Let me share my experiences with this. It's an obscure psychedelic with very few trip reports out there, so I thought I'd contribute by sharing mine to help make its effects more widely known.

3.8 mg
-------
Setting: Alone in a remote winter forest beside a small campfire. The area was heavily swampy with a nearby river; temperature around +5 °C. The scenery was beautiful - snow-dusted trees, water, wilderness and the quiet crackle of the fire.
I noted the first unmistakable effects at approximately T+1:00. There was no sudden hit, only a gentle but clear departure from baseline - a quiet, anticipatory feeling that the psychedelic was slowly loading into the system.
The climb continued steadily over the next hour. By T+2:00 the experience had reached its peak. The headspace was unmistakably psychedelic but remained very light: a mild confusional quality, a subtle shift in thought patterns, and a faint otherworldly mindset, yet nothing profound. There were no visual distortions whatsoever — no patterning, no enhancement of color or texture, no closed-eye imagery. Auditory changes were also absent.
Body load was noticeable and, for such a low dose and otherwise underwhelming mental effects, disproportionately uncomfortable. A mild but persistent gastric unease appeared around T+1:30 and lingered for roughly an hour. At the most intense moment I had to sit down for about a minute because the discomfort became momentarily distracting. It was not nausea, but a heavy, unsettled feeling in the stomach that made standing feel slightly wrong. The body load then faded gradually, leaving only the light mental shift.
Overall, the experience remained in the very low-plus range - clear psychedelic character without intensity, visuals, or euphoria, accompanied by a body load that felt heavier than the psychic effects justified.
By T+6h30m I felt sober with a small hint of a pleasant afterglow. There were no troubles falling asleep in the evening.

6 mg
-------
Setting: With a sober friend in the same remote, swampy area near a river as before, with forest and nature all around.
I took the substance at about 10:50 in a gelatin capsule, two weeks after the 3.8 mg dose. No effects showed up until around T+1:20, when I felt a subtle shift away from normal - a gentle sign that the psychedelic was slowly kicking in. At first, it seemed weaker than the 3.8 mg dose, but it built up slowly over the next few hours. The peak hit between T+3:00 and T+4:00, and from both trips, it's clear this stuff has a really slow onset. The 3.8 mg was powder in water, while this was in a capsule, which might explain the longer wait (80 minutes vs. 60 minutes).
Visuals appeared this time, but they were mild and mostly when I stared at one spot. My friend's face would twist and bend a bit. Looking at the forest brought out faint fractals. The trees seemed magical. I noticed beauty I missed when sober. Their twisted shapes were impressive and filled me with wonder. But the visuals weren't strong. If I was busy, like collecting wood, I didn't notice them. They only came back when I focused on something.
The mindset had a light psychedelic confusion, and I felt a bit foggy. When doing tasks like starting the fire or chopping wood, I'd make silly mistakes. I'd zone out, and my thoughts switched to a more poetic style. It felt like I could express ideas artistically, using lots of metaphors. When I thought back to other psychedelic trips, the memories were sharper - I could describe them more exactly.
Body load was oddly lighter than at 3.8 mg. It was short and not bothersome at all.
The trip lasted a long time, probably because it starts slow and fades slow too. Around T+5:00, when we headed home, the effects were still there but past the peak, and I felt more sober bit by bit. By T+6:00 to T+7:00, just an afterglow hung on until late evening. Falling asleep was tough, but I did it without any benzos help. I didn't wake up during the night, even though getting to sleep was hard.
