I have followed the evolution of methoxetamine, from the first dribble of trip reports (most notably FnB 25mg IM report) to the first general availability and the absolute madness that has followed (5 big and dandy threads already? Do people who take methoxetamine talk a lot or are there a fuckload of people taking this stuff?) while lurking. I first dipped my toe in about 6 months ago and, more or less, fell in love with the compound. Since then I've taken it at a variety of doses from 20mg-150mg over a night, with a variety of ROA (oral, sublingual, intranasal, intrarectal) in a variety of circumstances (at home by myself, with my girlfriend, at small get togethers, at big raging parties, at bar gigs and club gigs) alone and in combination with a variety of drugs (ketamine/4-meo-pcp/morphine/2C-B/2C-E/Ritalin/cannabis). Aside from one two week binge that was almost entirely in combination with morphine (oh I paid for that one...), I've kept to a responsible pattern of usage- I've developed no real tolerance (I like a heavier dose now- I will always plug 50mg because I am comfortable with the 'm-hole', but 50mg still makes me hole) and have gone through less than 2.5g (with over 1g given away) in this time period.
So after that long preface comes my statement-
I've slowly come to the conclusion that this whole 'Methoxetamine' thing is bullshit advertising. What do I mean? I mean that 'Methoxetamine' is 3-MeO-2-Oxo-PCE, it is the ketone analogue of 3-Meo-PCE, its structure is as closely related to Eticyclidine as it is to Ketamine- the name 'Methoxetamine' is purposefully designed to align the drug with hip, groovy Ketamine not nasty, dirty PCP so that it will sell well. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with this (well, there's something wrong with most marketing, but you know...) and it is perfectly understandable, but at the same time I feel like it is this sort of 'it's like ketamine, only legal and BETTER!' marketing that is leading to most of the problems that you can read about on bluelight.
If you treat methoxetamine more like pcp and less like ketamine, then you are immediately less likely to have problems. PCP tends to be taken in a single dose, even when smoking it people will tend to smoke until they feel they are high then put out the cigarette and let the drug do its thing- people will tend to take ketamine several times over an evening due to its short lived effects and sitting around compulsively taking ketamine for hours and hours is something that can be done and enjoyed (even if it's not reccomendable).
The times that I have redosed I have quickly become so intoxicated that I repeated redosed without it really registering what I was doing, I just kept sitting down on the bed, looking over at all my needle-prep shit, walking over to it, prepping another 50mg, lying down on the bed and plugging it, putting the syringe in the needlebank thing (I use drawing needles to plug with, I don't give shit encrusted barrels to the bank

), sitting down on the bed...the other times that I took it when I thought about what I was going to be up to (how mashed should I get?), weighed out my dose for the evening, took it and was either geographically isolated from my stash or had put my Methoxetamine away under lock and key I was high as fuck once its effects fully kicked in and not a single time did I feel like I 'hadn't taken enough'. My sweet spot nasally/plugged is 50mg and has been consistantly. I think there's a difference between 'I feel like I need some more for it to be good' and 'fuck taking some more would feel good'- Methoxetamine provides more of the latter than the former because it is so powerful, even if you undershoot your abosulte optimal level of highness a bit, you're still going to be pretty gone- have a spliff or turn off the lights and get into bed, find a nice place to look at the stars you know?
In addition, when I have taken methoxetamine multiple days in a row (particularly during the 2 week binge noted above) I found that each day I would get increasingly high off my regular 50mg dose- it's almost as if it has some long-acting metabolites that can accumulate and keep you from reaching baseline for 3-7 days (depending on how much I took for how many days) or could it be reabsorbtion from the bladder/intenstines/etc ala PCP? I found this article, that while quite wafflely and brimming with new age crap, does have some interesting user-perspective information and advice on PCP:
http://www.timothywyllie.com/PCP.htm
<<Due to this property, if you go on a Hog binge (and it’s not call Hog for nothing!), be aware that you’ll need smaller and smaller hits since it accumulates in the body. They say after four days you can get a high eating lettuce!>> (from article)
I certainly found this to be true, after taking it for about four days I went outside (rare) during the day (rarer) after a good nights sleep (rarest) and abstaining from drugs (it was that bad), it was a beautiful day, birds were singing, people were going about there business- I nearly had a fucking breakdown from the sudden influx of sensory information. I went and got some food and made myself a healthy meal and ate it, about 45 minutes after this I started to feel higher than I had been feeling when I woke up. It lingers in your system a long time, much longer than ketamine, as long as 4-meo-pcp but less noticably (4-meo-pcp's hangover also lasts me 3-7 days, but it has more of a bodily component so it easier to register) which may infact make it more dangerous as you think you're much more sober than you really are.
So what do you peoples think? Is 'methoxetamine' just a bullshit marketing term that plants false or atleast misleading assumptions in peoples minds? Do you think that people would show the substance more respect if they understood that it was closely related to 3-MeO-PCE/PCP rather than just being "TEH LEGALZ KETAMINESSSsS ALTERNETIVVE"? I certainly have no intention of stopping using it, in fact I think that my bad experiences have taught me the lessons that I needed to learn to get the most out of Methoxetamine. Occasional usage, give your mind and body time to reset and reconfigure between shattering it into a million pieces floating within a metaphysical universe without time or death...
