Just got a Alesis Micron in the mail today.

Pretty cool little guy with an amazing amount of possibilities. With some time you can really make some amazing sounds.
here is a little cool youtube video, best one I've found so far.

Tomorrow I should be getting a few oz of kratom so that should be a fun mix. A bit of stimulating warm goodness with thousands upon thousands of possible sounds at my finger tips.
I love some sumatra white vein. It starts out stimulating, kinda like some tramadol or bupe, then falls into a nice steady warm body high that I'd equate to a hybrid of heroin and hydrocodone that last longer than both. Kratom does have a nasty effect on the body though. I find it to be harsher than any opiate i've tried in giving nausea (especially while moving or trying to down over 15g). Its almost in a way like heroin for me, a wonderful high, but even with years of opiate experience it will produce nausea more so than any other street/traditional opiate (both heroin and kratom). I used to solely ingest kratom by putting it in coffee with some half and half, but even that was pretty rough. I think I'll stick to putting it in yogurt this time. You still get some nasty texture occasionally (and depending on how much your eating), but its alot quicker then trying to down some herby coffee. I'm curious to see just how much kratom I'll need to get a solid high after this summer of heavy opiate use. Its been about a month since I've had any opiate so I'm hoping 15 gs of white vein or red vein will do me right. I'll be painting fences this weekend so I'd be happy with a small uplifting buzz (6-8g) to make the experience more tolerable.
bleh beta-ketones. I really don't care about indulging in them as honestly I really don't even like MDMA very much, not to mention the adverse effects seen with many of them. It is still sad to see what they and other stimulant RCs have done in the past years, not only in the UK but the the US. I'm just glad it didn't get as bad in the US as it did in the UK, but if more jwh/cannabinoids and phenethylamine hospitalizations or deaths start becoming more prominent, there will be some times, sadder than it is already. Stupid fools marketing spice and especially bath salts in the US after it became a huge deal in the UK. Not sure what they expected besides a big crack down. Money just is to big of a draw for some, putting harm reduction and community dead last.
Lets just hope RC dissociatives remain relatively quiet (MXE has made that loudest noise and nothing has come of it yet thankfully). Maybe its because dissociatives are eclectic in comparison to traditional psychedelics, and especially to stimulants. I've found that many people I've talked to who've indulged in dissociatives once or twice find them to cause them to be distraught. Dissociative do produce a state of mind that can be very confusing, even to someone who absolutely loves them. I've come out of a k hole, stumbled out of my room, look at my roommate and started asking a series of questions trying to figure out what is going on. Not that I didn't know I was intoxicated, I just couldn't figure out what I was doing or supposed to do. I can see how if you are not expecting such effects, or no willing to let yourself be destroyed so you can observe the world in a more objective manner that it can be a very confusing and potentially scare experience. The good thing is, those who shouldn't be doing it (ones who do it in an environment that promote confusion, or are risk takers), seem to never want to try the experience again, and tell those they know, not to try it, limiting the reach of such drugs.
