this has popped up on a few sites advertised as a direct replacement for MDAI, anyone have any info or experiences on this?

ive found a couple of reports but they are like 7 years old.
 
It's probably a shit MDAI replacement - this is MDAI with no methylenedioxy

I do seem to recall it's an OK stimulant though.
 
Seen some reports on other forums, looks like a very short acting stim with mild euphoria and music appreciation. Sounds fiendish!
 
Absolute fucking crock that some vendors are touting this, an obviously dopaminergic stim, as an MDAI replacement. Combine this in MDAI-like quantities with a healthy dose of something like MPA, as many would, and you're probably in trouble. This is MDAI without the MD (as Sekio said) and the methylenedioxy group presumably caused its similarity to MDMA/MDx in terms of serotonergic effects in the first place.

What's worse is I've actually seen some of this shit and it looks almost identical to good MDAI, as I suppose you'd expect given the aminoindane group in common, only a bit yellower but I would've accepted it as MDAI had I not known what it was.

If I cross the line on vendor discussion with this post, it's only because I think there's important HR info to be had!
 
I've tried 2-AI, somewhat jittery, but not intolerably so; seemed quite long acting.

Certainly absofuckinglutely zero entactogenic effects. Route of administration were intranasally (burns like Hades) and rectally.
 
iv see this been sold mixed with mpa just want to know any of you tried it yet ? or is that up to me next week ? scratch that as iv just seen this bit above

this is now making me wonder if this is why my mpa has been so nice of late they are cutting it with this stuff ?
 
2-AI is a strange stimulant with frequent reports of weirdness and few reports of rewarding effects, as far as I've heard. Wait for something better to come along.

The reports from 7 years ago are from the last time it made the rounds, everyone agreed that it sucked, and people stopped making it. It's been available since then on several occasions, and nobody's yet been impressed enough to write about it - as far as I can see, not even the usual shills; I'm not sure why anyone expects it to be any better now than it was 7+years ago.
 
well as iv got some spare cash this next week im going to get a gram just to see if it is what they have added to mpa as that just totally changed and i mean in a very strange way from a crap stim to one im now raving about and craving at the minute

I'll bet it's not. I don't think 2-AI would make MPA any better. Both are dirty stims that have not received good reviews - it's unlikely combining the two will somehow produce a dramatically better drug. It's probably adulterated with a good drug (or you were used to a cut/garbage product and the new batch is clean so seems great be comparison).

why do you think that 2-AI is "obviously dopaminergic"?

Okay, I retract my "obviously". And it could well be other neurotransmitters affected too but all the anecdotes and speculation I've read so far seem to suggest a strong dopamine involvement. Subjective and objective effects in various TRs certainly seem consistent with what I broadly recognise as a dopamine releaser or DRI effect, maybe with some NA involvement too.

Haven't tried 2-AI personally btw but have done a lot of other dopaminergic stims in my time.

But, yeah, I think I just confused something I've come to assume to be true with something I know to be true. I take it back!

Also that really wasn't the point of my post. I prefer to leave that sort of thing to more competent chemists and biologists. It really doesn't matter *how* it achieves the stimulant effects, it's still a big potential danger when combined with other stims and I wanted to highlight that.

Thanks for verifying. I've seen few, if any, reports of empathogenic effects. Definitely total bullshit that this is a replacement for MDAI!

They really seem to have plucked this out of the air. The only common ground these vendors seem to be basing this on is the aminoindane group. I'm not *really* sure why they're doing this: anyone smart enough to identify the shared aminoindane group is going to Google for TRs before buying and find out that this is nothing like MDAI and the rest are going to be completely indifferent to the ploy, buy a gram and never buy it again anyway.

I have read the reports on erowid some time ago, and I faintly remember some people calling this a "sedating stimulant". can anyone comment on that?

Description reminds me of that horrible stim afterburn where you know that you're physically tired and theoretically ready for bed but you're still hardwired and restless. Sounds like a pretty nasty chem to be honest!
 
MDAI shares many similarities with MDMA but it's much milder. It is also safer regarding toxicity. If you decide to acquire this compound, make sure that you purchase it from a good source; poor or outright bogus MDAI is common. By the way, the combination of MDAI and bk-MDMA (Methylone) is pretty nice at a 1:1 ratio. Regarding 2-AI, skip it, as it's little more than a mediocre stimulant.
