. There is a whirring, jigging and changes of pitch and an effect of swooping changes of direction, P. Semilanceata is meant to contain around +/-10mg psilocybin per gram so 20mg of this should comparable be a pretty modest 2g dose of liberty caps; probably about right but it is actually different enough that such a comparison isn?€™t easy.
Suddenly it all seems to calm down only an hour in, I get up and make a drink for my girlfriend who?€™s returned from work.
I feel drunk, unfocussed, unsteady on my feet with a slouched posture and slightly slurred perhaps monotone voice; I am heavy, tired and there is continuing muscle weakness, it isn?€™t quite as heavy as mushrooms but it has all the same side effects; although for example the yawning that drives me mad is less.
I feel not much good for anything but lying about; it keeps coming back a bit ?€“ as a lethargic drunkenness. No other psilocybin type analog is anywhere as near as close as this but it definitely isn?€™t the same. It has the same rapid crescendo that falls off before any promise is met, then one is left feeling somewhat out of it and like a sack of potatoes. It?€™s a bit clearer/cleaner but it is all there; psychologically it was easier, less complex, less twee and dark which could be in it?€™s favour over mushrooms and avoid some pitfalls like the double bind, but it feels like I just sit it out now.
I chat and do a few bits then start to stagger about near losing balance close to falling ?€“ I feel very close to black out so climb towards the bed holding on to things as I go; I have collapsed and blacked out on shrooms before ?€“ everything is closing in and I feel terrible. Several times I feel I might loose consciousness and feel ill. I check the clock in confusion ?€“ it?€™s only perhaps 2.15hr in ?€“ can that be right? The time dilation is huge ?€“ I thought I was in repair. I don?€™t know what?€™s going on. I feel ill and totally fuddled. About 10 minutes later my girlfriend comes lie with me; I?€˜ve been trying to relax but writhing in discomfort and been having spasms and jolts running through me; rapid clenches and twitches. I?€™d assumed this stuff safe; perhaps I?€™ve discovered ill timed, an underlying condition? There again some how psilocybin itself doesn?€™t sit right physically or psychologically. Are the spasms psychological? I don?€™t feel panicked but sort of absently concerned. A few minutes of this I take 1mg etizolam and in 10 minutes I?€™m in a better place and the jerking stops. After this I lay about ?€“ listen to the radio in a few hours the etiz starts to decline and I am less comfortable, but it mostly gone and probably lasted 7hrs or so.

*Many will put forward the fact that mushrooms contain baeocystin/norbaeocystin; a problem being the quantities are pretty trival and activity essentially inconclusive; it is also hard to see psilocin as chemically enabling these side products activity by the oral route, so pending any better evidence being forthcoming I assume it fairly plausable psilocin is really and active component in fungal material and the consistently notable difference with 4AcO- being more down to its intrinsic action, in concert with psilocin (as a metabolised product) than having much to do with the natural monomemethylated psilocin/psilocybin analogs but of course this is conjecture.

It definitely seems mushrooms, and some chemicals closely related, are not for you.

I've always loved tripping, but only on phens and LSD. Mushrooms and 4-aco-dmt were always horrible experiences for me. Id feel sick physically while on them and the trip is always bad (and not in the productive bad way - just entirely unpleasant start to finish. You seem a bit like me in that regard.

I don't know what your experience with other tryptamines have been like, but if you haven't sampled many, don't write them all off simply because you don't like mushrooms and 4-aco-dmt. I almost made that mistake but eventually I discovered there are some tryptamines I absolutely love: AMT and 5-meo-mipt are two that instantly come to mind.
 
Yeah that’s exactly it, hit the nail on the head - also why I posted the moclobecybin TR for comparison/history. Again like you other tryptamines are fine - aMT and 5Me0-MIPT not particularly I have to say but plenty are very good
