I'm starting to get more than a little worried about potential damage caused by abusing this drug - a stage which I have no doubt fallen into, taking 150mg 4 nights per week.
Is there any evidence which may point to this chemical being neurotoxic or physically addictive?
I'm not asking this due to noticing toxic effects or whatnot - quite the contrary, despite the somewhat constant abuse, the only negative effects I feel after coming down from the trip is a slight headache and somewhat blurred vision, yet feel completely normal the next day, or in many cases, better.
It's gotten to the point that during the peak of my trips the number one thought swimming around me head is "Man, why am I wasting time having an introverted trip within my own head when I could be learning real life skills and being a productive part of society while sober".
This stuff is starting to make me feel repulsed over any sort of drug usage now, and the guilt I feel on it while tripping is overwhelming, to say the least.
Now I may sound harsh about it, but I do love this stuff, it's fun, it's enlightening, it gives me motivation, but the more I do it the more it feels like life is becoming a blur, and a night on this stuff feels like a week of wasted time.
never has a drug made me feel like time is so limited to achieve what I want to achieve, as though every minute wasted is wasted potential. It's like it leaves me in a box where time is distorted, where I can't move forward, and its telling me that I'm just wasting time in this box, whereas without it I could be moving forward, learning things...
It also makes me reminisce over my cognitive abilities from years gone by, comparing my cognitive process back when I was younger, around 16 to my current cognitive process, comparing how much has changed, what sort of conclusions I would have come to, etc. MXE definitely has left me comparing my current self to my old self quite a lot, wondering if MXE has changed my cognitive functions over the long-term in any way...
Sorry if this all sounds like gibberish, I'm typing this after having a 200mg insufflated dose an hour ago. What I'm trying to say is that this drug has a way of making me feel guilty for using it, despite being so alluring,
