Had another great experience with this chem a couple nights ago. I was quite surprised, I injected 250mcg into my upper shoulder as I was working at night and couldn't stay awake (I work alone and isolated) and figured by my previous experience of 600mcg I.M. that 250mcg would be a low plus 2. Well needless to say this dose kicked in much harder than anticipated, and I had an absolutely lovely experience. I got some nausea and chills at +5min and thought "uh....oh boy..." and was very up at 20 mins. I bagged off work and watched "How to Draw a Bunny" (a documentary about Ray Johnson) which I hadn't ever seen, and had an amazing and insightful communion with his work and my image of Mr. Johnson himself. Beautiful visuals, a solid empathogenic push (I get this from a good LSD trip too), and lots of valuable insight. It became very possible to look at ones life through a less distorted lens, address problems as well as successes, and the change in perspective is dramatic; this is a true psychedelic The main body of the experience lasted about 5-6 hours, with trailing after effects.
It had been about 2 weeks since my last foray with a N-BenzylOxy 2C (25B, at 400mcg) and I feel any tolerance I would have accumulated was gone. My other experience with I.M. 25C I injected into my gluteus maximus, and I am a skinny dude, but do have a bit more muscle fat on my ass than on my upper shoulder. It is possible the drug is getting caught in the muscle fat, slowing its transit to the brain, and as we all know this will significantly dampen its effects. When I inject ketamine into my shoulder I start to feel it within 1 minute, whereas it takes +5 mins when it goes in my rump. I don't know enough about human anatomy to compare and contrast the blood flow and capillary density between these two areas, but the difference was substantial in terms of intensity adjusted for dose. (The two experiences were roughly equipotent in terms of effects). It is also highly possible that the pharmocodynamics of these substances are more complex and unpredictable for other reasons. More experiences will hopefully answer some of these questions.
I am gonna say that these N-Benzyl PEAs are the most interesting and satisfying substances to come down the pipeline in many years. The mental effects are familiar (aspects of the experience feel very similar to other 5HT2 ligands like LSD or DOI, but the 5HT2A selectivity makes for a substantially different experience) and also unique..... the duration is great, the lessened body load (I was much more aware of my stomach this time, but I had just eaten) is a treat, and there is a very benevolent tone to the experience. I really like this substance!
