My experience with the Herbal Highs have been one disappointment after another. They are a waste of money, and to make it even worse, the manufacturers seem to keep a brand name going but change the ingredients as they go along, so you have no idea of strength or anything.
Research Chemicals (RCs) are a different breed altogether. Mephedrone (MCat) and Methylone (M1) are now banned in the UK since April 2010, and bright chemistry students and chinese manufacturers seems to be constantly trying to find, develop and release new similar highs. My experience over the year has been one disappointment after the other. Either theres no euphoria; or its too 'speedy'; or the comedown is a nightmare.
The chemists are trying to re-create mdma and the governments ban whatever is invented 6-months afterwards. It's tiring and in the middle are a whole load of dealers who have no idea what they are actually buying and who can't actually tell punters only take this amount or don't mix it with xyz cause it's not intended for humans, its for plants!!!
Methylone (M1) IMHO is probably the best alternative to mdma, especially if mixed with a little mdai (200mg+200mg is what i take, but i'm 95kgs and like a big hit). Mephedrone (MCat) gives a euphoric experience and is very more'ish, but is not close to mdma. More recently there is Benzo Fury (6-APB) which IMHO gives a rush; hallucinations and justs adds to the rationale why RCs are a waste of time.
I guess I had better move to LA ....
